Quilt Festival trip

 Hello, everyone. Last week our sewing club--those who could find the time--visited the quilt show in Houston.  We were so busy taking it all in, and shopping, that I hardly took any pictures.

There was one booth, though...representatives from LSU were there to promote the uses of alligator leather in sewing projects. 

The nice young lady had done a project. This is the rest of the skin after she cut pieces out for her item.

Alligator leather corset

This is a boned corset she made from the leather and a kind-of khaki green fabric. She has placed eyelets for a laced back...this garment will absolutely require an assistant to get dressed!

The stuffed toy gator at the bottom was cute, made of fabric, and had a mouth that can be opened during play.
