Christmas Craft

Went to Caccia Birch this evening for the Zonta annual Christmas Craft Fair.

The fine print above promised "music, finger food and wine while you shop" - who could resist :-)
My purchases were small but lovely : some more pretty ribbon from Carole

and I couldn't resist buying this beautiful brooch for myself. Gorgeous jewel colours and something I would never make.

Earlier today I did some cutting and stitching for a Xmas project

Haven't done any piecing for a while.

It's nice to be stitching something quilty.
If you are thinking of making presents for Xmas - check out this quite cool idea from Kim Thittichai on YouTube decorating sketchbook covers with bondaweb and glitter/foil/fibres. Inspiration for different applications.
Hope you have a creative weekend.
