On Saturday I was wondering around town looking for some small kit to stitch on, something that I could throw in my purse and work on wherever. I went to Michael's and didn't find a thing that would suit me. I was thinking Hardanger, but was willing to deal with most anything that had some specialty stitching or something....Came away empty handed. And depressed.
On Sunday I went to a quilt and needlework show. I've never been to one before, so I wasn't sure what to expect at this particular show. I thought there might be some vendors, but I wasn't interested in that...I just wanted to see the quilts after all!
Oh my! The quilts were beautiful, and I showed my MIL (who's an artist) that I know a thing or two about quilts and needlework (which she doesn't do too much with) and that made me feel good. There was needlework there that was positively exquisite (I'm taking a magnifier next time! Some of that stuff was on like 40ct over 1!!!!). And there were even a few demonstrators there!
And, there were vendors. I was very good. I didn't buy any fabric (my DH was VERY happy about that) and I didn't find the needlework "hot spot" (where I drooled and wanted it all) until nearly the end of our visit. But I did find a vendor who had some small things and I quickly fell in love with one!
So, here we are to my addiction. This is my second Sweetheart Tree little kit. I bought one from my LNS when I lived in NY and liked it. So when I saw this one on Sunday, I grabbed it as fast as I could! Then I went to their website, and decided that there are at last half a dozen more that I could handle having in my possession! Gotta love it!
Any others like these that I should be looking at for purse projects?
