Here are the goodies I picked up. The lavender fabric is linen and the booklet are from Louise Cutting.The patterns and double tracing wheel are from Vogue Fabrics.
I also got this fabulous Rowenta iron,which I have already put to the test and I love it ! It steams forever. I've aways hated ironing but after using this baby,it's a cake walk. I even ironed DH work clothes and DD school uniform for the week.They usually iron their own clothes and were quite surprised. 
The thing that I like most about the sewing expos are the New Designer Fashion Show.I enjoy seeing how the designers use the a few patterns to create several different looks. They make small changes,use different fabrics and embellishment techniques to make a full and flattering wardrobe. I never make changes and mostly stick to the suggested fabric listed on the pattern envelope. I have returned from this show filled with inspiration. The pattern is just a vehicle,I can take it as far as I want,in any direction. I love sewing!!!

Glad you had a good time! I will have to make a point to check it out next time it comes!!!
I kept an eye out for you Saturday but didn't spot you! Guess I was too involved in hunting down my own haul! A goodly portion of which came from Vogue...hopefully we'll catch each other *next* year!
My feet are still kinda achy... and now I've got a ton of sewing to do ;)
Sounds like you had a great time.
Glad to hear you had a lovely time. I'm drooling over the Rowenta Iron...lol.
Hey Lisa;
Glad you love your iron, KNEW YOU WOULD! Again I had a GREAT TIME, and I'm so glad I went. Wish I had bought more, but I did spend all of my money (lol). Can't wait to do this again!
Glad that you and Faye had a good time...brings back memories when you said that you visited Vogue Fabrics...I left quite a bit of money with them when I was at the last expo in MA with them!
I have this iron. I loved it so much I purchased one for my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas last year. They both iron everything, and they love it.
