Spencer-Penn Show

OK, The Spencer-Penn craft show yesterday was fun, but not so profitable.  First of all it began to rain as soon as we were set up and we were all a little damp around the edges.  Now all my fabric crafts and the wood as well will have to be unpacked from the trailer and dried.  Second, the sales were not that great.  And even after the rain, traffic was nowhere near what it needed to be.  On the other hand it's always a lot of fun working with Phyllis Warren and we always enjoy ourselves no matter what.  And meeting new and familiar friends is so interesting.  Also, we got invitations out for the Open House.  That's a good thing! And Third, I spent more than I made on antiques!  I also bought a beautiful shrug from my good friend, Lois.  She is such an accomplished knitter.
Anyways,  here are a couple of pix of SOME of the things I've been working on.

Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day!

bitty bags

Today I made a bunch of Bitty Bags(as in Itty Bitty).  These little purses are my own design and I love them for quick trips to the store, shopping, and festivals. 

They are only 8"x8" and are the perfect size for carrying credit cards and cash, sunglasses,& keys.

The over the shoulder straps on these are great for hands free shopping and security.  They have a velcro fastener with a button
embellishment.

Constructed from upholstery fabrics in a variety of fall colors.  (Thanks Livi for the beautiful fabrics.)  Sturdy and lots of fun to carry.

Topstitch detail and fully lined. These have proved to be very popular and I am selling them for $12.00 each.  Shipping on this item is free, so if you'd like to own one of these darling purses, Email me      Pat Guilliams

What I'm Working On

This week I have finished these two purses.  They are sold, but I have lots more fabric and can make more. I just love the black and white.

I have also been working on a new quilt.  Last week I put together the dahlias with a dresden plate pattern.

Here is the finisihed motif.

And here is the finished appliqued block.  One down, 19 to go. This is going to be a big one!

The final project to work on this week is a quilt top that I am quilting for my good friend Patty. It's in the quilt frame and ready to work on. 

Hope everyone has a blessed and happy week.

Steppin' Out 2011

I had an awesome time this weekend.  Best show I have done this year!  I have a rock star daughter who helped me both days.  Without her it would have been impossible for me. I don't think I could have done it alone. 
Although it was very warm, there was a load of people coming through.  We were in Market Square Park with other new vendors to the show and the children's activities were there as well, so it was a pretty busy spot.  Especially on Sat. 
Thanks to all who stopped by and thank you for your support and interest in my work.
This week I hope to spend some time updating my blog, but today I think I'll try to rest.

Maroon and Orange

Busily creating Virginia tech colored items for Steppin' Out 2011.  Aug. 5-6 from 10am-10pm both days.
My newest item is this little teddy. I love him and hope that VT fans do too!

Also I have my old standby snowman recycled light bulb ornaments. And these new quilted ornaments in VT colors.

I have been making neck cooler ties and checkbook covers and jewelry bags and business card holders--All in Maroon and Orange.  Hope these are good sellers in Blacksburg next week.
Come on out and see us.  Our booth is located at the corner of Roanoke St. and Draper Road, next to the farmers market. 

Please help me pray for sales and a blessed day to all!
