Well, before arriving at the quilt show, I had to turn around in the parking lot of a little strip mall. My hair had really been bothering me, and I desperately needed a haircut. While turning around, I saw one of those cheap, walk-ins-welcome type of haircut places. I decided to stop in .. what harm could they do? I just wanted a couple inches chopped off. The haircut, which I thought would be simple, took an hour. And when it was done, I looked ridiculous. Looked like she had put a bowl on my head and cut around the bottom.
Well, what could I do? Off I went to the quilt show. It was beautiful. Here are pictures of some of the quilts:
selvage edges wrapped around a big ball.. or just wrapped to become a big ball. I'm not sure which.
note to JS: this one was made by your friend, Sandy
After the show I called the person I usually go to for haircuts. What had possessed me to go elsewhere? I asked her for an appointment to fix a bad haircut. I was embarrassed to admit where I had gone. Well, she managed to fix me up, so I now look presentable. Lesson learned.
Here is a photo of the purse I bought at the quilt show. So pretty! And now it is lighter, because I ended up having to pay for two haircuts.
loved the Dear Jane...I made one in traditional Civil Wars and have two more started. I'm hooked.
ReplyDeleteI love quilt shows up close and personal; second best are virtual ones. Thanks for the highlights! Love that first one.
ReplyDeleteIs that first quilt pictured a Judy Niemeyer design? I'm heading to a show on Sat. Love all that inspiration. Thanks for sharing and stay away from back-ally hair butchers.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the haircut mishap! Thank goodness it was only a cut and not a color or perm or something. A quilt show was the perfect way to lift your spirits. Thanks for sharing the photos. (But what's with that ball o' selvedges?)
