What a gorgeous sunny day we have here in Brighton although something tells me that there won't be too many more of these types of autumn days so I am enjoying the sunshine streaming into the house whilst I can. We rose early today and went off to the markets and a new little antique shop that I have discovered nearby. I brought home some treasures but I will leave them to show you another day because I have so much to show you and tell you about from the Quilted Crow's Autumn Gathering which was held at Campania yesterday.
Here is the lovely Cathy and Sarah stitching away. I didn't take any other photo's of the other bloggers because time just flew, by the time I realised I hadn't taken many it was time to go home - But I do know that others have heaps of shots - Some not so glamorous - So keep an eye on the other Tassie Bloggers sites.
This was our arrival parcel. A lovely cup cake, dish towel, box of sweets and our pattern packs.
This is the lovely Doiley for Deidre by Helen Stubbings . Jo created a beautiful version of this on the day. I can't wait to see it completely finished.
Helen also created these gorgeous needle turned dish towels
And a cup cake mug bag - I purchased the kit for this one
Here is an oven mitt designed by Natalie Ross - It is gorgeous. This is the project that I chose to start on the day.
Natalie also designed a lovely apron and pot holder (trivet) to go with it. They are stunning !!
Here are the designs from Deidre (Quilted Crow) - Backpacks, Dolly and Tea Cosy.Leonie also had a gorgeous table runner which I forgot to photograph - It was called Oh My Stars
Here is my little needleturned cup cake for my oven mitt.
Both Helen and Natalie were super helpful and were both lovely ladies and so generous with their time.
And now to the most important part of the day - The purchases. I did ask Lenoie (Quilted Crow) to tie me to my seat after my 4th visit to the shop area - It was a little ridiculous - I kept seeing things I liked - You know how it is............
Above is all of the yummy fabric and Mug Carry Bag Kit.
And the patterns .......It was a lovely day with great company and many laughs. I am already looking forward to the next one.
HUGS,

What a fantastic day for you ladies!
I'm feeling envious (can you tell?)

That sounds like lots of fun. How on earth were you able to decide on what to sew? I wouldn't have been able to choose.
What a great day. Wish I lived closer so that I could attend. Thanks for sharing.

What a fabulous day you had!! So many decisions...projects? fabrics?...the best kind of choices to have to make!
It all looks so lovely! I admit I am a bit envious! I wish we had these type of wonderful gatherings here in the states where I am. You ladies down under have really taken the quilting and stitching to another level! My favorite stitchery/sewing/quilting things come from your neck of the woods! The fabrics you purchased are gorgeous! Feminine and romantic looking, my favorite!
What a great time you had. Cupcakes are a favourite subject and the designs look fabulous. Enjoy the feeling of the day!
Kind Regards
