Yes, Di Mill !We sure had a lot of fun catching up with Di and all her new fabric ranges that are coming out!Oh it was fabric heaven (lots of photos on Di's blog of the new fabrics!). I know you will have noticed that Di has the best feet you've ever seen (she's a shoe girl too) so we couldn't resist this photo:

Hi Leanne, would love to go to one of these shows so much talent to see all in one place.

nicolette

So many talent and quilts and shoes and wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing Leanne!

Corinna

Oh Leanne! I met a lady on Saturday who said she was attending on Sunday & immediately turned green with envy.

Now after seeing your post I don't think i'll ever get rid of this green hue!

Such a wonderfully presented stand (Well done Rosie!).

Still at least Thanks to you I now know that it's not JUST about the quilts - I need a great pair of shoes (and red seems to be the choice colour) should I ever find myself lucky to attend a tradeshow of this kind!

Carol Maggs

Great to see your photos. Quilts are lovely and I love all the girls shoes - it's a great photo!Looks like a lot of fun! X Carol.

Anne Sutton

I am SO jealous! I want to be there with all of you. What fun that must have been. I do hope Rosalie wasn't too "naughty" as she says. (:

Darlene Carroll

your, and fellow artisans stand looks fantastic, and so many talented people under Creative Abundance, the title is very apt! I bet you all had a great day together, and probably thinking there was some vino involved during the course of the day!

You all look gorgeous as does your quilts and other projects - I am SO sad that I couldn't be there as well. Next time for sure.

Thanks for sharing the pics, now I can put a face to all of the names.

Thanks so much for sharing that, I've always wondered what it would be like to go to a trade fair. Work and fun all rolled into one!

Nicola

Oh wow Leanne, all those quilts just look stunning - you are all SOOOOO clever - and I just LOVE your red shoes - how many red pairs can a girl have?? Not enough, that's my motto!!!
