The spoils of my latest trip to the bins….

So it was hard to photograph these guys because they’re so faded but I think you get the idea.  I love how the colors totally go together.  I wonder if they were intended to be a set?  The yo-yos on the right are so yummy….

Oh yeah!  So my report back on the Northwest Quilting Expo.  A serious matter.  Here’s what I did:

  • Found my quilt!  Sorta sad they hung the smaller quilts so high up on the walls.  It was hard to appreciate some of the details on my quilt from the isle.  Oh well.
  • Looked at all of the AMAZING work for a long time and took the pictures you see in my last post.
  • Test drove some bitchin’ long arm quilting machines.  (Waaay out of my price range, but so much fun!)
  • Ate bad “bento” stuff and paid $3.50 for an iced tea.
  • Bought a new quilting ruler and some more Steam-A-Seam
  • Discovered the annual Hoffman Fabric Challenge.  This year’s traveling show of quilts, dolls and clothing made from the challenge fabric was fantastic.  It made me wonder if I like fabric dolls even more than I like quilts.  I mean, like, WOW!  You can see pictures of these decadent dollies down below.  See how they all use that same paisley print?  Yup, that’s the fabric challenge!

That’s about it.  First quilt show?  Rockin’.
