I started the turquoise necklace in Santa Fe, but I though it needed something else so I added another strand. The silver necklace and bracelet were inspired by some I saw in Sundance.
I also spent this morning at the Sully Quilt Festival in Chantilly, Va.
It was really quite nice--fabric, some crafts, quilts for sale. I got some nice fabric and a ton of ideas. You should think about coming for it next year. And K, you'll get a double header, as it's at the home of Robert E. Lee's uncle, Richard Bland Lee.

go e, go! That's a very exciting post. I love the skirts -- can you please share what pattern you used so I can try it too? And what was the conversion on size -- 3 down from what the measurements said?? :)
Did you make the quilt in the pic?
Beautiful!!! I love the jewelry. Is the silver all silver or is something mixed with it?
I would also like to know about the skirt pattern. There is nothing in the stores that I am willing to pay $$$$ for, besides the fact that most of the skirts are short.
PS the quilt is amazing. I could never get anything to square up like that!
Just to be clear---I did NOT make the quilt. It was one of a ton hanging around the park.
The silver is just silver--spacers, I guess.
The bamboo print skirt was the pattern that K had told me about--an elastic waist pull on. The other 3 are bias cut elastic waist. They're Simplicity #'s 7090 and 5505.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you about the coolest stuff that I found out about at a silver shop in Annapolis. Dr. Bronner's liquid peppermint soap takes tarnish off of silver jewellery--all you have to do is rub it around in your hands, no scrubbing necessary unless you've got a really tough spot. I got mine at Whole Foods and have put it in my hand soap dispenser.
It was actually 4 sizes different. It said I needed a 22 and I made a 14. What ARE they thinking?
