I'm so Grateful that I decided to drive up for the Festival and that I survived my scary hotel. How awesome is this quilt?

The main reason I went was to meet up with Friends. I met Randy and Clare from the West Coast and Wendy and her 'sisters'. It was wonderful to share the show with these ladies!

Congratulations to Blair!! I shared her quilt in this post. I have to say I was proud to see my Baptist Fan Stencil used on this Blue Ribbon quilt. Click on my Etsy button if you want one for yourself.

Festival Quilts in no particular order.... enjoy!
Hip Hip Hooray for Wendy! After a sleepless night thinking she didn't get a ribbon, her well deserved Blue Ribbon was attached the next morning. It made for a great redemption story.
Little Nutmeg tried to tag along with me.....
look how small these diamonds are and the basket block. Aaaahhh.
love, love, love
I met up with Christine at the show and here is her fabulous Hexie quilt. I always love her work and admire her hand workmanship. She's also genuine and very nice.
I hope you enjoyed the photos, there were many more quilts but I was so busy chatting and laughing and making plans for "adult beverages" that I missed many.
The only way to keep Nutmeg off my quilt and out of my hoop, was to give her her own :)
I'll be back soon with the Antique Quilts and Scrap Quilts from the Pepper Cory lecture.
Happy Fourth of July. I do hope our Country will return to its Founding Principles one day soon. I'm not feeling particularly proud to me an American at the moment.
