I leave for QuiltCon in just four days, and I am honestly bursting with excitement. In this On Saturdays, I Sew! episode (February 14th), I’m doing what I love most—creating—and getting myself ready to hit the convention floor with a brand-new bag I’m really proud of. This is one of those feel-good, real-life crafting moments where I’m making something practical, but also something that makes the whole trip feel even more special. I talk about how I’m prepping for QuiltCon and why having the right bag matters when you’re planning to toodle around a big show all day—comfort, function, and that “I made this!” joy. If you’re into sewing, quilting, or bag making, this video is a little reminder that the best part is the making itself, especially when there’s a fun event on the horizon. The big takeaway: when I’m short on time, I focus on making something I’ll actually use, and I let the excitement of the trip fuel the creativity.
