I’d like to say I have more going on in my life than our Quilt
Guild Show/Boutique…..but I don’t. This
being the first year of “being in charge” I am quite nervous about its
success. Normally, I’m a pretty passive
person, but a few times I’ve spoken my mind at a couple of board
meeting/encounters …..And now I feel like I need to “put up or shut up”!! This is how bad it is, I’m checking out other
quilt guild shows to see what kind of sale areas they have. Noting what they’re selling, how its set-up,
what seems to be popular, etc. So there it
is, I’ve lowered myself to quilt stalking! I wish I would have paid more
attention to our Boutique in the past.
Well, I kind of did, it looked like a throw-back from the seventies (a
board meeting conversation I should’ve kept to myself), it's a look I couldn’t get
past to notice anything else.
Co-Director Sue and I have tons of ideas, now will the set-up be as
gorgeous as the mental pics in our head?
Fingers crossed, one can only hope.
While creating my Sparkling pins and pincushions for the
Boutique, I noticed on Pinterest - a few snazzy pins with metal beaded bees on
them. Quilting Bee! To say I searched high and low for
these little bees is an understatement.
As with anything else, I went to Amazon – you have to admit, if it’s not
on Amazon, it’s not out there. They
still didn’t have exactly the bee bead I was looking for. But…during my search I ran across the
hexie/bee combo. Since there seems to be
a hexie craze going on right now, these little darlings could not be more
perfect!
Now, am I the only one loving these? Or will the shoppers at the Boutique buzz
with excitement too!
