Flea Market in Las Vegas, New Mexico

Yes, there is a Las Vegas, New Mexico!  It's older than the one in Nevada.  It was where cattlemen like Chisolm met to make big cattle deals.  The Plaza hotel has been around since the 1800's and is where they met to make these deals.  Las Vegas is on the Old Santa Fe Trail that was the main highway in western times.

I thought I would explain a little history because I got calls about being in Nevada.

We were at the Las Vegas flea market on Grand Street on Saturday.  Everyone thought we might have to leave because it was threatening to rain and was extremely cold.  But it finally warmed up around 8 or 9 a.m.

Thank you to all who stopped to see us!  It was nice to meet customers face to face.

We will be at the flea market again next Saturday.  Stop by,  if you are in the area and say hi!

Since I cannot take all my products to the flea market, I am asking for your suggestions.  Please email me and let me know what products you would like to see at the flea market for next Saturday.

The tulip block has encountered some problems and has been shelved for now.  I will continue to work on redesign.  For the meantime, I am working on an oak leaf block and quilt. This particular block is very easily put together. It should be available in June.

This is a preview ---

 

 

I plan to put either another circle or a heart in the middle circle.

I will be making the block in the different colors of a leaf, green yellow, brown, etc.

I haven't decided if this is to be all that's on the block or if I will add some other flourish to it.

Let me know what you think.
