Me & Mimi's Crafting Nook

On October  7th, 8th, and 9th in Hattiesburg there was a Pine Belt Quilters 13th Biennial Fiber Art & Quilt show.  So guess what?  Me, Mimi, and my two munchkins loaded up and headed for Hattiesburg. We had a blast even my oldest had fun.  I had my camera and he had my phone taking pictures.  He did a great job on them too, but he loves selfies and oh boy did we have selfies. ha ha ha. Look for the ones my oldest munchkin made too.

You can find more about the quilt show on their Facebook page  and their website.  I had been with Mimi before to it and enjoyed it, but it was when my oldest was little.   There was so many quilts and all of them were so unique and beautiful.  If you haven’t been to this quilt show, you are missing out on a blessing!!!!!

Some of the quilts are:

I think this is my favorite.  I love the puzzle pieces. I call it the Autism quilt.  The puzzle pieces are the quilting design of the entire quilt.

 

this next one is called “Rejoice in the Spirit”……..

  

America  the beautiful

   

 

I loved the hair and flowers the way it was done

 

 

Don’t you want to just reach out and touch the cotton

  

   

 

Now the pictures my oldest munchkin took (I know yall have been waiting for these)

the selfie picture ha ha ha LOVE this kid!!!!

   

                        

 

Now at the beginning I said that my two munchkins was with us. Well my lil munchkin wanted out of her stroller and fussed at me most of the time. ha ha ha  She didnt want to just look at the quilts, she wanted to touch them also ha ha ha.  Maybe next time she will enjoy it more.

 

Until next time…………..

Next up we will be starching angels.

Last weekend Auntie, my cousin, me and my lil girl went to the MS Pecan Festival.  This was our 1st trip down there, and we really enjoyed it.  I love outside, animals, old stuff and crafts, so it was right down my alley.  The crafts were quilts, wooden bedding, bowl making, etc.  You can find the MS Pecan Festival on Facebook at the following link: MS Pecan Festival.  

While looking around  I found a mother/ daughter team that has Alpaca’s.  They ‘re going to have a Festival on November 19th from 9-4.  You can find  them on Facebook at the following link Stinger Alpaca Festival.  They also have a website which is https://www.astrokageneusalpacas.com/.  I am wanting to go. I hope my schedule will allow for me to.   I loved the stuffed animals and the lap blankets.  Here are some pictures of their work. 

   

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

                   

Look at the spinning wheel.  Super Cool!!!!

           There were another set of ladies that had pretty quilts.  One of the lady’s name was Sylvia Rolison, you can get in touch with her at threeoaksfarm@earthlink.net

Here are only some of their pretty quilts they had made.

        

         

 

The following are some more booths with crochet and quilts.

                           

 

 

These ladies  had spent a lot of time one these the large round crocheted table top was 52 in  I believe.

     

There was a mule pull, my first time to see it and it was cool.

Then there was a mini horse and cart my lil girl loved it. ha ha she wanted to ride.

They also had old farm equipment that was actually working.  One was shucking corn and the other was grinding up the stalks.

 

These are some of the wood craft booths:

Beautiful Wood Bedroom suits. (I love these)

 

The bench and chair was awesome!! Just didn’t have room to bring them home…ha ha ha LOVED them.

The following 2 pictures are bowl making. (these are so interesting watching someone make these)

There was a guy making brooms there too.  I didn’t get to see him actually make one from start to finish but there is always next year.

They also had a black smith.  I have seen these before and I am fascinated with this.

 

This took place in a pecan orchard.  It had old buildings around the area, which set the mood for me back in the older days.  Here are some of the buildings  and the stage where they had singing going on as well.
