Bought a few panels (yea like I need more of those!), A kalidescope template, marking chalk, some charms, a really neat template for making leaves. Geez I don't use 90% of the items in my sewing room already...I had to vent somewhere...anyone else have a "spend foolish" story?
I was there Thursday & Sunday too. I bought a piece of fabric on Thursday. But Sunday I was BAD!!!! I bought templates that you use on the long arm to train your brain to make feathers, and other cool designs. I spent $90 in that booth, and I bought 2 books, one on Bargello, and one on appliqueeing large dogs. Now I do have large dogs, but I HATE doing applique. How dumb is that? I will just say that I saw the most amazing display of art quilts I have ever seen in my entire life. Those people must not have anything else to do but quilt. If someone locked me in my house and waited on me hand and foot I may be able to do one of those. Absolutely Amazing!!!!
