VENDING

NORTHERN LIGHTS QUILT SHOW

Hanover, NH

 

What a great time I had, vending my hand dyed fabrics, this past weekend.

 

My guild really puts on one hell of a quilt show. The creative energy from this group is contagious.

 

I always come home jazzed up to try new things.

 

 

Here's my booth - there's only so much you can do under the basketball hoop

 at the end of the school gym!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PADUCAH ( title to be read outloud in the "Oprah Favorite things voice" PAHHHH DOOO CAHHHHH !!!

 Wow what a crazy whirlwind week I've had - It's hard to believe that last Sat. I was still in Paducah. This was NH when I left & since then I have seen every weather condition you can think of -

                                                                                                                                                              

from the warmth of Atlanta - to the wild weather that is wreaking havoc across the south right now. While in Paducah KY, we had lots of rain & flooding, high winds, lightning, thunder and tornadoes raging all around us. And through it all the amazing people from AQS & the city of Paducah pulled off the most incredible quilt show I have ever experienced.

I stayed on a houseboat at The Kentucky Dam with my sister & a fun bunch of her quilting friends ( Hi Laurie, Jess, Jeanette, Karen, Lois & Ellen - who made us laugh til we cried - can't tell you THE story - we've been sworn to secrecy!)  

The Lap Of Luxury

Notice the dock on the day we arrived - now on the day we left  



Fishing on the playground- that's the swing set in the background

   


And on the tennis court.

to be continued....... the computer is moving incredibly slow & I have tons of stuff to do today.

Northern Lights Quilt Show

This past weekend I was a vendor at the Northern Lights quilt show. It was amazing - I had so much fun. I saw lots of old friends & met so many great people.

 

 A few pics of some of my fabrics - they look so much brighter in person.

My hand printed leaves are always a big seller so I've been replenishing my stash this week.

I also did a demo of my stamping & printing techniques. I use lots of recycled and repurposed objects in my stamping. As I was printing these leaves I stopped for a break & discovered a new repurposed stamp - my yogurt container.

Call the Hoarders show now & stop me from SAVING EVERYTHING.

I also bought a few Shiva paint sticks & embossing plates from my vending neighbor at the show. I've been wanting to play with them for a while. Very cool  - but very messy - need to do more experimenting.

Renewal -Yup I'm Back

Spring is here (well almost) - time for some fresh new fabrics. I love getting back in my dye studio again. I'm going to be vending at the Northern Lights Quilt Show in April  www.nlqg.org so I've been adding to my already huge stash. Today is a perfect day to whip up a batch of  bright yummy colors. Maybe I'll do some snow dyeing too before it's all melted.
