Well we survived the Creativ Festival 2013. Dd came with me and as both of us are sick we only managed a couple of hours. Mind you if I had stayed much longer I would have had to take out a second mortgage!!! So lots of things that I would have loved, but we managed to only spend a little money. I am now going to be busy though as dd bought the following material from Fabric Spot It's a Canadian company from Markham Ontario and their fabric is gorgeous. Dd's living room, is green, orange and brown, so she got a fat quarter bundle from the Piper collection. The orange backing is from Architextures collection.
I got two bundles of fat quarters from the Organic Willow collection in pink and pale green. The pale grey backing is also from the Architextures collection. I am going to make two baby quilts to have on hand.
I then bought these six fat quarters from Log Cabin Yardage They too are a Canadian Company and are located in Whitevale, which is north of Pickering. I am going to make dd a table runner for her kitchen table with these.
I also bought these three cross stitch patterns from Red Gate Stitchery. This lady is based in the States and was a delight to talk too. She has some really neat products that you cross stitch. All super simple to do, even a beginner will find these patterns easy and all super cute. You can see better images on her website.
I am a British born, living in Canada since May of 1989. My blog is about all aspects of my daily life.

Gill thanks for sharing these links as I just had a friend on FB looking for a place to purchase organic fabrics from. Passed on the place in Markdale. Love the prints you chose & hope you are feeling much better ten not.
Lots of baby theme colours there....

Love the cross stitch, especially as they can be sent as pdf so I can get them in the UK. Hope you are feeling better
Oh, these are some delicious fabrics! I especially like the last set!!
I've known Markham for years. Back when we frequented - or passed through, it was barely a dot on the map, now it has its own industry. Can't tell you how many times we passed through during our total of 8 years in in Toronto, Ringwood area.
Nice post! I love the fabric. I'm a sucker for the piper line, but I didn't get to buy as much as you! I spent a few too many hours at Festival and it added up fast! Fabric Spot is amazing - if you don't mind me posting it (or remove it if you'd like) I am having a Fabric Spot giveaway on www.threadridinghood.com until May 17,2013. Stop by and click on the blue banner! sherri(at)threadridinghood(dot)com
I love your fabrics you got...specially the ones in pink! I have such a hard time not buying fabric, and the prices are really going up.
