Quilt Show Recovery Time


Look what I got to bring home from our guilds Quilt Show this weekend!  Yes that is our Bargello Raffle quilt that I have been blogging about for the past year.  I still can't believe I drew my sister's name as the winner....seriously what are the chances of that happening?  I bought her 10 tickets for her birthday present so "Happy Birthday Betty"!   I just had to borrow it to take a little nap as I was quite tired by the time I got home after 3 days of fun and shopping :)

I will share pictures of the show soon but thought I would start with what I bought.  Mami's Country Quilts is going to teach a workshop at our guild in the fall and we decided on Island Sunrise at the project.  I bought my pattern and fabrics with Michele's help. I asked her for navy, brown and purple and she did a fabulous job  picking the fabrics and I only substituted a few to get some of my favorite batiks in there :)
 We hope to have a date booked for the workshop by the next meeting so guild members can sign up for the class, decide on their colors and order their kits from Mami's.  


Then I bought these goodies at Prairie Chicks!  I had borrowed Scrap Basket Sensations from a friend to make my Twinkle quilt and thought I better just get my own as there were so many great patterns in that book that I want to make.  I also picked up her other book too....plus a Bali pop and super cute Cupcake fabric  fat quarter bundle.


 I think I'm ready for another nap...now where is that Bargello quilt?  :)

  3. The quilt looks so great! Yummy stuff you brought home :-) Looking forward to see what your next Scrap-basket quilt will be :-) I'm making the Mocha Swirl, and the Kitchen sink, and hope to finish those when time slows down a bit. Got to prepare confirmation for my two youngest in May,so I'll be busy with that instead of sewing now. But after 12.th of May... I'll go live in my sewing room :-)
