My sisters-in-law and I went up to Brisbane on Saturday for the Craft and Quilt Fair, then spent the rest of the weekend at the Gold Coast and did a bit more shopping at Pacific Fair. It was a great girls weekend away whilst the hubbys stayed and watched the kids (and the indy 600).
We enjoyed the craft fair - there were a lot of lovely fabrics for sale (although prices varied greatly!!) and some beautiful quilts on display too. I went halves in a Little Apples Layer cake with one of my sisters-in-law, and I also bought a few FQ of christmassy fabrics & some more for a black,white and red quilt that I am making soon:
I had been lucky to win some passes to the craft fair from Voodoo Rabbit on facebook a few weeks ago so we made sure to visit their stand at the show as I wanted to pick up some more echino as I had a specific project in mind!
My brother got a kindle for fathers day, and it is his birthday in November so I decided to make him a kindle cover from the echino bicycles as he does triathlons:

I love that fabric - too bad it's not in my budget at the moment!! Your finished project is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI really like your kindle cover..great choice of fabric. :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm over from {Sew} Modern Monday.
oh lovely fabrics!! yeah, I'm a bit jealous ;)
ReplyDeleteThe way you placed the fabric for your pouch (the white bike pops nicely out) is wonderful. I'm also a bit wishing for an own kindle, no clue if it would work for my reading habits. But at least I downloaded the PC- Kindle reader to get instant access to some US books.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of lining your kindle cover with felt. Looks like a great gift!
