Fun New Patterns

The end of February I went to a quilt show being held locally. I love going to it because it inspires me to make things. And I bought some more patterns...and it inspired me to buy a few more...here are some of the gems I've purchased.

• The Potato Chip Bag just looks like it will be fun and easy.
• The Anna Maria Multi-Tasker Tote looks fun and useful.
• In the summer I live in a skirt and a nice top/tee so the Favorite Things Cute Skirt Pattern will get used a lot between now and then.
• See above for the too cute Stella Strip Skirt  and the Anna Maria Study Hall Skirt
• I haven't bought the Feather Your Nest  but it looks like it has some neat patterns for your bedroom so when I get to redecorating I'll look into that.

Creativity Striking

This weekend I went to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival XXI in my area. It was wonderful you could feel the creativity oozing from the place. As I walked around I wasn't the overwhelmed novice I was the first time I went but I was inspired. And relatively well behaved I bought a few fat quarters and three patterns. I love to sew purses, baby quilts, and on occasion clothes. I also love to bead. Ultimately my goal is to have a business where I sew things and bead things (possibly combined) and sell them for people to enjoy.

I really love mixing interesting color patterns together to make people go wow...I wouldn't have thought of that.

I'm following absorbing wonderful information from m.writes Blog & Business Workshop. Thank you Marta! I'm learning a lot. Please come on over there is a lot of great information. I think this is the sign I've been waiting for...
