Busy, Busy, Busy
Life seems to have been very busy lately. I took a quick trip to Sydney with Jodie the weekend before last for the Quilt and Craft Expo.

We arrived in Sydney to rain and I don't think it stopped the whole time we were there. We caught a taxi into the Rocks planning on playing tourist for the day. It just happened that taxi stopped in front of a cafe - so in we went to have lunch. Jodie's husband visits Sydney for work regularly so a text was sent to him asking what could we do in Sydney when it was raining - the reply "shop"! Well who are we to argue!

Before going shopping though Jodie insisted that I should see Darling Harbour, since I hadn't been to Sydney for about 20 years and things had changed quite a bit. The result - two drowned rats drying their hair under a handdryer in the public toilets in the Queen Victoria Building - now that took me back 20 years!
Since we planned to play tourist we packed light so we could carry our bags around - silly idea though - we didn't take a camera. Definitely a must next time I go to a trade fair. I now have to wait for all my orders to arrive before I can share all the wonderful finds.
We did stuff our bags full (carry on only) with some wonderful finds from QB Fabrics and I will have those listed in the shop very soon - and just to be a tease here are some of the fabrics we lugged home - thanks Jodie!

Since then I have been stitching non-stop - but nothing to show you yet - you are going to love them when I can share - not too much longer.

You managed to come to Sydney during our worst storm in 30 years! :) But judging from the fabrics you brought home it looks like a great trip!
Wow - too much gorgeous fabric...I love it!
Hi Sarah,
Those old patterns are so cool!! You won't be selling those in your store, will you?
OMG what great fabrics! the dress pattern one would be a PERFECT sewing apron and I want a pillow with the little owls!
Oh that owl fabric is sooooo cute!
Great fabric Sarah... now I wish I could sew. :)
I love those fabrics! That dress fabric is to die for.
