Historic Giveaway

Hello!
Part of my busy fall schedule included attending the American Quilt Study Group Seminar in Manchester, NH.  It is a wonderful organization that concentrates on American Quilts through study and research.
To celebrate my first seminar, I'm giving away my Windham Fabric favor, the seminar book, so you can see what kind of events are included, a NH quilt card and a one yard piece of George Washington fabric.

AQSG Seminar - New Hampshire
The Bed Turning event on Thursday was absolutely wonderful.  Eight tables of quilts hosted by the owners who provided details.
Here is Wendy (Constant Quilter) and Cindi (Busy Thimble) at their table of Maine quilts.  Thank you ladies they were fabulous!
I had to laugh, Wendy did a post with no photos, but she is in nearly everyone of mine, ha ha.

Here are some of the quilts we enjoyed~
A small group of us visited the Manchester Historical Association to look at their swatch books.
I was obsessed with this line of Grant/Wilson fabric.
Note the eyeglasses in the border along with Grant's initials.
 His coat, and beets (?) and read the words -
Hatchet, scythe, top hat, glasses and initials -aaaahhhhh!!  so good!
 I almost fainted from delight in seeing this fabric.

The live auction was on Saturday.  I loved this one - but it got away.
 Awesome blocks.  I've seen this many times in antique quilts.
 Here is the one that I got - a great folk art 4-block summer spread.  I'll share a better photo when it stops raining here in CT.
We were sorting over 400 items of the silent auction.  I'll share more about that next time.

Here is the start of my basket project.  Feel like making some baskets?
