Extreme Weekend!


What an extreme weekend it was. The Sin City Mini Club did an amazing job at organizing AMVIV 9, the annual Mini car club event. It was such fun to see club members I hadn't seen in a long time and to meet lots of new people I look forward to seeing next year. Here are a few of the people that bought my bags. Unfortunately my camera battery died and in my overheated, exhausted state I forgot to recharge it.

Check out the purse she is carrying. It is really cool. That guy really did buy those two bags. The colorful bag on the right looks like roads that Mini's love to travel on. Hard to tell in that photo though.


Winston @ AMVIV  June 2012

I think his name is Winston and he was a barrel of energy at a year old. Loved being the center of attention and if Mom would have let him I think he would have stayed all day. 


AMVIV 9 June 2012

What would a Las Vegas trade show be without showgirls? Not a Las Vegas trade show! As members of the club they wanted to do their part, and what a great addition they were.




Miss Kitty Kaboot is a member doing her part. This was her pre-show outfit. She sang at the pool party and was a huge success. She really does have a great voice and so hot in her long pink dress! Check out more photos of AMVIV  if you are on Facebook. Don't miss the video on my Facebook. 

A special thanks to Husband for taking his garage swamp cooler to the show to keep us cool. Yes, the show was outside and the highest temperature was 110 on Saturday when I left. That's what it said the outside temp was and it was in the shade! He hauled lots of 5 gallon buckets of water to keep that thing filled. Thanks.

It was a great event but the thought of sewing in the air conditioning is very appealing to me!

Until next time...happy sewing!

MQG Journal Swap

It was journal swap night at the MQG meeting. I received a really, really cool one. We supplied an 'inspiration' fabric and they added however much of whatever fabric they wanted. I love it!

Journal Swap MQG May 2012

The fabric I gave her was the top one. I love what she did with it.

Here is the front of the one I gave. My design was inspired last month when the big meteor dropped from outer space and landed somewhere in the world with a big boom. 

MQG Journal Swap  May 2012

I used raw edge circles and King Tut variegated quilting cotton to make my circles look like they are exploding! 

Journal detail

This was a really fun project and the journals that were products of this swap were amazing. Will send a link as soon as our guild gets their photos up. 

The orange challenge, hmmm....
