Well I'm home from the quilt show! Whew what a day, so many vendors, so many quilts. There was a applique quilt of a sea turtle in the water and it didn't win a ribbon and I'm baffled as to why. It was so beautiful. Bought some quilting thread and a neat pattern for a hot air balloon quilt, looks pretty neat. I walked and walked and walked. What fun. Every local quilt shop was there - so many new things to see, ideas to get. I saw one quilt on display - are you ready for this - it has over 9900 squares in it!!!! Tiny little 4 patch blocks and tiny will star blocks. Whew a lot more than I would have tried. I think my girlfried took a pix, if she did I'll post it. I don't have a camera or cell phone (duh) so I couldn't take any pix. (hubby has the cell). So many demos of really cool rulers and stuff. I told myself before I left NO MORE FABRIC, and I was a good girl, I didn't buy any fabric! *giggle*

Another post meant for CHAT category. :-))) (just to help us all learn)
Regulations will be posted as soon as they are finalised. :-))) hugs n roses, Meganne

Glad you had a good day. NO fabric - but what other things did you buy?

You didn't buy any fabric but did you buy other things?

You are a good girl for meeting your goal! I am proud of you! Glad yo enjoyed the show! Live Laugh Download Stitch!

Glad you are home safe and sound. And it sounds like it was a wonderful day for you.

Sounds like fun! Now when you get your hot air balloon quilt finished be sure and show it to us.

You need to take a road trip to Paducah Ky to the Quilt Museum....it's was past any words I have to describe it. It does sound like you had a great trip and say lots of amazing things! I hope you can get the pic of the quilt to post. That would be interesting to see. ;)

My goodnes sounds like you had a wonderful day, and what will power. I would never be able to not purchase fabric like you did.
Hugs Joann

So it seems you had a nice day. I have never been to a quilt show. I think it is amazing when you see all those things. would be hard for me not to buy things

Glad y'all had a good day! I really enjoy looking at intricately, beautifully made quilts! It amazes me, when I view the talent of many quilters!
Hugs,
Angel

Good for you!! Sticking to your guns and not buying any fabric. I'll bet not many of us would have that kind of will power!! Glad you had a great day. Your head must be swimming with a lot of new ideas now. Can't wait to see some of your projects.
