A very kind person gave us tickets to the Maker Faire. It is something that I have heard lots of good things about, but never visited. Friend Julie<\/a> loves it. Maureen<\/a> and Amy from the Creative Mom podcast<\/a> also rave about it. We finally got a chance to go and I have to say that the best thing about it was being inspired. I saw lots of this and that which had a nice line or good texture or something else that struck my imagination. It made it worth it to give up a day of sewing for that inspiration.<\/p>\n

One of the things I really liked and did not photograph was the Steampunk costumes and fantastical vehicles. The ingenuity and creativity was amazing and oozing all over the place.<\/p>\n

\"Back<\/a>
Back of Coat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don’t know this woman. I have no idea if she knew I was photographing the back of her coat. I really liked the back of her coat. It looked very tailored, yet easy to wear.<\/p>\n

\"Embroidered<\/a>
Embroidered Buttons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have an embroidery module on my sewing machine. Lately I keep hearing about or needing to deal with buttons. This display gave me the idea of making my own buttons from embroidered designs I can do using my embroidery module. Cool, eh?<\/p>\n

\"Bathroom<\/a>
Bathroom Quilt Idea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Every year for the past few years, I have talked about the quilt<\/a> I want to make and put in one or both of my bathrooms. I saw this display and it is the same idea. I probably would make mine 4×5 rather than 3 x 12 or whatever it was. I like the idea of slipping things in and taking them out.<\/p>\n

\"FabMo.org<\/a>

I don’t know anything about the above Dresden Plate,but the fact that it is in the FabMo booth makes me think the maker used FabMo fabrics. Isn’t it GREAT?<\/p>\n

\"Inspiration<\/a>
Inspiration Foot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a sea of black, denim and asphalt was this kid wearing red Chuck Taylors. I couldn’t stop looking at this foot dangling off of the dad who held him for the entire 20 minutes of the Mentos\/Coke Zero show. He didn’t wiggle or talk really, his dad didn’t complain about holding him and the whole time his foot dangled down waiting for me to photograph it. The socks are an added bonus. This is definitely a photo I want to draw.<\/p>\n
