Quilt Festival Photos

Needless to say, I took far more photos than I can possibly post here. So, I've done my best to provide a variety of them. So, let's get started...

(Remember to click on the photo to enlarge it. Once its in your browser, click on it again and it will enlarge even more.)

These crazy quilts are from Sherrill Lewis' booth. She's is a really fun and interesting woman. She gave me a flyer for the Quintessential Crazy & Art Quilter's Gathering 2011, in Oklahoma City, in July. I'm toying with the idea of attending.






This display is for the 2010 Hoffman Challenge. The photos don't nearly do it justice.





I hope you enjoy the rest of the photos!






































Well, that's it. Enjoy the rest of your long weekend.

Until Next time...Happy Needling!!!

New Toys and Goodies

Last month Hancock Fabrics was having a sale on these laminators, so I ran over and got one. I just love it!!! I also picked up some extra laminating sleeves while I was at it. Last week I used it on a project, which I can't talk about just yet, but it worked like a dream! I highly recommend getting one of these little units if you (like me) are used to spending too much time and money running to the print shop.



These are a couple of the little tools that I picked up at the quilt festival last month. The first is a set of fabric turning tools. I can't wait to use them. Just think....no more ripped out seams trying to turn doll arms, and other tiny items. The second is a template for making perfect, non-bulky corners on projects ranging from napkins and placements to quilt bindings.



These are some of the trims that I picked up at the quilt festival. All five of them for $20! Each card contains several yards. I think the best buy is the navy blue Venice lace, though.



These little charms and buttons were a steal at only 10 cents each. I should have bought more of them.



I'm still trying to get my photos from the quilt festival organized so that I can get them posted. Well, better get back to it!


Until Next time...Happy Needling!!!

Ouch!

This might be one of the strangest things that's happened around here for a while.

You're looking at an impression on my patio door left by a dove that apparently flew into it during the night, or at least before I woke up. This is the best photo I could get with the sun reflecting off of the glass. With the naked eye you can see each layer of feathers, its eye and beak. Poor thing!

Never fear, I searched the yard high and low for an injured bird but found none.


Until Next time...Happy Needling!!!
