Sydney Craft & Quilt Fair – Day One Giveaway
Let’s do this!!! Welcome to the first day of the Sydney Craft & Quilt Fair! It’s time to make it rain, glitter of course! I can see the manic crowd outside about to stampede through the front doors any minute! Bring. It. On.
To celebrate my first quilt exhibition, let’s do a giveaway! I’ll pick out a rainbow fat quarter bundle from my Magic Suitcase that I brought with me to the show! The giveaway will run through Monday, July 14, AEST. Just leave a comment to enter, and leave a second comment if you are coming to the show and tell me what day! Easy, cheesy, peasy!
Oh, and you probably saw on Instagram (follow me at: molli_sparkles), but I am now a cover boy! I made the cover and page seven (almost page three, damn!) of the Sydney Central newspaper. Woohoo! See you soon!
I'm in — what a booth, holy cow! Have a blast!
I'm sure after the show Page 6 will be all yours! Wish I was coming to the show. hayleymstephens at gmail dot com
If I was not amgazillion miles from the show…I would be there to share the excitement and be part of the glitterati!
Oh your booth looks just stunning!!! If the stars align I will be there on Saturday afternoon to have a look see at your beautiful quilts!!

It's all so exciting! Your booth looks like my kinda place – just one wee omission and that is the very comfortable couch and the champers! (OK that's two). Have a blast. Loads of love xxxx
Woo hoo! Very exciting! Congrats!
I wish I was close enough to get that one piece of glitter stuck to me (you know, the one you can't get rid of no matter how hard you try?)
Congrats on all of it!
Wish you were coming to nz!
Your booth looks great! Best of luck with the show!
Happy exhibiting! Thanks for the chance for a piece of the magic suitcase!
That suitcase looks pretty awesome! Wish I could go to the show, but alas I am half a world away.
Covergirl needs to bring out a new rainbow colour range in your honour – would love that bundle thank you 🙂 Hope you have fun glitter bombing everyone!

Trying again! Have just come to your site via sewmccool – will enjoy looking around it l later when I have a little more time. However I will certainly be making sure I find your exhibition at the Show, hopefully on Friday, just have to find my way to the new exhibition site. Always great to see these quilts in person. Good luck at the Show.
Oh, if I wasn't on the other side of the world, I'd come visit you. Best of luck on being your fabulous self and showing the world how it's done.
That suitcase looks so appealing! Thanks for sharing with others
What a great suitcase full of goodies – great stash builder pieces.
Love the suitcase and the shoes! Hope you send to the US.
Oooh, great setup!! This looks fantastic!
I'd love to hop over from Wellington NZ for the show, but can't this year. Maybe next time?
Now that's a suitcase I would love to have.
I wish I could be at the quilt show, but alas, I live in North Dakota, USA. Would love to win your lovely little bundle though.
Yaaay on making the cover. You will know you have TOTALLY arrived when you make centerfold! Baaahahaha.
Wish I was coming to the show! Any chance you'll do Brissy next? Love the D!
Throwing sparkles in the air, hope they land in your booth!

Booth looks fantastic. You are READY! And a cover shot, too……musta been the luck in those green cons!
Ohhhh…I *wish* I could see your fabulous booth in person! And your fabulous self too, of course!
Congratulations looks like this is a awesome fair to be at
Molli, i wish you so much fun on your quilt fair. Enjoy every single moment of it! Unfortunately i won't make it. The journey from Germany is a little far… But nevertheless, i am there in spirit.
Your booth is giant! What a great idea to bright your suitcase as well 🙂 and you even have your sewing machine set up! whoa! Enjoy!
Ok how cool is it that you're a cover girl 🙂 thanks for sharing the love!
Chapeau, chapeau, well done!! And enjoy

