Hi! I do a lot of local markets in the fall but you can find some of my items currently at The Crafted Butterfly in Plant City. If you follow me on Facebook and/or Instagram, I always post when where I will be. It's just too hot in the summer for me so I only do fall markets. Hope to see you out there!

@@daniellescraftdiary awesome! Thanks for replying! I will follow you on Instagram and FB! I also live in Tampa and will say “hi” if I see you in any of the markets during Fall/Spring. I agree, it’s too HOT right now in Florida. 🌻

@@heleneikerenkotter2950 that’s definitely an option but I don’t like the look of the white core of the vinyl which is visible at certain angles. If that doesn’t bother you, the raw edge is perfectly fine. The bulk is really minimal and since I have an industrial machine, it’s not a challenge for my machine. If I were using a domestic machine I would probably not fold it over. Also, the embroidery design does have you fold over to tack down so the bulk doesn’t seem to be a problem with this design.

@@daniellescraftdiary I understand that there is a polish that is available to finish the sides of leather and vinyl. I am thinking that I saw it demonstrated on Sally Tomato. If you have a machine that can handle that thickness that is great . The majority of home sewers do not so it might be beneficial to mention alternate ways to sew a project for those who do not have the luxury of an industrial machine. . Today’s sewers have access to machines that were once unavailable to us early sewers. It is frustrating to be limited in what machines can handle in thickness . Thank you for your answer

@@heleneikerenkotter2950 I've seen people use Angela, I believe its called, for edge coating. There's a lot of work with multi coats and sanding from what I've read but people seem to be happy with the results. If your domestic sewing machine doesn't like multiple layers, you can always make the bag completely on the embroidery machine. I know people who embroider and don't even own a sewing machine. For many of us who also sew, we find the stopping and starting of the embroidery machine very time consuming when we can just sew them up on the machine. There are several designers I purchase from who design the pattern for the embroidery machine like you suggested so it's just a preference from the designer and then the sewist if finishing on the machine. I'd love to know how you make out if you decide to give poo bags a try! If at any time it feels too thick for your machine, don't be afraid to hand crank over those thicker areas. Happy Stitching!

We stayed right at MSQC. Just give them a call and tell them you want to book the mini retreat! I hope you love it!

That's how I find my newest favorite thing is by hearing about someone else's favorite thing HA HA HA! Sharing is caring ;) I can't stay still so I'm guessing you are the same way. I just go from one craft to the next, often within the same day. It sure does make organizing a challenge sometimes but I love it. I am also a big paper crafter and go to a lot of scrapbook crops and retreats. Those are a lot of fun too! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to watch and comment.

Yep, now I know. I'm sure many more people will also tell me. I hope you found something enjoyable in the video. Thanks for watching.

I'm so sorry you had that experience! Did you go in a winter month? It was very quiet while we were there but we preferred it that way. I do believe if you participate in one of their hosted retreats they keep you pretty busy but I can see how not having anything on the schedule could be a let down also. I hope you were still able to get some goodies to take home with you. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

@@daniellescraftdiary I went in July and I think you’re right, it should be during a retreat!

I hope you will get there one day but until you do, keep working on those projects and enjoying the time to create. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

It was a blast! A great refresher for sure. The only problem is that now I want to make ALL of the things ha! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

What was your favorite item you took home with you? I can't wait to go again. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@daniellescraftdiary I got several pieces of fabric. I loved the bags and collected them as if they were priceless. 🤣 I I don’t know how I’ve not discovered you sooner but so happy you popped up. Our granddaughter drove us. It was 4 generations taking a day trip which made it so special for us. Our great grandson is 7 and he and hubby liked the man-cave.

That's awesome! My husband travels to KC for work often so I may just tag along with him and take a ride up. I have no business going anytime soon after everything I just bought LOL! They said Jenny was preparing to leave for the UK so we missed her. Hopefully next time! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

It's never too late. If you can get three friends to go along, you'll have a blast. The airport is very easy to navigate yourself and they have curbside bag checks. One of the friends I went with came from Arizon. There is a direct flight from Phoenix to Kansas City. I hope you get the opportunity to go one day! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

I was doing some today because I needed something mindless to keep my hands busy. I will get a video up soon.Thanks for watching!

