| Quilt Scene Investigator bag, isn't it cute! |
Last night at my 2nd quilt guild meeting, Quilt Scene Investigator, Carrie Sumski showed us lots of her antique quilts and other treasures that she has collected. These are but a few of her treasures. Isn't the bag cute, with the 'body' embroidered on it! Carrie did a great presentation. She wasn't supposed to come until April, but, she got moved up. We saw the neatest vintage linens, and other items, too. Her hubby was a great help, both with the presentation, and helping her collect several of the quilts. (Good Hubby!) Her nickname is 'Queen of Green' for her 'recycling' efforts. A well deserved name. She made the thread holder using an old, painted shoe form, a piece of metal tubing (for the thread to sit on) and a 'found' quilting item she'd found at a garage sale, a Dritz Loop Turner. She still has the price tag from the wooden foot on the bottom ($1.50 at Goodwill). My friends call me the garage sale queen, but I'm not even in her league. It was a great show! If you know of a quilt guild in Illinois that needs a program, contact me.

I have a bag just like your quilt scene investigator. One of my best friends and fellow guild members, made one for me in my favorite shades of purples. I carry many projects around in that size bag.
