Fabric Fest Swag

In one of the emails from the coordinator for Fabric Fest,there was a hint about Swag...


Upon arriving and registering,each person received a bag like this,stuffed with goodies,brochures,magazines...


As well as all these sweet goodies!  At each meal/place on the tables there were decorative squares of paper and or fabric with sayings on them!  (three of mine are in the photo)


Tuesday morning my class was with Sue Daley,she taught us how to make hexagons. (1/2")  We cut the pieces,glued them to the papers,and then sewed them.  I am a slow hand sewer,and was only able to finish one flower during the class.



The afternoon class was Big Stitch,where we worked on pillows.  I will post photos when mine is finished.



Wednesday morning I took a class on using up scraps,this is the basket/box we made in class.  We sewed four 6 inch pieces together (I alternated the pieces) for the outside and four for the inside,then attached the bottom squares.  It turned out pretty cute!


The afternoon class I chose to take on Wednesday was Lori Holt's Candy Beads Quilt ! Using her circle rulers.  BTW sometime in the near future I will be giving away a set of these!


Here are the circles I was able to finish during class.  There are 60 circles total,so I need to make another 28,fourteen each of the medium and large size.


Lori Holt and me :))))  Standing in front of her finished Candy Beads Quilt.  Although you can not tell from the photo,the background color is a pale aqua.

Quilts from the Fashion Show Wednesday night:










These are not all of them,just the ones I was able to get a good photo of.  I did not get any of the clothing,because everyone walked so fast!

Pincushions & Rulers

In my last post,I mentioned a Anniversary gift should be arriving in my mail box soon...


Yesterday they were waiting patiently for me to come and get them!  Mr. P had been asking me almost daily,what do you want for an anniversary gift?  My response was,haven't decided yet...  until the day before when Lori Holt posted on her blog that her rulers where finally available!  Too bad that I have to wait to play with them :(  Not for too long though :0)


My good friend Melissa and I are in a swap group on FB,called Sew,Share,Swap,this quarter she got my name!  These beauties are what she made especially for me :0)  I still need to get back to the one I am working on should be working on for my swap person!  As soon as my project for this month is done...


Speaking of said project,as it is right now the measurements are about 53x57 I have been sewing together scraps of batting to get it finished.  I would like to add a border,but am not sure if I have enough scraps of batting left to do that!  Do you girls/guys think it would look okay with out one?  The LQS opens at noon tomorrow,so I could buy some more if need be,but I was trying to get by with out spending any more $ this month.  (because that would put me over my allowance for the month)
