Annual Quilt Show!

I was supposed to go to California with the Vance sisters to attend the quilt show the third weekend in January, BUT... my washer broke (as you know) and I had to get that fixed that day.  So I missed the show in California.  But never fear, there is one here in Phoenix, always the last weekend in January.  I took off work on Friday afternoon and headed over by myself to see what was going on.

Here's a picture of the one row of booths.  I took a picture of a quilt and got scolded, so I didn't take anymore.  There were so many beautiful quilts - I wish I could have shared them with you here.

I was able to snap a photo of this woven neck scarf.  I just love the colors.
I went to the show with the intention of NOT buying anything, just look at things.  But of course, I brought home a few things:

 I bought potholder kits...

 Batting for future potholders...

(That's Sophie in the pink striped sweater.

She thinks she has to be involved in everything.)

A pattern for a bag with great pockets...

 A kit for "chalking" a quilt pattern onto fabric...

 Additional plastic quilt patterns (which I plan to use on placements)...

Antique round paper clips...

Packages of dip mixes...

By Coyote Country Seasoning Co., Inc. out of Pinetop.

I use these for seasoning meat in the crock pot, but as designed, 

they also make great dip - and there are a multitude to choose from.

You can see there were several booths that did not deal with quilting,

so I was able to pick up a little bit of everything.  

I really enjoyed my time walking through the exhibits.
