Quilt Goodies

Today I have lots of pictures to show you. Yesterday after the BOM group I went to check out a new quilt shop and needlepoint store. I don't do needlepoint but I like to see what kind of thread they carry.  The quilt shop is called Karen Gray Design.  She sells many handmade items that she personally makes. You can check out the inside of both of these stores on Bear Hugs All Around. She remembered her camera. Simply Needlepoint is another store with fabulous threads.

 The fabric in the foreground I got from Karen's which I am going to use in a project from Elefantz's blog. She is doing a BOM called Shabby Roses. I will not use the fabric with the mermaids, that is for my daughter who loves all things ocean. The white looking fabric which I got from another shop will be used for the background in this project. It has tiny turquoise flowers on it.  The thread is from the new store called Simply Needlepoint. It is made from bamboo. I thought I would try it out.

At the quilt show this past weekend I bought this jar that was stuffed full of fabric and the little black heart shape pincushion.  It has a tag with the name and date of the show. A souvenir of sorts.

Here is what was in the jar. Some nice size pieces of fabric, scraps, and selvages. I think I got a pretty good deal for $7.00. I love the colors. I left everything out but the selvages and now it is just full of selvages I have been saving.
There was also a vendor selling wool and this is what I bought.
She also was selling this cute little rug hooked cardinal which I bought.  You know me and my birds.
At the last guild meeting there was also a chicken challenge. So I thought I would share the ideas that some of the ladies had. This first one is mine.


This is a postcard.

This is some punchneedle and it was about the size of the postcard.
I have my applique bee tomorrow so I won't be back with a post until Friday.
