The craft fair has come and gone for June..two more to go in July and August. I sold one wallet total.

| sneaking in some trimming time...I did cut myself:( small cut,learned my lesson:) |
You know what though? I received a lot of really great compliments on my work and did hand out some business cards. I may even have a possible commission quilt ahead of me:) Staying REALLY positive!!
BESIDES, a few days prior to the fair I had received a convoy on Etsy for a commission quilt! The client wanted the "Color Me Happy" quilt I have listed in my shop,but a bit bigger at 40x60. Happy news for mu-aw!
I decided to get precise lines and not go all wobbly I would
finally use my Clover Hera marker:) It worked so well and made my life a lot easier. I do a cartwheel inside when tools do what they are supposed to do. Ya know?! I prepped 4 bobbins with white thread and went through every one of them. Prepared. Yes indeed!
The client had her kiddos voted on 20 quilts and they loved mine hands down!! Humbling:) This is why I quilt. Reason # ???
The Roy G Biv color wheel was requested and so I took out the original colors pink and black and used charm squares. The dilemma for me was the math. I really need a quilting calculator or I will be forced to rely on
Quilting Board once again. They are so darn knowledgeable on there and quick to reply!!
This will be displayed on a wall as a art piece. A completely white backing. Easy for me. No piecing! I think the straight line grid pattern for the quilting really offsets the HST'S quite magically.
All the colors really jump out at you with the black binding---sweet!
Shortly it will be on its way to Ohio!
A few days ago I received a request for a custom wallet. Colors are hot pink,yellow,aqua/turquoise, with a black snap closure and brown zipper. Here is the print I had in pink on a wallet listed in my shop that the client really liked. OOP Tula Pink Plume:
Snatched a yard and it is sitting on my cutting table waiting for me. This will be he outside print for the wallet. I hope to get this done at my new quilting group tomorrow. Totally excited to have 3 hrs to myself t sew!! This is my second time going and it is very nice! Ayden gets to go play with some friends nearby too. It's a win-win situation!
Speaking of my stinker boy!! There he is:)
Time to skedaddle and go cook up some steaks for the boy and I.
Enjoy your week and I hope you get some good sewing in!
