More pictures of quilts. Gotta love those perfectly matched points in the star.

When can we go again? I think we should make it a weekend road trip next time.

Ya know.. I am REALLY glad that you and OOangel are sooo GREAT at pointing out all the great "lone stars".... you are both MEAN!!!!

We did go to the basement at Lolly's. That is where we had to hold Hanna's Mom back when she wanted to dive into the boat of fat quarters. Honestly, I dared her to get in and sit on the seat so we could take her picture, but I think she didn't want to risk it showing up on facebook one day so she wouldn't do it. Boy we looked at so many FQ's. That was one of the best parts of our trip. The lady that worked there were especially nice too. She gave us a list of different quiting shops and fabric stores to check out. Yep! Lots of fun.

Thats VERY true.. I wanted to get in the boat with all the fabric. I really think that is how heaven is going to be.. LOL! I was afraid we would all get kicked out of there and the boat would tip over if I got in there.. LOL!!!

I took 115 photo's of quilts before my battery ran down.
This was the second annual quilt festival and they have next years on June 22-25 ,2011 put it on the calender so you don't forget.
My cousin and I went down and we met some gals that were on a tour bus from Canada. It was great fun....

Wheres the pictures of the quilts.. I wanna see!!!

OOangel, we may have pushed her too far on the stars!
Sorry Hanna's Mom, say you'll forgive us.