Wow you get around! In a good way of course.
Congratulations on your exhibit! I only wish I could see it in person.
I have been a follower for a while now, I love your style. Watched you on breakfast tv all the way from Northumberland, UK.
Really love the big D.
Hope you have fun at the show.
Hope you had a fantabulous day! and don't aim for page 6, Molli is a page 3 girl or no page at all I think! Perhaps they could use your calendar shot!
Have a superbly wonderful time. Fat chance of me making a visit from the UK but I'm with you in glittery spirit!
I visited your stand today( Wednesday) and it was wonderful. A great and varied display of your work, hope to see you there next year!
Unfortunately Sydney is a bit too far away for me to make it… it's about 24hours by plane… wish I was though! Not sure of the significance of page 6? We have topless models in some tabloid papers, but they're page 3…
Congratulations on your 1st show and being in the newspaper. Love the shading and colors of your quilts in the display.
Always loved rainbow fabric, be wonderful to win some. Good luck! 24Tangent "at" gmail "dot" com
Your booth looks amazing, congratulations on the newspaper article.

I love the color in your booth! Thanks for the great giveaway and congratulations on all your artsy endeavors!
Have fun! How I wish I could see you and the magic suitcase at the show!
I'm so excited. I'll be there on Friday, coming from Auckland via Brisbane for the ballet last weekend and Townsville. What a way to round off my holiday.
The *Rock Star* of the quilt world! July 15 is my birthday, so a rainbow fat quarter bundle (with your autograph, of course) would be tres fabu! 🙂
I went to one of those in Hobart when I was a kid, and loved it! I'm sure this one will be amazing!

I want that suitcase!!!! Your booth looks amazing. Good luck to you!

Mollie, you must be so proud of your accomplishments over such a short period of time, and deservedly so. If I were your grandma, I'd be popping my buttons with pride! Your Festival space would grab anyone's attention because is's so bright, so colorful, so Sparkly! Enjoy yourself and take lots of pictures so you can share them with all of us who are not on Instagram. Hugs
Congratulations! I would love to come, but Australia is a bit far for my budget this year. The mickey quilt is awesome and looks very time consuming. What size are those blocks? 2 inch?
Congrats on making the paper!!! Looks like you will have alot of fun in the next few days:)
Your booth looks fab!!! Hope you have a blast and I can only imagine what's next in line for Mr. Cover Model 🙂
First time here- can't believe I never saw your blog before! I believe Mr. Sparkles and my husband might be sharing a brain- love those quotes! Congrats and enjoy the quilt fair!!!!

Molli, shake that Magic Suitcase around and send me some fat quarters actually touched by the famous Molli Sparkles! Your booth is, is, is Sparkly!
That's a great booth. Congratulations on making the cover too. What a fun time for you. Enjoy it! I won't be coming but if you ever do a show in the uk that would be great :)!
Ah! I am loving the magical red suitcase filled with fat quarters! 🙂

You make a marvelous Cover Boy! Won't be able to make the show, but my man and I will be visiting Sydney in September. Looking forward to it…
Wish I could make it but it's a long way from Northern California. Have fun!!
Your booth looks good, good luck at the show!
Love the look of your booth. I imagined a big sparkly throne for you to sit on though. Have lots of fun, enjoy every minute. Thankyou for bringing the fun back into quilting.

Thanks for the giveaway entry. Please forgive if I accidentally post this twice. 😉
TV, newspaper , guest quilter….. Wow! What's next? Congrats! Sorry I can't make it to the show. Have a great time.
Mine mine mine mine mine. Messygoat wants these. Yes. Feel free to fill up the envelope with glitter because Imma hafta have my tonsils out in two weeks and the sparkles might make for some fun hallucinations when that package gets here. I'm just saying.
Oh I'd be so happy to win! And if I lived anywhere near your side of the world (hello from Dallas, Texas), I'd be there in a second!
I'm on wordpress, so my email is komnumep@hotmail.com

