What quilt show is complete without a few purchases here and there?!? With over 300 vendors, there were lots and lots of temptations.

| Purchases for Fun New Projects: Patterns, Stencils, Threads and Needles! |

| A little Fabric therapy--including some gorgeous Cherrywood Fabric!! |
Wednesday night was Preview Night at PIQF, open only to workshop attendees. It was a real treat to have entire booths to yourself for stress-free shopping. After checking out some quilts, I made sure to set aside some time to visit the Cherrywood booth who was offering a 10% discount Wednesday night only. I also popped by Superior Threads to load up on some fun new threads and needles. And of course over the next few days, I picked up some fabric, books, a few patterns and stencils to get a jump start on some fun new projects for 2015.
The most exciting purchase was a new carrier case for my travelling sewing machine. For the past 4 years, I've been managing with a simple Harbor Freight tool bag that I picked up for a bargain price of $35. But this past year, it has been showing some signs of wear and tear and I was afraid my machine wasn't as safe stowed inside. So it was time to upgrade and I had been checking out the Tutto bags for some time now. So I picked up a travelling bag for my machine as well as a matching bag to transport my projects, fabric, tools etc to my classes and workshops. I had so much fun loading the Brother machine into its bright teal Tutto bag and discovering all the fun features and storage pockets. I can't wait to arrive in style (and have everything well-organized) for my next workshop!
