My First Craft Fair

I had a really good day yesterday at the Craft Fair in The Playhouse here in Derry.  I was quite nervous before I went but once I had my table set, I felt fine.

The aim of the day for me was to promote the classes that my friends and I teach in the Parish Centre at St Peter's.  We're known as Keep it Crafty.  I met lots of old friends and quite a few new people interested in quilting.  It was a very positive day.

One of my vintage sewing machines provided a lovely prop for my table.

I enjoyed the fair so I reckon that I would do it again.  Maybe next time I would have some small items for sale as well.

On the way home that afternoon my husband and I were passing by Enagh Lough, which is near where we live, and the light was absolutely amazing.  It was just before sunset and I couldn't resist stopping to take a few photographs.

 Must go now, it's late.  Talk soon.

Craft Fair at The Playhouse

I belong to a group called 'Keep it Crafty' who offer quilt classes in St Peter's Parish Centre, Culmore, here in Derry.  I will be representing the group at the Craft Fair in The Playhouse here on Saturday 19 November between 11am and 4pm. 

Come along and pick up our new timetable for classes starting in January 2012.  Enrol for a class or stop for a chat. 

My husband has kindly made me some ladders to display the quilts, some of which I will teach in January, at the Craft Fair.

An alternative to hanging quilts

But they are also great for my home as there is only so much wall space for hanging the quilts.  It's a shame, I think, to keep them in cupboards all the time.  This way, they can still be on display without taking up too much space.

Lots more quilting to do tonight so I must go.