I wish I were coming to the quilt show, but I'm in the UK so, sadly, no chance. Enjoy 😀
Wow!!! Your fabrics look fantastic, please, please, please pick me.
I'm going to the craft tomorrow – yeah
I saw that fabulous bundle on Instagram. It's so vibrant and gorgeous! Have a great weekend at the show.
Crystoll at aol dot com
I saw that gorgeous fabric on Instagram, love it. Fingers crossed I win.
I came to the show today and was lucky enough to meet you and talk about your quilts – thanks for the tips, meeting you was the highlight of the show for me! I was telling hubby all about you and your quilts tonight and his reaction was "What! A bloke who makes quilts?" I told him he would love you and you were just the kind of guy he would love to have over for dinner. His answer – "So when's he coming?" Any time
Oh Dianne! What a wonderful invitation! LOL! I am always hungry so I could definitely take you up on your offer. 🙂 You're a no-reply blogger, so I can't email you back, so I hope you see this!
Congrats on another amazing feature. I can't attend the show but I hope you are having an amazing time!
When the booth photo was taken it was probably the last time when it was not packed full of fans! Beautiful!
Love that bundle!!
I wish I could whiz up to Sydney and see the glittery magic but sadly not this year. I would love a bundle out of the magic suitcase – thanks for the chance to win.
So excited for you and your coverboy status! Keep on rockin', Sparkles! 🙂
Great job on making quilting popular with the public! Loved your TV interview. Wish I could visit Australia to see the show and stop by! Maybe next time.
Congrats on all of the good things happening for you lately!
Congratulations!! What an awesome achievement. Good luck on the quilt show, I WISH I could be there! And your booth looks amazing.

I WISH, I could go to the show, you will do awesome and I just love that traveling suitcase, yummy, yummy rainbow of color. Your booth looks great.
Congrats on the cover! What a fabulous suitcase of goodies. I was also drawn to your awesome green shoes! I love fun shoes!!
I would dearly love to attend – you seem like a lot of fun on your blog. Is Mr Sparkles with you to help lug home the 4 or 5 new suitcases of fabric you will be buying at the show? Congrats on the coverage.

I breezed in to your booth today to say hello but you were surrounded by adoring fans, so I slunk off unnoticed LOL. Would love an entry in the give away. Thanks
Absolutely fab to meet you on the 9th …. a breath of fresh in the crafting arena
Congrats on all your success, thanks for the inspiration, I met you, your quilts and fabulous shoes today 🙂
I found your blog through your Sew Mama Sew guest post, and have loved every post you've done. You are an inspiration to others, not only to start quilting, but to become better quilters as well.
Your work translates beautifully in the display space. The sign of a true professional.
Your quilts are just gorgeous!
I came here from Quite Play. I wish I could come to the show, but I am too far away. I really like the quilts shown in your booth.
You are a star! Continue to dazzle 'em!
great job…i would love to come but that would be a longgggggggggggggg flight.

Beautiful booth, and congratulations on making it into the paper! sarah@forrussia.org
Molli, it was an absolute delight to meet your sparkly self when my friends and I arrived bright and early at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair last Wednesday. Perhaps you recall us – three rather over-excited Di's and a Sue – lining up for our selfies? It was a perfect day – Sparkles in the morning then "sparkles" in a glass at the other end 🙂 Cheers @darlingdi
Your display at the quilt show was amazing, and prime position too. Every time i came by you were surrounded! It would be great to get an Aussie guys quilting bee going. Great blog too…
Gary
would love to win your giveaway. It would be my first quit and I it would be a jewel quilt .
Great booth and great spread in the paper. Page 3 pinup next time.
What a show! So inspired! I am stoked you recognised me & am so thankful for our chats today! I loved your talks… i hope I didn't seem like too much of a lurker around your stand today… just call me Glitterati! 😉
Count me in for that prize! 😄 I hope I'm not a no reply blogger! (I'm signed in to my Google account.)
I'd love to score this bundle (wow there are limitless puns here aren't there!)
Love your quilts!! So sad I cannot be there to see them in person 🙁
Hey Congrats on being a Cover Boy…awesome! And thanks for- a great giveaway!
Yaaaay so excited for you! Live it up! Get a tattoo to celebrate! (Maybe just a glittery temporary one – but still… Have fun!)
I would love to be going!!! Congrats on the show.
Sadly I live too far away to visit the quilt show. 🙁
Wish I could come and bask in your sparkly awesomeness, but alas, that day job just gets in the way… Oh yeah, and 10,500 odd miles ;o)
Congrats, the booth looked awesome! I was there on Friday 😛
I love that you store your fabric in a suitcase. How creative!
