My New Book and Quilt Show Vendors

Look what I have…

Uncommonly Corduroy

by Stephanie Dunphy

Now don’t be jealous…you can possibly win your very own copy, well the ebook version anyway.  Go to Stephanie’s at Loft Creations and follow her links to all the wonderful bloggers offering you a chance to win this treasure.  Each of those quilters tested patterns for Stephanie and they are known as her Supremes.  I follow most of them and can tell you, they are fantastic!  You can bet that the patterns in this book are perfect!  Don't let the name fool you...Stephanie's patterns aren't just for corduroy, you can use your favorite quilter's cotton too.

I’ve read this book cover-to-cover twice, three a few times and have already chosen two bags that I will make.  I won’t get started on the quilts…yet J 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In my last post, just over TWO weeks ago, I mentioned a quilt

show.  This is a small show that our local quilt guild hosts every other year.  The guild name is Port Saint Lucie Crazy Quilters…I know a couple of them and can see where they get their name J  (because they are Crazy Fun!!)

Since we always seem to take a gazillion (is that even a real word?) pictures, I split my recap into two posts.  Today I’ll share photos of a few vendor booths and later I’ll show you some of the amazing quilts our locals created.

I’ll start with my two favorite Sweethearts…

 
Laura 

Dave

They own Laura’s Sewing in Port Saint Lucie and in North Palm Beach.  Dave and Laura are our local Brother dealer…now you know why I love them.  I purchased my Quattro 3 from them back in December and they have been wonderful with their unlimited training, not only on how to use all of the machine’s features but also how to care for the machine.
