Default OK, you asked for it

Here is a list of what I found.

Ahem.

3 books from Liberty Homestead www.libertyhomestead.com and 4 packets of
their hand-dyed sueded cotton. 4 colors in each packet 1/2 yard of each.

3 Attic Heirlooms stitchery pattern kits. www.attic-heirlooms.com

1 Baby Bib pattern from Little Country Quilts plus 3 of the fabric kits to
go with it from Vogies. www.vogies.com

The pattern for those Quilt as you Sew table runners from Out of the Blue.
www.outofthebluequilts.com plus 2 fabric kits to make the runners. (They
make a really neat purse pattern that is made the same way, but I didn't see
it till I was paying and the line was long.

1/2 yard of most and fat 1/4's of the rest of the Peppermint and Holly
Berries fabric. Plus the buttons AND some of the towels.

A really cool little pattern for something called a Fabric Pot. It's a Just
Jennifer pattern, www.justjennifer.com but this pattern is not listed on
the website yet. It's just this little fabric cup that you can take to
class and put threads and stuff in it. It's made with 2 strips of
sandwiched fabric (with fleece) that you sew together so it has enough body
to sit up, yet you can squish it in anywhere. It came with the fabric and
the fleece. Pretty cool.

The Magic of Crazy Quilting. GREAT book! PLUS I bought beads and buttons
and lace and silk and satin and wool scraps for crazy quilting.

4 Stitchery patterns from Thimble Creek Creations.
www.thimblecreekcreations.com

3 darling little sacks with civil war fat 1/4's for Dear Jane (BTW, there
was a Dear Jane and a Dear Hannah quilt hanging at the show. They were
beautiful.

There was a woodworking guy there and besides the quilt racks and little
quilt coffins that he makes, he had these turned handle tools. I bought a
beautiful seam ripper made out of curly maple, and a little wheelie thing
that flattens seams! The roller is about 1/2" wide and you just roller it
along the seam and you don't have to press it! I have a little wooden stick
thing that I bought for that, but it always pulled the material out of whack
so I quit using it. This works really slick. I forgot to find out what
kind of wood the handle was made of.

A cute chenille jacket, a baby quilt kit with minkie, flannel and cotton
fabrics, OH! they had these handmade baskets from Ghana that were gorgeous.
I got a big one and a little one. They also had some ethnic fabric that was
so pretty, but I couldn't think of a use. Sorry, Susan, I wish I'd a known.

I'm telling ya, I made 3 trips to the bag check area. If I saw 2 things I
liked and couldn't decide, I bought both of them.

This is in addition to the "help" I gave my friends in their purchases.

I'm tired.
