Yesterday was just pure fun. Went with friends and my son in law to the quilt show, Road to California. 
Busy people all over the place as well as quilts, quilts quilts.
One of the best things about these shows is the market place, and yes I did some damage.
The booths are as wonderful as the show, here is a Metro Medallion quilt by the Sew Kind of Wonderful sisters. I love their curved ruler and it’s always fun seeing the quilts out in the wild.
The absolutely amazing Japanese fabric will become a shirt for me. I couldn’t get over how beautiful this print is.
I bought other fabric, no the foxes don’t fit in with the color way, but then again, maybe they are what is just needed to pop the blues and yellows. Of course I have no idea if this will become a quilt or a bag.
Speaking of bags, yes, I have bags on my mind, I bought the book as well as two patterns. Since discovering Soft and Stable by Annie, I am loving making bags. Annie herself was manning the booth, what a lovely lady. I also bought some more Olfa tools.
If you are noticing a pattern that looks similar to the weekender bag, yup, I like the size and shape. Do not like the bag itself. I took it for a trial run to the show. I think I have mentioned that it is very heavy even empty. It didn’t hold up.
The straps tore off with the weight, so I came home and used embroidery floss to fix them. So no, this bag isn’t going to Quiltcon with me. I had fun making it, it will get some use here and there, but on the whole – no this wasn’t a win.
So what about the quilts themselves??? Tomorrow I go and help pack and ship the quilts back to their owners, I hope to have some pictures as well as a fun story to tell.
