Treasures from the Expo!
Oh, the fun...so much fun!! Left the house on time and even got my McD's biscuit...yummy! Met with my long time school friend, two of her daughters plus a mutual friend for the Original Sewing and Quilting Expo to shop and shop all day! We hugged, and spent a few minutes catching up, then we started the hunt for the perfect border for her pretty quilt! Funny thing when your hunting for the perfect fabric for someone else you find all kinds of fabrics you want to buy! We never found the perfect fabric for her but I did find a lot of goodies for me...a few cream fat quarters and a couple of perfect greens to make a copy of a quilt I gave to my son..a package of the batting tape I saw recently in a magazine...you can use it to piece together pieces of batting! I found two $4 quilting books...like I need more. Oh, and 1/2 yard of some batting to make pot holders with...a project I have been planning for a few years but keep forgetting to get the batting. We were all pooped out by 4:30 so we sat and talked till the big prize drawings at 5:15. I wish I had put a bogus name on my ticket...I think I would have a better chance at winning something! Still, I felt like the big winner for the day getting to spend several wonderful hours with such great friends!
