SFTH at the Phoenix Show

Hubby was kind enough to take me to the Phoenix Quilt/Sew/Craft show yesterday at the Phoenix Fairgrounds. I hadn't been in a few years.

Here are some pics of my favorite booth at the Show.

Sarah Vedelder's "Hearts"

Another one of Sarah's patterns.



Sarah's "Sparkle" Christmas Tree Skirt. GO dies available.

Sarah's "Stars" table topper. GO dies available. The reason Sarah always has so many of her beautiful creations at SFTH is because she lives locally and even teaches there.

SFTH always has the latest and greatest Bernina sewing machines set up for all to sample. Look at these awesome JUMBO samplers made simply using the JUMBO hoop for the Bernina 830 Embroidery Machine.

It's deceiving....the black is simply a cut piece of fabric the shape of the JUMBO hoop and then the design is stitched in black on a piece of white fabric and the fabrics are then put together. It looks SO beautiful !!

This is Susie Parker (on the left), a VERY talented seamstress and owner of Sew From The Heart, my favorite Bernina Shop.



SFTH also has FANTASTIC garment seamstresses. Barb Grace (in red - bending over) is such a talent, always sharing her knowledge of sewing garments.





This is a pattern that I will be ordering. They ran out of it the first day.

What a fun show. Thanks for taking photos and sharing insights. I'd be delighted to go to this show just to see Sarah's projects and more from Sew from the Heart. What a fun show. Maybe next year I can come.
