Heading to the Quilt Show in Rockport Texas

Tomorrow I am heading to the Quilt Show in Rockport Texas http://www.piecemakersbythebay.org/.

Two long years and it is finally here.  One of my favorite shows next to the Houston International Quilt Show.  I was hook after my first show back in 2009!

I am making out my list of items to watch out for at the show and charging up my camera.  This is one of the few shows that allow you to photograph.  I hope to take plenty of photos. 

Sorry it has been awhile.  Hope to post photos soon. 

Everyone have a wonderful weekend!

See ya,

Judith

In search of material!

Today I spent much of my time looking for material that I had purchase sometime ago.  I did not log it in my record book or where I had purchase the material from.  Not a smart move on my part.  Instead I ended up buying 6 yards of material totally different from what I was searching for.  My outlook totally changed.

I made a Carpet Bag from quilted material I purchased from Handcock in Katy, Texas. 3 yard @ $3.00. Great buy! The pattern I purchased from Golden Needles & Quilts in Rockport, Texas. By Leslie Gladman from Favorite Things.



 I made a Pocket bag, (sorry no picture taken)

 camera case, (not sure which magazine, but I will look for it later and post it here)




which ended up as a bag to hold all my cables to iPhone, Blackberry, speakers.  Also a PDA case, etc.  I am not done yet.  Still have material to sew a small coin purse and etc., to match my bags.  I just loved the print.  Reminded me of my trip to France.

I wanted to sew another Carpet Bag with the material I was in search of.  I made a tote bag and a jewerly case, but did not have enough material to sew.  Anyway, I have unfininsh projects waiting for me when I get home tomorrow. 

Also, this year I joined a Victoria Photography Club to pick up tips and tricks to photograph my bags I sew.  Will see how that goes....Thanks for stopping.
