Quilting Goodies

Can you shop
in the Spring
and not buy some
bunnies?

These are pre-cut shapes
already fused
from Lancaster Traditional Quilts booth at the Int Quilt Fest
Photo above was from
their display ....

Flower Purse
Pieceful Designs
I hope I can sew this simple purse!
I really liked the shop models.

In the background, you can see the fabric
I bought from the Vogue Fabric booth
AND
the 18" Hobbs samples
I picked out

We had such a good
time strolling the
aisles & viewing
EVERYTHING at the vendor
booths

PieceWork

PieceWork's 3rd Annual Lace Issue

I cannot wait for the next issue ....

Buddy

This dog makes me laugh
It is sunny, windy & 40 some degrees

so, he sits down in the wet grass & looks at me : )

Valdani

These are some purchases
I made at the Int Quilt Fest

We saw some lovely tatting made
from Valdani pc#12

I looked at every booth and
found these two colors

M63 and M20

I will have to give this brand a tatting try -
and if it isn't a good fiber to tat with,
I already know it is a dream
for punchneedle!
