Fun and inspirational days

I survived Quilt Expo in Madison Wisconsin and I am back home and ready to get to work!!  Last Wednesday I drove over to my friend's house an hour north of Madison, stayed at her house overnight,  and then we went down to the show on Thursday morning.  Within an hour the show was really getting packed with people!  It was a fantastic show, so much to look at and get inspired by.

We chose to stay in Madison that night and go to the show 2 days.  I took 2 lectures on scrap quilting and one on modern quilts.  The modern quilt one was by Weeks Ringle, only when we got to the lecture her DH(Bill Kerr) was there.  Weeks had injured her shoulder the night before and couldn't be there. Bill mentioned he was the one that put the power point together, so we knew we would be in good hands and we were.  It was a very fun lecture.

Here we are all tuckered out after the two days.  Don't let my empty hands fool you-my goodies are in my SUV already!

I found a really good deal on Batiks at one of the booths(after I had already bought several from another vendor)  20 FQ's for $30.  And they were very nice quilt shop quality.  The first booth I hit was Bolines, found the rainbow bundle and a few 1/2 yard pieces there for more pumpkin wall hangings. Picked up the pineapple trim ruler from another vendor, a few pieces at Nancy's Notions booth.

I told my DH that I should leave home more often, I made another Etsy sale while I was gone!  And I had another this morning.  For a long time I have wanted for this to happen, so I am really stoked!  I better go get that ready to ship and put my goodies away so I can start planning out my week.  Out of country company arriving on Thursday for the weekend too.
