QuiltCon 2019- Day 3

Day 3

Today we finished up seeing all the quilts in the show and Wow…. it really took three days to see all this stuff!

Here are some of my Day 3 faves…

We took some time today to do a Make and Take. Those are so fun. They had a few here to do. We each did a different project… quilted post cards, eye masks and a draw string pouch.

Here is my cute little pouch!

We had a great class by Amy Friend of During Quiet Time about paper piecing. Her work is amazing and I’m dying to get her book, Intentional Piecing.

Since we finished up all the show stuff we decided to hit up some sites! The Country Music Hall of Fame.

We had a great time meeting up with our Richmond friends for dinner too.

I have a class tomorrow and then its back on the road again.

Keep it Sassy♥

QuiltCon 2019- Day 4

Day 4

Today we just had one lecture left on working on accuracy. Learned a few tips and tricks there.

We did one more round in the show room and voted on our favorite quilt for the peoples choice award.

This was my pick….

And you know we had to go grab a couple more deals! Just a little more….

Quiltcon was an awesome experience! If you haven’t been you should definitely put it on your list. You won’t regret it!

I can’t wait to get home and start all my projects that I have been inspired to make.

QuiltCon 2019- Day 2

Day 2

We are here all weekend so we have the luxury of taking it slow to get through all the goodness here.

We hit up the show quilts first. Sooooooooo many amazing works of art here! Here are a few of my faves…

We made it through about half today and you know we couldn’t resist hitting up some of our fave shops again…

6.00 a yard folks! Such a deal…

OH, and don’t forget our stop at the GooGoo shop!

Tomorrow we will finish up the show quilts, visit some more local shops and get some sights in.

QuiltCon 2019-Day 1

I am so excited to be at QuiltCon!

We are in Nashville this year… I love the exciting cities they pick for us to visit! I am with two of my quilt besties. I love a good quilty road trip!

It is such a huge show! You definitely need a few days to soak it all in.

Day 1

First stop for us was a couple of lectures…. Building Your Quilt Practice and Free Motion Impact. Building Your Quilt Practice was not what we thought it was about, but turned out to be surprisingly inspirational. It focused more on how you practice your craft. How to make time, how to find what you love and what you don’t, and how to make your quilting your own. My favorite quote from the lecture was….

The first thing we hit after the lectures was the VENDORS! We just couldn’t wait to get our hands on some fabric. They have so much to look at we could barely make it through the first day…. we definitely saved some booths to go back to again.

Here is what I scored the first day…

Ahhhh…… in love<3

I got some great deals! 6.00 a yard and fat quarters for around 2.00. I definitely had to restrain myself!!! I also got some cork because I’m dying to try it on a zipper pouch.

Tomorrow we will check out all the rest of the show quilts and hit up some local quilt shops… Can’t wait.
