What a trip!Quit Market was a whirlwind from the moment we arrived.Prop shopping and getting organsied to be able to pull our booths together.So much fun was had but it was also totally exhusting! The Ella Blue Booth Looked faboulous, if I don't say myself.I loved all the other designers ranges and it was fantasic to see them all together. I had so much fun introducing Melba to market,The response was great! We then had to turn around and have the Australian Quilt Market in Melbourne.There was two weeks between the shows but it still seemed very quick with jet lag :) Another great weekend was had, catching up with shop owners and friends. It was great to hang out with the Creative Abundance team tooat my first Australian Quilt Market with them. Thank you to everyone that stopped by and said hello.I had an awesome time :)Thank you also to all the support for my fabric and pattern designs.I am so lucky to be able to do I love what I do :)

I am very excited to show you a peak at my new range Melba. The designs all remind me of my time living in Melbourne whilst I was a student and then in my first couple of jobs. The collection includes the iconic Melbourne tram, which I used to catch to university in the city of Melbourne and a list of the suburbs that I lived in and some of the ones I remember so much. I also designed a print using the old public transport tickets that I used everyday. A fabulous magpie print, these birds lived in all the placed I had houses and I love their morning song. There were also lots of gum trees so I also included a gum nut print and a striking banskia flower. These are such amazing plants and I love the texture of the seedpods after they flower. I also included a simple dot stripe that co-ordinates really well with the other designs.  Stay tuned for more peaks of the range and if you would like too see more regular updates follow me on instagram!
