This past weekend was the Lyon's Farm Fall Festival. I've participated in this festival since 2012. The first year, I took 4 sewing machines. This year I took 13 sewing machines. I had less space this year, so my booth was a bit crowded. (the first year I had the whole building to myself).
One of the vendors sold old jewelry. She had a (new) sewing machine pin, and I just had to buy it. It looks like my Willcox & Gibbs chainstich machine.
I wasn't the only one sewing at the festival. The Quilter's Dozen has been at this event longer than I have. The ladies were hand quilting their next raffle quilt for the Prairie Fest Quilt Show that they put on. I'll be trying to win this quilt next Father's Day (always the last day of Prairie Fest).
On Saturday morning, hubby brought me some flowers for my booth. Thursday was our 32nd Anniversary.
Due to the rain most of the weekend, the crowds were very thin. Instead of talking about my machines most of the weekend, I got lots of sewing done instead.
I finished my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks for August (light blue) and September (purple). Sorry, the colors are washed out in the photos.
I also got lots stitched on 6 Parcheesi game boards that I'm making, but I didn't take any photos.
Another vendor had a treadle head in his garage, and he asked if I wanted it. It's rusty, but it turns. This is the first new machine I've gotten in over a year (I've been being really good).
I'll try to start getting this cleaned up this weekend.
