four days in the city

perth recently had a craft fair that was heavily advertised statewide, and coincided with me having several appointments in the city.
with great anticipation i ventured into the show. people everywhere as you would expect, too many people everywhere as you would expect. i did meet the lovely ladies from Amitie who were over from melbourne, and all i have to say about that is.... you lucky melbourne girls!! clearly they had the best stall in the place. i thought there would be more contemporary fabrics and quilts on show, so i was a little disappointed. i was however, inspired by the japanese craft on display. unfortunately photography was not allowed, because the traditional embroidery was to die for...
i did manage to spy some japanese kimonos and bits on sale whilst wandering through subi a little later in the day...
here's a glimpse, with more to come....

now to ponder, on how to get some of this stitched up, in between the usual weekly chores!!!....
