And now, for some fabric love.

Pretty fabric flowers and applique at the Silhouette booth. Love these fabrics together!

While at the Silhouette booth, I got to make this super fun tote bag (using heat transfer material) to take home with me!

See that little purple cardstock template in the upper-right corner of this photo? That's how the demonstrator made these fabric blooms. Pretty!
More flower tools from Clover. These are called Kanzashi flowers.
I heart Cricut Magazine . . .
. . . and Paper Crafts Magazine! This is me at their booth.
Overall, I was pretty overwhelmed by the massive structures required to set up for a 3-day event. I mean, these companies were basically moving in, with bookcases, stages, mini "houses," lounges, huge hanging displays and lots more, all to showcase their latest and greatest products.

The trade show happens twice a year, and this was the smaller of the two shows. Still, Martha was kind enough to show up.
