Everyone had a great time on Saturday. And so many of you attended! Thank you, everyone who came. It’s always lots of fun to meet other crafters and to get to know you. Many of you had cameras, too, so I’m hoping to see some photos of the event.<\/p>\n

Heather<\/a> showed us the most amazing illustrated books of field flowers and fish (as well as a mermaid!), and Denyse<\/a> shared some old quilt books and contemporary art as inspiration. I was happy to display those fashion plates<\/a> I showed you on Friday, along with some materials that have been inspiring me for some soon-to-be-announced projects.<\/p>\n

I told you we had a beautiful room? I neglected to ask anyone to take photos, so these pictures were taken by S on our way out.<\/p>\n

Thank you to to our friend and librarian Jessica Pigza<\/a>, to Crafternoon author and organizer Maura Madden<\/a>, to the staff of the library, and to Heather, who organized the event. And you must see Heather’s skirt<\/a>, made specially for the occasion using images from the library’s digital collection. She also includes instructions for making it using a modified pattern from her book, so visit her blog for details.<\/p>\n
