I didn't have a lot of time to shop the vendors at the show, but I did come home with this beautiful amethyst basket.
It supports the Heifer Project and I love that buying this basket helps someone halfway around the world. It was made in Ghana, Africa of Elephant Grass with goat hide handles. It supplies milk to needy families. This is my third basket from the Heifer Project, but I especially loved this color and shape. (And doesn't Jubilee Tribute look pretty on the chair?)
And then on Saturday my number was picked during our Chinese Auction and I won this cute basket of some fat quarters, thread, note pad and book. It's always so much fun to win something :).
Still trying to recover. I'll be back to normal soon.
Happy stitching,
Karen

Your basket is gorgeous and also goes really well with the quilt I think. Congratulations too on your win. I notice the basket your goodies are in is made with a quilting pattern - that is real attention to detail.
Gorgeous goodies!! Hope they help cheer you up!
The basket is really pretty, Karen. I can "feel your pain" as it relates to recovering from your show. I'm being pushed to the max at the AQS show... and am loving every minute of it! My problem is that I'm so stimulated during the day that I can't fall asleep at night. Running on five to six hours a night, but I'm sure it will catch up to me. Funny though. I may never get caught up since my next stop is Kansas City and nine days with our five grandchildren!
