On Friday, my sister-in-law, Jody, and I went to the Quilt Expo in Duluth, Georgia. We were a little disappointed with the show because we thought there would be more fabric vendors there. Also, they did not allow you to take pictures inside the building So, while there were some very lovely quilts that inspired me to no end, I have no pictures of them to keep me inspired. Way to go, Quilt Expo!
There were lots of vendors there, selling everything imaginable for sewing, from sewing machines to pins and needles to cutting mats to trims and sequins, but not much in the way of fabric. There was even someone there selling shoes. SHOES! I was a little perplexed by that one.
Even though the fabric vendors were lacking, that didn’t stop me from buying as much as I could from the ones who were there. See:
Out of everything I bought, I think I love this Sew Serendipity Bags pattern book by Kay Whitt the best. I also bought fabric to make one of the ruffled purses shown on the cover of the book. I can hardly wait to sew it up!

Those girly ones are so adorable! I’ve been looking for something similar for my daughter, she keeps asking my grandma for a ‘made blanket’ for her bed LOL
I cant wait to see what you do with all of these 🙂
Gaelyn says
Good thing you now have a home to store some of your fabric. All very pretty and the bag pattern looks fun.
Jody says
It was fun despite the drawbacks. Can’t wait to see your ruffle bag.
Susan says
I love the Sew Serendipity Bag – the bag on the cover. I even like the colors of it. I also like the fabric mix you display with the catalog. I would be very interested in a bag like this. Can you show me more pics of that ruffle bag on the cover and/or the dimensions? Are you making one for yourself?
