a little nw fun!!

This last Friday I was able to attend the Northwest Trade Show and had a wonderful time meeting some of the reps for Riley Blake, Michael Miller, Seven Islands and a few others. With only having the one day I tried to fit in the most I could.

That morning before the trade show I decided to whip up a cute new book bag so I'd have something to put all those lovely catalogs and papers in. I think it turned out pretty cute for only having a short time to finish it.

A close up of the cute crocheted trim. I'm loving all the lovely crocheted trims right now.

The highlight of my trip was definenatley meeting with the Riley Blake reps. I think I spent several hours just at their booth talking, and looking at all the new fabrics collections that will be coming out in the next several months. Oh, and they are some of the CUTEST!!! So I ordered quite a bit!!

I think this might be my all time favorite!! The new hoo's in the forest collection by doohikey design!! I can't wait!! I think this ones comes out in May or June.

The new Sew Cherry collection by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet! This one comes out next month!! It isn't it just so pretty!!

Alphabet Soups by My Mind's Eye!! I love how they have the boy and the girl collection!! This one comes out in June or July.

The adorable Christmas Candy collection by doodlebug designs!! This one comes out in May!!

Pirates by Emily Taylor! A great collection for boys!!


If you notice in the lower right hand corner of the pictures how Riley Blake is now offering charm packs, layer cakes, fat quarter bundles and jelly rolls (they call them rolie polies)! YEAH!! I love pre cuts so ordered lots of those!!

There were several other collections that weren't in the catalog but they are just as cute!!

Hope everyone is having a terrific Tuesday!!
