Sewing and Craft Show at the Tradex

This weekend my friend Leslie and I attended the Sewing and Craft Show. I had gone a few years ago with my mother so I knew what to expect but it was a lot of fun going with someone who quilts too!
So I braved driving to their house and from there we proceeded to the show!
We immediately ignored the craft side and headed to the fabric.. and so much fabric there was!
We stuck with out plan though and looked at everything first until we hit a display of accuquilt's GO! fabric cutter. And boy were we impressed. I stood there with my scarred wrists taking in the ease that the machine cut through the fabric.. multiple layers of fabric even!

So we of course decided to 'think about it' (yah right!)
Then we hit up one of the local quilt shop's sale table, sold by the pound. Yah, I went a bit crazy. Let's not talk about it ok?
Then we went back and each bought the baby go hahahahaaha




LOVE IT! Of course when I got home I had to do a test run.. I understand why it's so heavy now, it's to help keep the unit stable. Perfect shapes cut in a quick manner.. for someone with wrist problems this machine is awesome!

Here are a few pictures of quilts that were on display. Wish I felt brave enough to take some photos of quilts that were on display in the booths but oh well!





Thanks to Leslie for joining me!

Yes it was gorgeous.. I really liked a lot of the quilts that were in booths but I thought it would be rude to take pictures seeing as a lot of the places were selling them as kits.
