Denver shopping

We made the drive from Minnesota without a hitch and great traveling weather. The first day, Saturday we drove from White Earth Indian Reservation where we had spent the night at the Shootting Star Casino and watched Jeff Foxworthy in Concert.

We stopped in Lincoln Nebraska for the night and had dinner at King Kong's burgers. My sandwich was good. I should have taken a picture of all the King Kong statutes out on the front lawn of the restaurant.

Sunday, we got in Denver around 2:30pm and checked into the hotel. Wow, this historic hotel is amazing. I'll take pictures and post them before we leave.

This morning I hopped in the truck and drove to a suburb called Littleton.

I stopped in the Creative Needle, I bought two embroidery design packs.

This is called Hmong's The Way, by Laura's Sewing Studio. I have three small bags, embellished with Hmong (pronounced Ha Mong). I have always like the embroidery, which is done by hand, but being able to do this on my machine is great.

The other pack is a Babylock pack called Modern Mola.






I also went to a hugh fabric outlet called Denver Fabrics. I bought a few yards of fabric and two patterns. I'll write more about the patterns later, I left them in the Truck, when I valet parked. Yes valet parking, downtown Denver is not easy to find parking and the valet was quikc and easy.

The Clerk at Denver Fabrics gave me a local resources listing for all things crafty in the Denver area. She sent me to a quilt shop called Fabric Expressions. Where I bought the pattern to make this handbag. It has tow pockets under the flap and four inside the bag. The bag is called, Serentity Shoulder Bag by Patterns by Annie. The bag uses this new technique to texture the flap with Texture Magic.

Tomorrow the plan is to go to the outlet mall, Colorado Mill.
