Sew Expo Shopping

I told you that I had gone to Sew Expo this last week.
Well, here are the goodies I came away with.

I got these to play with when I do my postcard exchanges or fabric dyeing.
The next two pics are some new Day of the Dead fabric I couldn't pass up.

This next one reminds me of Edgar Allen Poe.

The batiks came from the Quilt in a Day booth. The jelly rolls were 40% off and yardage was $8.00 a yard.

These 3 fat quarters were just because.

.

 

I have been saying I needed to make me a smaller purse and I found these 2 patterns to try out.

 

 

The kitties were just another because. Although I may have a project for them.

 

 

The book had some interesting things.

 

Well that was my shopping spree at Expo. I guess I'd better behave for a while.

 

Til later,

This quilt top was given to me for my Dr.'s office. I just need to quilt it and bind it. Hoping I can get to it shortly in between client quilts.
Check out what everyone is doing here.

Tuesday-2 mile walk, quilted a client quilt. attached binding to Costa Maya.
Wednesday-2 mile walk, quilted another client quilt, loaded and started another client quilt.
Thursday-2 mile walk, finished client quilt and loaded another. Also went with DH to purchase new BBQ. Our other has given up the ghost.
Friday-at Sew Expo and then went in the evening to a LQS for their Friday Night Sew Social.
Saturday-taught the last session of Beginning Quilting at LQS.
Sunday-cut out a second Costa Maya so I can make the step outs for class. Finished Section 2 from Clue 2 on a Mystery Quilt at LQS. Started cutting out Clue 3 on MQ. Also worked on sample for Marti & Me until I realized I didn't have enough pieces cut and didn't have the fabric to cut them.
Here's the fabric I'm making the second Costa Maya from.
