Road to California….Part 2….

One of the highlights of the Road to California was to meet Lisa Bongean from Primitive Gatherings and to finally see her booth! (She showed us pictures of it on her blog earlier this week…and they made me drool!!)

Lisa’s booth was better than the pictures…it  was absolutely gorgeous…tons of eye candy but WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE!!  (It brought back memories of $1.49 Days…Maybe you have to be old and Canadian to remember these sales.  Woodward’s Department Stores use to have a $1.49 Day ..Tuesday- once a month…I still remember the song…there use to be a million people at these sales as they sold really good things for $1.49…people would practically wrestle each other to the floor to get a hold of the bargain…)  So this is what was flashing through my mind while shopping in this booth.  As I picked up a book I was waiting to be attacked by the women beside me!  But then I remembered WE  ARE QUILTERS AND WOULD NEVER DO THINGS LIKE THAT…RIGHT?

Lisa was very nice…but REALLY busy!  Both her and her husband were swamped with line ups. 

So what did I buy?  I bought some lovely wool and this book- 

It’s called Wool Crazy and it was written by JoAnn Mullaly.  

Inside the book is the step by step instructions to make this gorgeous Crazy Quilt….Isn’t it stunning…

Sorry this picture is a little blurring…the lady beside me was trying to wrestle me to the ground…Just kidding…I took these pictures quickly as the ladies behind me wanted in…and you don’t mess with quilters.

Inside the book are the  patterns to make all these love little blocks… 

This quilt is quite small so it’s VERY do-able…

I can’t wait to make this quilt…and the nice part is you can use the appliqué  pictures on other quilts or pillows or whatever…The book is only $25!  Well worth it!!

I also bought this pattern…remember I  have a weakness for snowmen…

I just love him and look at the little bird on his nose…so cute!!  Had to have him!

I really wanted to show you what I bought at the Heart to Hand booth but will have to save it for tomorrow.  We are hooked up to a wifi system that shuts down if I try to post too many pictures and these pictures are dynamite!! They just might shut down the whole park!!   (Got to keep you coming back for more!) 

Have a Magical Monday and Happy Quilting!
