Pearls in the Rough

Fantastic SAQA meeting yesterday at Sew Inspired (www.sewinspired.com) in Simsbury. Kendall gave a neat demonstration using fusible and newspaper to create a word film on gauze-lke nylon and we enjoyed having Martha Sielman, executive director of SAQA (www.saqa.com) with us.

And, after declaring my love for scraps, Kendall and Diedre loaded 4 big boxes into my car...linen, wool, silk and cotton!
The goodies I found upon opening the boxes! 

Partial organization or at least stacked with that idea in mind
I can't wait to start using these. Just think precut, fused edges, texture galore! Some of the linen pieces remind my of old flags....so I will start my first prayer flag today.
