I spent yesterday exploring another side of my creativity—I attended
the Wisconsin Quilt Expo. In addition to all the great fabric, I saw
beads, felting, and heat-set crystals, all to be incorporated into
fabric projects. My creative brain is in high gear after that and I'm
looking forward to a little time this weekend with my fabric stash. And
now that the fall weather is on the horizon, I might need a little time
with my fall/winter wardrobe and my bead stash—a gal needs a few new
creations this time of year to spice up last year's separates.
The gals of the Jewelry Gem crowd have been hard at work this week. Check 'em out.
