Attending the Local Quilt Show

 Last weekend was a busy one for me - the Vintage Market and our local Quilt Show!  This year our guild, along with four or five other guilds, put on a great Quilt Show at Fulton Montgomery Commuity College.  I was sad that it wasn't at Shenendehowa School, which is only about 5 minutes away from me, but instead I had to drive 50 minutes out to the college.

I didn't make this adorable quilted jacket, but it was one of the things that I loved at the show.  Maybe someday I will make an attempt at making one.

We haven't had our show in four years, because of Covid, and we usually run the show every other year.  There were so many beautiful quilts to see!  You could walk around all day and just keep finding more treasured quilts.  This is one that I loved the best, a little cabin in the "woods."

Here is a photo of the quilt full size!  I think most of the fabrics were Tilda fabrics and it looked so amazing.  Our show doesn't give cash awards, but we do have a judge that we hire to come in to judge the quilts.  I think this quilt won a vendor award and they usually give out fabric prizes to the winners.

This is another quilt that I loved.  The time that it took to put script fabric on each book for the pages, match up the covers with titles on the edges is just amazing.  I would love to make one of these, but I know that I would never finish it, maybe that is one of the reasons why I admired it so.

Close up, you can see the thought and work that went into it.  :)

I spent the entire day at the show, viewing the quilts, hanging out with my quilty friends and checking out the vendor booths.

While there, I was careful to check out the names on the quilts so that I could see what ladies in my guild have made and entered into the show.  It was fun congratulating them and sharing in the excitement of having their quilt in the show.  

Why didn't I put a quilt in the show?  Honestly, I'm not sure.  I could have entered my sewing machine collage quilt or others that I have.  I guess at the time of entry, I couldn't think of anything to enter.  Next time, for sure.  After all, it is on my bucket list of things to do.

One of the booths had this cute bunny panel made into a small quilt.  I loved it so much that I bought it.  We'll see how long it takes for me to actually make it.  PS- I wouldn't hold your breath.  LOL
