Spring is here...and so is the Derby!!

🌹Signs of Spring - Kentucky Derby 🌹

My Niece helped with appliqué of the jockey jersies and hats! 

I found the Derby licensed fabric at JoAnn Fabrics. 

For the coordinating fabrics I went back to the cute shop where I bought my sewing machine 9 years ago! (which means I have been sewing that long). 

It’s called Patchwork Plus Quilt Shop in Marcellus

Please Come Soon SPRING!

A NYS Fair Update...

My purse in the previous post, "Holly" won Honorable Mention in the Arts & Crafts, Purse Category.
I also entered the white crepe paper rose bridal bouquet that I made for my Sister for her wedding in June...it won 1st Place in the Arts & Crafts, Silk Flower Creations Category.

Both will be on display at the Fair from Thursday Aug 27th through Labor Day! Come check it out!!

Their wedding; with the crepe paper Bouquet and Boutonniere

Holly

An original design inspired by one of my favorite early evening shows on TV in England, called Hollyoaks.

I have entered this purse in the 2009 NYS Fair for judging in August prior to opening day...
Check back for an update in late August to see if you can view it at the Fair...Hopefully you will be able to!!

This is the purse I currently carry...

This fits well inside other larger bags, making it easy to grab and go if you need to run into a shop.
