This morning my friend Pat and I were able to attend the Wildflower Harvest Quilt Show which we learned about from Marjorie’s blog. There is still time…the show will be open on Sunday from 10 until 4 in Valparaiso, Indiana. It was a lovely quilt show. Lots of artistic quilts and many exciting vendors were there. One of my favorite booths was Pat Winters Gatherings. I read her blog every day and have a link on my blog to hers. I bought the most luscious hand-dyed ribbons from her and also a packet of beads to make a dragonfly. She generously included for me a spider thread and bead kit and a silk for my crazy quilting. Her booth was beautiful…so colorful with her crazy quilted purses and all of her hand-dyed ribbons. How inspiring and such fun to look at!! And there were plenty of people to share my enthusiasm. So if you have time and live nearby…please stop by to see her. She is as lovely in person as she is in writing her blog.
Here is a crazy quilt block that I began a while ago and have not completed…ahhhhh, another Work In Progress (WIP).
But I think I’ll save my new acquisitions for a brand new block.
Also want to mention that this weekend is the Sewing Exposition at Pheasant Run in St. Charles, IL. It has a lot of wonderful vendors as well.

Love the quilt block and look forward to seeing how you finish it. Can’t wait to see the spider and dragon fly, they’ll be a lovely addition to something

What fun to be at a show with Pat! Wish I could go. I have tons of her ribbon and still never get enough. =)
Your block is a great garden already. There’s not all that much that *has* to be done, unless you are one who loves every inch covered.

The ribbons look so beautiful on the angel and butterfly it seems a pity to take them off to use them!
