We left at noon and decided get to our hotel until 6 p.m.--can you say Los Angeles traffic...
We passed this on the 210--not sure what it is--it didn't seem to be a bridge or an overpass. Can anyone from L.A. help us out?
Actually I took very few pictures at the show. There were some beautiful quilts and it was interesting to walk around. But as far as a show review, I don't have much for you. Elizabeth will be doing a really good review when she has time so I'd watch out for that.
Elizabeth--me (we couldn't get Deborah to pose but she was happy to snap photos)
This is what I have to show for a couple of days of walking around--
The back of a quilt:
The quilter used a great selvage as the center divider:This was probably my favorite quilt. Exquisite! Why it didn't even get an honorable mention is beyond me. I can never figure out quilt judging...
There was a special exhibit--a series of Route 66-themed quilts:
And you could have your picture taken on the Harley--who could resist that?
Deborah did NOT take this picture--otherwise it wouldn't have been blurred...
And just in case you still weren't quite sure if you were in the right place...
And that's it for the quilt show. I'd show you what I purchased, but you would be underwhelmed: a couple of pillowcase kits and two yards of Oregon Ducks fabric...Oh, and there may be some fabric on its way to me from the Cherrywood booth. Their Che'fab fabric is pretty amazing. And of course Mark
But that's not the end of random yet today...
If you have some fabric that you aren't sure what to do with, here's an idea. Get yourself some Mod Podge and ...
Yeah, I don't know what else to say about that either...
This was waiting for me when I arrived home--a super duper bag knitted from plastic bags. Thanks, Jessie! She has some for sale in her etsy shop!
And the new hard case for my iPhone (ordered from Gelaskins--with a picture of my charity donation quilt from last year):
A friend used the picture of my blog bee hop from last week:
as inspiration for a birthday card for her granddaughter. Isn't that cool? Thanks, Lynette--you are so creative!
And I think this picture, one of my favorites ever, is destined to be reinterpreted in fabric as a mini quilt for my sewing room.
Thanks, Miss C!
Are you having time finding time to sew this week? Well in that case...follow this advice:
