Friday night turned into a party for me. Funny, when I arrived the thought in my mind as I crossed the street was "I do not know a single person except Sarah." Eeek! This is the third week in a row I've felt those flutters in my heart.

Big yoga breath and in I went to the venue, the brilliant shop Plume au Vent in Greenwich where the book launch was already in full swing. Some 50 people came along in top form. Sarah being hostess with the Mostest was great at introductions and names. I thought I would be home by 10pm but was still laughing at 11.30pm, might even have been midnight. Such a fun night. Much needed fun I might add. Anyhoo, drinking bubbly is always a favourite past time of mine.

Kim and I ate a few of those amazing cup cakes too. Though I am trying to get down to my wedding weight for my anniversary next week with 2 kilos to lose I am thinking yum! Treats!

Congratulations to Sarah for publishing her third book. She sure is one talented and hard working lady. But don't tell her because she will blush! In fact, blush many times. Humble hey!

On the night I met many amazing people but found myself mostly chatting to Kim who writes a terrific blog and another Sarah who runs a new shop in Balmain called Calico and Ivy. Sarah Fielke will be teaching there this term. If you live in Sydney have a look at the classes, i think it would be amazing to learn from Sarah. Such talent.

The next day I woke up in the dark earrrrly morning with my daughter jumping all over me, "Can you PLEASE get me a glass of water water" I squeaked. Then rolled over and  and enjoyed the memory of Sarah's quilts flashing beautifully in my mind. I have a feeling every one present went home wishing to make them all.

I wasn't too impressed with the blurry images I took with my iPhone, maybe because I could not stop chatting, giggling or because it was night time. Some of the pictures I borrowed from Sarah’s blog thanks to her husband Damien who took a proper camera. Smart.

Sarah's book "Quilting From Little Things" is available in Australia in all good book shops and of course from Plume au Vent in Greenwich. It is lovely. Lovely. Lovely.

I've been looking all over for her book, only to realize it isn't in the States yet. Really looking forward to the release here!
