I have no idea where to start on all of this, but the first thing is that I was at the Creative Festival all weekend and boy am I tired! It was SO fun, but also very tiring (how do folks do this all the time?)
The lovely and talented Helen Gibb was there with her silk ribbon (yes, I bought quite a bit!) and her DVD is fabulous! It’s only $39,99 and frankly it’s a total steal…there are 24 lessons (yes, I said 24 lessons on it)….if you have taken her classes or seen her on Carol Duvall on HGTV you’ll know that’s a total bargain! She’s also a lovely Australian lady, so we chatted about Australia for a bit (she was proud of me for nabbing an Ozzie boy).
Our Rocky Mountain Crazy Quilting group handed out pamphlets and got 3 whole pages of interested new members. We are having a beginners class in March and it looks like it will be well attended.
Our big news is that we released (with much work and insanity on my part over the last week) a calendar of all of our member’s work! It’s late (yes, I know we’re already a month into the year) because it’s our first time. We had photos taken professionally and had to rush to get it out for this show.
We’re hoping to at least sell a few to help us offset our year’s club costs because Judith Baker Montano (who lives here in Colorado) has agreed to do a special class for our group at the end of August!
This is what I worked on the whole time (I had about 3 hours to myself), I’m back to working on my fairy from the FairyGoddess Mothers. It’s a neat group and I started the quilt a LONG time ago.
This is what I’m working on now: the column is made out of the arm of an old glove….I want the entire thing to be covered in flowers and spill out over onto the border (which is a crazy quilt border), so I have a LOT of flowers to go. At the very bottom is the beginning of a spider web. I forgot how much I enjoy this quilt.
In other non-Crazy Quilting news from the show I also bought a pattern from Carol’s Zoo…I have a bunch of baby gifts to make and her animals are adorable and frankly look really easy to put together (we’ll see!).
Wow! I totally feel famous! Happy Valentines on Flickr – Photo Sharing! I signed my Flickr photos up for the creative commons license…which means as long as I get credit folks can use my images and I have to say I’m flattered! To be a Valentine, cool, eh?
