Day 1 of the Pittsburgh Creative Arts Festival was amazing! I started the day with the Color Lunch. The Color Lunch opened at 10 am with a box lunch (turkey and cheddar). We also got swag bags with some Berroco yarn, a color wheel, some quilting squares, and other little goodies. I sat at a table of ladies from around the State and another from West Virginia. We had a great time talking and getting to know each other. The Color Lunch started with a block printing craft by creating patterns on stamps and making stamps on cloth. This activity was presented by Nora Peters of The Stitch Party Then we did another color exercise by Julie Stunden to see how colors react with each other. Oh, and did I mention that I won a prize too? A set of circular knitting needles! Now I really need to learn how to knit.

Handmade Arcade
For me, the Handmade Arcade is like Christmas. I get giddy with excitement and this was only my second one! I had already purchased my Early Birdie tickets and my husband came with me again to keep my company (and drive me). There are 170+ vendors! We arrived way too early, 9:30 and hung out until Early Birdie shopping started.
