Let's Celebrate Gift for Kali, Brisbane Craft Show.

I had an email from Kali to say she has opened her Birthday parcel so here are some photos of what I sent.


Top:  Lindt choccies, Paris charm and notebook, Nancy Halvorsen Charm pack, Cottage Gardens thread and scissors. Middle: Gail Pan Thread Holder, Bottom: Inside of  holder, can hold 24 threads.
Thank you Karen from Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop for running the Let's Celebrate Swap. I have enjoyed getting to know Kali and look forward to a continued friendship after the swap is over.

Today I went to the Brisbane Craft and Quilt Show.  Had a wonderful day with my friend Jan. Bought some lovely goodies which I will show you tomorrow after I spend my second day there. Checked out the  stalls today but am looking forward to viewing all the display quilts tomorrow and maybe a few more purchases as well., but don't tell hubby.
Also, while I was there, I met up with a few blogger friends. Below is a photo borrowed from Teresa's blog as my photos weren't very good. I owe you one Teresa (thanks).
From the left, front row.... Val, Teresa, Tatyana, Sandi, Marilyn, and me.
Standing behind... Lynda, Susan, Michelle and Fiona.
Thank you all so much for your company at morning tea, it was lovely to catch up if only for a short while.
Well, must go as it is getting late and a girl needs her sleep to be able to do it all again tomorrow.......

    Enjoy your time at the show. I think two days is quite reasonable LOL. You need time to check everything out and then think a bit before you decide what to buy. Love the colourway on the thread holder too, perfect choices! xx debbie
