Quilt Show Closing

We had another great show day yesterday. I was surprised by my friend, Peggy we toured the show and had a very nice lunch at the Teapot Depot Express. A very special shout out to her for driving 30 minutes or so to get to our quilt show!

I was asked to do a demo at 2:30 on the Easy Angle ruler, so David wanted to see me do my demo and came up to watch me and then help us all take down the show. He did an amazing job; he offered to take all of our poles that we hang our quilts on to drill holes in the ends. Our current way we use them isn’t this best, so we brought them all to our house.

I have to say it was kind of sad saying goodbye to all of the quilts. They just make me happy, but they had to go to their respective homes and that is what happened. Now all of my quilts are back home and hopefully sometime today I get them back to their place in our house.

Linda H did a bed turning for us 2 times on Friday and 2 times on Saturday; she really did a good job. I thought I would share pictures of her quilts.

the first quilt Linda showed

this one she mentions how they would “make do” by using what they had

the block on the bottom row was done incorrectly, see how the half square are turned wrong and she didn’t fix it.

I think she called this one “sugar loaf”

this one is a log cabin

I love the double Irish Chain

this one was a unique Windmill pattern

this one was made by her great grandmother. I hope I got that right.

this one is a lovely double wedding ring

a dresden plate

I think she called this one a Kansas sunflower, shown in Kansas City Star in the 1930’s

this is the backing, they used feed and flour sacks

this one is a family treasure and was well loved

this one was made of polyester, it was heavy and very warm. We all loved Poly Ester in the 70’s. tee hee

this one she bought from some Amish ladies while she worked in PA.

her prized crazy quilt

Thank you, Linda for sharing all of your quilt treasures!

Unfortunately I did not win the raffle quilt! Darn it! I sure wanted it, I do not know the person who won it, and Jayne C sold the ticket. She is one lucky lady!

I think the last of us rolled out about 6; I know I was home and unpacked by 6:30. My reward was going to Gringo’s for my Mexican food fix! It was just wonderful to be able to completely relax!

For some reason I woke up a little before 2:00 a.m. and I could not go back to sleep so about 2:40 I got up and decided that I could start putting things away and went back to bed a little after 4. At least I was somewhat productive. Today I might even get to sew some! Wahoo!

I hope your daily threads are good to you, love and hugs!
