Warragul Quilt & Craft Exhibition Sept 10 - 11

Angus and I went to the 3rd Annual Warragul Quilt & Craft exhibition that is on today & tomorrow. I asked if I was allowed to take some photos. I am so glad that they said yes but I used my mobile so the colours aren't as crash hot as they could be but boy did I see some wonderful quilts. There are so many talented local people around.

this was my one of my favourites

I love the country look :D

Look I found a crocheted item. They're hats with ribbons made into a quilt.

This one looks much better than the photo shows. The colours were beautiful.

I love the washing line. It had 'real' washing on it. This was one of my favourites too :)

What can I say I loved the flowers.

The photo doesn't do this quilt any justice. The purples were so bright!

oops a tad blurry but oh so pretty.

This was done in all blues :)

Angus loved the dinosaurs

I bought a few bits and pieces for myself. Some scrapbooking things and a couple of pieces of material. I took some photos of those once I got home. I'll share them another time.

The money raised from this weekend goes to our local hospital. So of course we had to buy a drink and a cake to have after we had seen everything. They even had diabetic friendly cake. It was a very moist fruit and really nice. Sadly though I forgot to take a photo of it. There's always next time ;o)

Craft Blog Surfing

For the last day or so I have been 'surfing' or 'stumbling' (what ever you wish to call it) different blogs at blogger. I've been clicking on the Next Blog link at the top of each blog to 'hopefully' find something that may inspire me to create.

I have to admit that I have found some really good stuff out there. There are HEAPS of TALENTED people sharing their crafts. Whether it be knitting, crocheting, quilting, sewing, paper crafts etc. I've even followed a few blogs that I liked. You can check out the list of blogs I follow in the menu on the right.

Hopefully I will be inspired to create some new stuff myself.

Quilting Measurement Conversion Chart

I found a great conversion chart for converting inches to metric for fabric. It's worth printing out & keeping.
