The Fair has such good memories for me. I remember the first time I went...I was so excited to see a familiar face from my favourite NSW quilt shop...Just Patchwork at Tuncurry...displaying her wares here in the West. Love catching up with Gai each year :)
The Fair is where I first met Janellybelly...a fellow blogger, fabric addict, and now good friend.A visit to the Fair never fails to inspire me...to patchwork, to embroider, to papercraft...to create.
These days the Fair is also a girlie day out for my daughter and I. She takes the day off school (a very rare treat!), we catch the train into the city and have a beautiful day browsing and buying, eating and chatting. Yesterday she bought her first charm pack, and can't wait to start piecing it together on her new sewing machine...and that makes me smile.
And what's a day at the fair without adding to the fabric stash? The swirls of fabric loveliness that is a jelly roll...totally irresistable! If only it was limited to just one... :)

Sounds like the perfect Mother/Daughter day out! Can't wait to see what you have in mind for the Jelly Roll.
What a special day out with Miss Lydia, and yummy purchases too. It's our 2 year anniversary of the beginning of a beautiful friendship! I am SO blessed ;)

I love the fair also. My Shakira and I had the day there Thrus and she is now on her way to her 1st quilt.
I cant wait to see what your daughter makes.
I am so glad that we caught up at the fair, and I just loved seeing all of lydia's little purchases. Now I can't wait to see what she does with them.
Love me :-)
What a wonderful day out, I wish they had something similar here a little closer to me. Cute jelly roll, what charm pack did your daughter choose?
