Name Drops!

So, I've now had 3 proper stalls (and I have 2 more coming up soon! :)) and one of my 'products' in particular seems to be selling well.... the name drops!
Basically they are personalised hanging names made from random material (mostly flowery although I tend to avoid the flowers for the boy ones!).
I think that people appreciate being able to personalise them with whatever names they want - and I think that its always special to give a gift for Christmas that was handmade :)

I've had 23 orders since I started Newton Rose at the beginning of the summer but have made a few more than that (for ME to give to people :P) and I think I'm getting a bit of a production line going! Right now I have about 5 names all at one stage (right before I attach all the letters together to form the names) so I thought I'd take a picture! The good thing about taking a picture at this stage is that none of the names can be distinguished so don't fear those people who have ordered one for someone for christmas!!!



And here are two that have been finished and have already been given to their final recipients:

Malvern Quilt Show!

On Sunday I went to the Autumn Quilt Show in Malvern!
It was a really awesome day, I saw a LOT of amazing quilts and was tempted by hundreds of fat quarters :)

I gave in a bit a got some material:


I could have easily bought more - As many people said to me on Sunday "Nobody here NEEDS more material, but we buy it anyway..." :)

I also got a necklace charm shaped like a bobbin! Which I LOVE, me and mum are always complaining that we don't have enough bobbins so now I'll always have an extra :P

I would DEFINITELY go to something similar again if I had the chance!
