Fab Fabrics

What a brilliant day today was at Friendship Quilter's Fabric Sale by Doughty's.  Got to the sports hall at 8.30 this morning to help set up all the tables for the fabrics, raffle, sales table and refreshments.  In the past we have held this event in a much smaller hall, so we didn't know quite how it was going to go.  We need not have worried!  The hall became packed and the queues for the cutting and purchasing of fabrics was almost out to the doors!!!


Here's a selection of what was there

.....and this is what I bought to make some bags for summer

My friend Angela, who organised it all, loved the label I made her that went around the roses I gave her.


..............til the next time

Label for my Friend

Tonight I made a label for my friend which I attached to a posy of roses.  She runs Friendship Quilters and does so much for us all.  She has organised a fabric sale for tomorrow and I just wanted to say, 'Thank you'

Early start in the morning to start setting up the tables for the fabric sale.  Til the next time.....

Yo-Yo Fun

Jo Baddeley from Puddleducks in Sevenoaks came over yesterday to Friendship Quilters to do a workshop on yo-yo making.  Many of of us hadn't made them before, so it was quite a challenge.  Luckily Jo had brought along some plastic yo-yo makers and they were fab - made the making so very easy.  I chose to make Christmas yo-yos and made a Christmas Tree cushion.

Here's the start.........

..............and here it is finished at home today

And here are some yo-yos others had made

Judy's

Maureen's

 I didn't get to photo any others, but they were all fabulous.

............'til the next time