How lucky! It is a beautiful state. The fields were purple when I was there. What a beautiful way to welcome in Spring!Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

I love this so much. It’s on my bucket list. I’ll go one day but I’m 70 so I must go soon. I’m a handicapped person so I’ll look into that before I go.

You're going to love it! Please report back once you get there and let me know what you thought of it. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

Please tell me what your favorite part was. Mercantile had to have been my favorite store. There was just some energy in the air there... Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

Yes!!! We did order from the warehouse a few times. It was fantastic. Everyone there was so nice. I had no idea there was a Christmas in July retreat. How busy was the town? It was so quiet while we were there because it was still cold. I'm going to have to put it on my list of retreats to check out. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

It's really doable. The airport is easy to navigate, the driver picked me up and dropped me off curbside. It really could not have been easier. Grab a few friends and have your own retreat or go alone to one of theirs and leave with new friends. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

It is! It is so addicting. Do you have the set with quilt blocks? I think they were blue and yellow? We saw that set but it wasn't there for long. What do the others look like? I didn't realize they had a third. Maybe this is going to be a continuous item they change. That would be great! I actually need a new headphone case for my over the ear headphones I take on the plane and I think the large one would be perfect for them. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

I hope you see this comment in time... Some of her fabric is 25% off today at MSQC online! I ordered some at 1am when I let the dog out ( thanks boy ;) and when I went back this morning to get a better look, a lot was sold out. I hope you can grab some! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

The thing that I like about embroidery and cross stitch is that they are portable so I don't feel like I take away from my quilting time. When my kids were young I sat at practices and worked on cross stitch. Now that they are grown, I do it when we watch a movie or when traveling. I keep one in my car at all times if I'm ever stuck waiting ( oil change, picking up curbside orders, etc ) . I used to get a lot more hand work done when they were you but very little quilting. Now it's the opposite! The cloth was about $12 I believe which I thought was very reasonable considering how many are on there. I also purchased the pearl cottons for $3ish each and a hoop and needle. You can use DMC to really cute cost and a wood frame or Q snaps. All in, it was about $60 but if I waited until I got home and used my stash, I only would have paid for the cloth. If you use DMC you could probably get everything for $25. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

I call this my "retirement" budget because when we are retired, I won't be able to spend like that so I'm just stocking up now LOL! I think my husband bought that explanation HA HA HA! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

Please come back and let me know how much you loved it! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

My friend handled all of it but it was not a year ahead. Maybe 6 months prior but that was just when she scheduled, not because of their lack of availability. They said it's very slow in the cold months so I would shoot for those. You don't have to walk far to get to anything so you're only cold for a few minutes. I did not have everything cut on my projects but I had them started already. Two of my friends are working on the same quilt ( Shine On by Bonnie and Camille) and they each cut all of their blocks before we got there. I think it just depends on if you can cut and talk at the same time haha! It will lighten your load too if you are only bringing fabric that needs to be sewn. Organizing might be more of a hobby than quilting for me some days. Stay tuned, I'm going to have a video of how I just reorganized my fabric! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

Yes! There were two cutting tables with mats, rulers and rotary cutters. I would suggest bringing your own blades just be sure you are getting nice cuts. There were four tables to sew on. We turned two of the tables to the side so no one had their back facing anyone and it was perfect. There was plenty of space for four people at the same time. There were only a few times someone had to wait to cut and even then it was only for a moment. There were also two ironing boards and several padded TV stands to keep next to you for use with the mini iron. I don't think anyone ever waited for an iron. I'll post some pictured on my Facebook and IG so you can see. @DaniellesCraftDiary Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

We were just talking about this today. Now when they are $10 people think its a sale. I do love my precuts because they really save time but they can add up very quickly at the register. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

You won't regret it. It was truly awesome. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

I know! My husband tells me it doesn't matter what size room I have, I'll fill it up HA HA HA! He's not wrong. I could just look at the fabric all day. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

Sounds like you need to plan another trip back ;) Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

My weakness!!! Ha! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

I knew she wasn't her daughter but never knew her son's name. Love that name.. Jacob. One of my favorite people in the Bible. But I thought for a long time she was her daughter as well so I get where she thought that.

Thanks for the correction. I hope you found something enjoyable in the video.

Great recap of your trip!! My friend is going soon and I’ve sent her your video!! I’d want stay right there too if I can ever go!!

She sure looks like family!!!
