I just know you had a great time....now spilll...what all did you buy?? :lol:

Patti---It was a wonderful show---I was there Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. Eleanor Burns and Jan Patek were both there and I got to talk to both of them (even had my pic taken with Jan and she autographed a pattern I bought :D ) I bought MORE Civil War reproduction fabrics, some wools, several patterns and gifts for a few friends. I could have spent a LOT more money, but I used restraint---and that was NOT easy!!!

I wish you could have been there too!!

Beautiful quilts Marcia. Thanks so much for sharing your pictures from the show. Isn't it fun to go to shows and see all the various quilt techniques and color placements. Some of them are gorgeous and I have to say some of the quilts I saw were....um... interesting.

Gayle---"Interesting" is EXACTLY how I felt about some of the ones I saw there too. :lol:

I am not an art quilter and batiks are not my favorites (don't throw stones at me, all you batik lovers :wink: ) BUT I do appreciate the imagination, time and talent that goes into every quilt. I know that there are lots of different tastes on our board, so I took pics of a variety of quilts so that there was something for every interest. I hope everyone can find at least one that appeals to them.
