This weekend is Loose Threads Quilt Show in St. Peters, MO. I spent the whole day at the show contributing to the vendors and helping the economy recover more quickly. Thank goodness I was volunteering as a "white glove" helper answering questions and showing backsides of quilts, which kept me away from the vendors for a few hours. There were some great new out-of-state vendors plus many of our great local shops and businesses represented. It was difficult to pass up fabric that was priced right and so beautifully displayed. I did find a few fabrics needed for the sashing and border on
Joan's star blocks I recently received. I'm going back tomorrow to work and might find more "have to have" fabrics -- you know just fabrics needed to finish up some of my many UFO's, right?

I'm not looking forward to my stash report tomorrow. Maybe I'll send my report before I go to the show, then what I bring home won't count for a whole week. Maybe I can use it quickly and it will go right back out!! Whew!, I feel much better. I'll take my camera and try to get a few shots of the winners.
You've picked some great fabrics so far. I just love to shop the vendors.
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics look perfect for the start quilt. Can't wait to see it all put together!
