Quilty Fun on Saturday

Stopping by to see Charlotte, one of my CRAFTLab students, at the Smyrna Mini Handmade Market

Quilts from the Etowah Valley Quilt Show in Cartersville, GA:

Today was fun. Sadie and I stopped in to see Charlotte’s booth at the Smyrna Mini Handmade Market and took a leisurely stroll around the nearby lake. After dropping Sadie off at home, I braved I-75 on a Saturday and drove an hour north to see the Etowah Valley Quilt Guild’s biennial quilt show. It was a small show, but decorated very well with sewing themed vignettes and fall decor throughout the exhibit hall. There was a vendor mall offering vintage machines, handmade sewing accessories, quilt kits, FQ bundles and some sewing books. I picked up a weighted 7′ square tailor’s clapper made by a local woodworker for $20.00. This will be so handy when pressing blocks!

I took the backroads home to avoid traffic and stop by Kohl’s to look at jeans. I found one pair that fit me perfectly! That made an already great Saturday even more awesome!
