My Trip to the International Quilt Show

If you never been to the International Quilt Show in Houston Texas you are missing out. I've been to this show now at least 10 times. It's every year the first week of Nov and talk about spectacular! Here are some of the items I purchased at the show (didn't pull out everything). I was there this past Thursday and Friday and took along my two sisters and my sister-in-law. Had a blast! Not only do they have some beautiful quilts from all over the world, but they must have hundreds of vendors with some really nice things. I navigated to the wool, as you can see. So much to see that it definitely would take you at least 2-3 days. Love that show!

Here are a couple of Santas that I worked on Sat. Until next time - happy sewing!

Just Two Weeks Until!

Yes, just two weeks until the show! And just about now I'm asking myself "Do I have enough for a full week?" Just a little stressing time here. This particular craft show runs for a full week. But it's a wonderful show in downtown San Antonio Texas in a historical mansion. The mansion is beautiful with the original wood floors and it has eight fireplaces. The Wolfson family had it built about 120 years ago and it now belongs to the First Baptist Church Downtown San Antonio. It really is gran and I'll make sure and take pictures. Posted are two wreaths I made this weekend. Patterns are from the very talented Sandy from The Olde Country Cupboard.

Well I'm off to join my daughter and granddaughter for dinner and then do a little Trick and Treating with Cadie around the neighborhood. Us girls are solo since my husband, son and son-in-law are at Arlington TX to see the Rangers play at the World Series. Happy Halloween and stay safe!

It's Wool Again!

Have I mentioned before how much I love working with wool? I probably have in one of my past post. Well, gotta tell you again - I love working with wool! Besides all the rich colors you can get - my friends, it is easy to work with especially when it comes to appliqueing. And there are so many wonderful patterns out there, like this angel pattern I purchased from Little Stitches. This pattern is for the wool table runner, but I did some individual small angel pillows that you can set in a bowl, hang on a door knob or use as a Christmas ornament for your tree. So simple and fun! You all should try it - you'll love it!

Christmas Dolls

I've been busy this weekend working some Christmas dolls for my upcoming show. Patterns I'm using are from Threadbare Primitives and Sweet Meadow Farms. I've just added candy canes and a snowman to them.

A few santas and snowmen are ready, which I'll post later. My husband has my display center all set up. We normally do this a few weeks before the show to make sure it will look like I want it. As soon as I fill that up I'll post a picture.

Gotta get back to work. Until later - All is Bright!
