Phew! Jay's right. Step outside in sunny Portland right now and you'll be cooked alive in minutes. Better to stay inside and absorb all that's on offer at Spring Market. Here are a few pictures to give you a flavour of what's gone on in the past few days:

This is the Krause Publications booth, all set and ready before the show began. Authors are demonstrating here every hour on Friday and Saturday. A great chance to meet the experts and browse all the new books that are available. If you're not at the show, you can find information about new books at the MyCraftivity shops (UK and US).

Pam and Nicky Lintott were launching their new book Jelly Roll Quilts, and talked many quilt shop owners through the lovely projects in the book.

More about other events at the show soon!

All the best

Jane
