Finding Craft Fairs

I have been looking online for craft fairs to exhibit and sell my work, as I have amassed quite a bit of stock now and getting wibbles that Glastonbury will charge too much money for me.  I have found a few hopefuls and look forward to hearing from them.

Apart from research today, I have also finished another cushion panel, ready for a back to be made for it, so that is now two that need backs cutting.  I also have made space on my work table and brought in the kitchen table to put the sewing machine on so I have more room now for cutting fabric and putting things together.  Also the kitchen table is a more stable surface for the sewing machine to sit on :-)  and finally, put together another bag as far as the zip hand-sewing which I plan to do tomorrow in better light and more awake eyes (if you look closely, you can see it in the picture below).





Below are the two other cushions I have finished already, that now have pads in (thank you Tracy for the pad)

My first cushion

Just a quickie before I head off to bed, will blog more next week, but wanted to post a picture of my first cushion tonight.  Can't believe that it has been so long since my last post on here, time goes by much too fast these days.

Anyway, here is the cushion:


There are three more, one has a pad in already, and one other is finished, but no pad and the other isn't quite finished yet, so hopefully by the end of the week they will be all done and I can take more pictures of them.  I have enjoyed making them and am very pleased with the outcome.  I am going to have to buy more Moda charm packs and make some more of them.  The border was made from the Moda jelly roll I had from my magazine subscription.

Well, off I go now, got a semi early start in the morning and need my beauty sleep :-)
