We left Maine early Tuesday
morning so that we could have a full day on Wednesday (opening day) to enjoy
the show. We had planned to be there through Friday afternoon, but due to one
of wonderful New England spring storms, we headed back early Friday morning. So
unfortunately, I did not get to meet up with any fellow bloggers.
I did take a picture of Julie Sefton’s (Quilt Diva Julie) wonderful quilt from her "Build a Barn" book in the author’s room. She said it was o.k. to take a silly
picture. Can’t get much sillier than me! Beautiful quilt Julie!
Our friend Karen is a big Jenny Doan (Missouri Star Co.) fan. Jenny wasn't there so we had to take a picture of the next best thing!
Here are a few more antique quilts that we saw at the second show a few miles down the road.
this one was my favorite
And these gems are from Betty
Neff from Pennsylvania. Visit her website (here).
Her quilts are absolutely beautiful.
I am NOT a paper piecer, but I did buy her “triangles on a roll” to piece those
tricky pointy triangle borders. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. Wink
It was hard to leave for the
frozen north after seeing these pansies in the square outside the hotel!
Happy Spring!
I love your silly photos. its your wonderful happy personality shining through! Gosh you saw so many wonderful quilts. The ones at the second show are amazing!!
