I Got "Inspired to Sew" By Bari J!!

Guess who I met yesterday!!!

I MET BARI J!!!!

I hope I did not scare her by my stalker fan excitement!

She was so nice and pretty and friendly 
and so were her hubby and daughters!!

I LOVE her Garden Tunic! 

The pattern and how-to are included

in her book.

And it is JUST GORGEOUS up close!

The Tree Of Dreams Wallhanging, 

on the wall behind us, 

is SO AMAZING!!

It has little bits of all kinds of

fabric and even a little ballerina dancing

amongst the leaves and flowers.

Oh I LOVED IT!

And she had lots of the beautiful projects in the 

book, right there to show.

Oh, wait!

I did not tell you WHERE I met her!

Wooden Gate Quilts in Danville, CA

is just the most adorable quilt shop.

I will definitely be making the drive back there for classes

and fabric purchasing. 

They hosted Bari's book signing and had her

fabrics on sale too! 

Look!! 

Bari autographed my book for me!!

(Sorry, grammarians, this post

really does demand all of the exclamation points!!)

And I bought some of her lovely Country Lane prints.

I wanted to buy more, but let's just say 

that I am trying to be good about

my fabric purchases this year.

At least I made it until the 22rd of

January before I bought fabric this year. 

So, I am dying to start sewing

some of the gorgeous projects

in this book.

But I have to wait until I finish my 

online traffic school course that

is due this week.

Bleck.

You can buy your very own book

signed by Bari 

here.

You will be INSPIRED!!

Happy Sewing!
