The shopping has been unpacked...

...and this is what I bought at the NEC on Saturday. There were so many fantastic stalls there you could have spent hours just shopping. While dashing around the stands, I heard someone exclaim "thats one of mine!", and who should it be but the lovely Helen (HenHouse) and her equally lovely sister. I was wearing one of her pretty brooches! We had lovely chat, and they told me all about this amazing new presser foot for sewing curves at The Cotton Patch - I did go and watch the demo H, it looked really simple to use, can't wait to hear how you get on with it!

Here are my purchases. Some gorgeous polka dot fabric for some polka dot birthday bunting..

Some lovely red white and blue fabric for a custom bunting order for an event...

Some Aurfil threads that I have heard a lot about and have been dying to try, they are made in Italy and are totally gorgeous

A telephone, no not really, I bet you know that its a suction handle thingy to stop your ruler slipping when you're rotary cutting..

And last a little treat, a gorgeous kit to make this mini quilt, which I'm going to make as a wall hanging, couldn't resist the liberty prints.

That's my haul, looking forward to getting sewing!
