I had a fun weekend meeting my great nephew and seeing the other relatives. My SIL, my daughter and myself made it to the Expo. It's been years since I've been and it didn't disappoint!
I would never do a quilt like this but I can sure appreciate it.
I picked up a few things. I've been wanting to try out some of this thread from Superior for machine quilting and picked up some great scissors made by Kai. (no reason to not have two good fabric scissors!)
Here's a great older fabric by Pilgrim and Roy. 1 yd for $5!
I also saw a great display of Liz's Sunflower Fields Quilt Patterns. I love seeing my blogging friends succeed!
Isn't that adorable?
I saw Mary Fons promoting her Small Wonders fabric. I just did a giveaway of the little quilt I made to help spread the word about her adorable fabrics. It was fun to introduce myself and meet her.
And look who came to live with us this weekend! Please meet 4 month old Elsa. She was brought in to our Vet's office with an injury on her back, saying she was a stray. Because we have Porter (part shepherd) they called us to see if we may be interested in adopting her. We are taking it slow getting the two dogs together. My husband is glad I'm home tonight! LOL
Oh gee, I thought work was cutting into my sewing time! HAHAHA
Happy Monday!
Ohhh! A new pup, how wonderful. I'm sure Porter will show her the ropes! I love the quilt show. And I am so green over your Pilgrim Roy find! That was one of my favorite lines. I still have a tiny piece of each (I think). I don't know why, but those neons really get me. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the newest addition to your family! Elsa is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun visiting Sew Expo through you lens. Whenever it is on our side of tbe country, it always conflicts with my schedule. Maybe this year...
I love my KAI scissors! Picked them up in Paducah last year. Planning on picking up another pair this year! I recognized a couple quilts by Timeless Traditions. Her designs are so warm!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute puppy. Have fun! Love all the goodies you snagged from the show. I went to the AQS show in Daytona Beach on Thursday and really enjoyed it. So much variety and inspiration. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteLittle Elsa is gorgeous and will add so much to your family! Once Porter has accepted her, she will be a wonderful companion and playmate for him. Congrats!

I only ever went once to a sewing expo. There was very little quilt related and I did not find it very interesting. Sure an improvement over the years from what I see in your blog post.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time
ReplyDeleteElsa is a beautiful dog and lucky to be with you! What a fun weekend too!
ReplyDeleteElsa is adorable, I love her wonky puppy ears. I do hope the 2 dogs get on and she will have her forever home with you.
ReplyDeleteOMG so much eye candy! I love those top two quilts and that carry bag wow, what a gorgeous quilt design on it!! Ohhh and i love the fabric you found, it's so yummy! But most of all i love that sweet little pillow with the cute little woolly house design & stitchery!
ReplyDeleteHow fun meeting Mary Fons.. love her churn dash quilt in her yummy fabrics!
Elsa is adorable, and a handful i bet.. i'm sure Porter will sort her out lol!!
Puppy!!!! Elsa looks like a sweetie!! Yes, she may cut into quilting time, haha! I've never been to Expo, but loved the glimpse into it. Looks like you found some lovely vendors.
