I spent part of the day making this colorful jewelry pouch as the give away prize. If you look really close at the interior photo, you'll see that there's an extra surprise attached to a sterling silver chain and hidden inside one of the compartments. Did I ever mention that I am also a silversmith? 
I had a great time at the IQA Long Beach show in Long Beach. It consisted of Special Exhibit quilts (mostly art quilts) and 500 vendors. That's a whole lot of vendors! I'm real excited about an Olfa circle cutter that I bought. It cuts any size circle between 1-7/8 t0 8-1/2". I love circles and use them a lot in my work. This will definitely make it much easier to cut them.
I was in a fabric booth and heard somebody say, "Was that shirt on a blog?" Turns out it was Doreen K all the way from Nevada. It was so surprised that somebody recognized my shirt!

OK, I don't actually have a blog, but I'll leave a guess. Being an avid shopper myself and having the opportunity to be at an event like that I'm guessing . . . hmmmm . . . $475.

I'm guessing $800.00 !!!!! No real reason.....I just know how tempting those gizmo and gadget vendors are, not to mention the fabric and embellishments etc. !!!
That bag has beautiful colors! Did you dye it yourself??
Hello from Norway! Just found your blog via Sue B's - I'm also a happy owner of one of her journals, and I love it!! The bag is great, the colours are beautiful - and I wonder if you have dyed the fabrics?? My guess about spending money?? Let's say $600??
Ohhhh love the bag, pick me, pick me :)
Hmmmm depends upon if you were wanting to be frugal or you were totally out to treat yourself??
I'm going to guess somewhere in the middle....$375??

I have the Olfa circle cutter and can't get it to work right. Feel like it is a waste. Guess money spent $777.00
Like all your other commenters, I love the colors of the bag! (Why else would we all read a blog called "Color My World"?) I'll guess you spent $430 in Long Beach.

I SAW your purchases and still can't guess what you spent! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it, though.
I'm guessing about twenty bucks!
Your loving husband, Mike
I know how much I would be tempted to spend, but I am going with $199.
