The Fun Is Over

OK! The fun is over. Got home last night from a 2 day Paducah trip. It was wonderful. I did run into Virgina Walton creater of the "Creative Curves" rules and patterns. I had taken a class with her at least 4 years ago and did not get back to it quick enough and forgot the tricks to her technique. She was kind enough to give me a mini lesson, so I'm ready to give it a try again. Here is a picture of some of her patterns.

Then spent yesterday down at St. Charles, Mo. They had an Art Walk. It was very nice. It was a nice leisurely day after the hustle and bustle days of Paducah.

Hopefully I will now be inspired to really get in there and SEW, SEW, SEW.

Paducah Hot Spots

I'm going to Paducah with some friends again this year. I have been going for ???? (alot) of years now.
And it never fails I find out about great places that we missed AFTER we get home.
Please share your favorites.
Thanks

Woven Fabric Potholder

One of the guilds I belong to is having a

Potholder Swap.

I wanted to do something different.

So I did a

Woven Fabric Potholder.

I think it does look better in person.

It was alot of fun to do.

I can see more of these in my future.
