Our second annual trip to the quilt show was today!
It is held in a beautiful convention center and the space is huge and filled with everything quilt lovely!
Most of the quilts were in camera-free zones but we did have to do the selfie again this year!
Last year the main thing that struck us was the occurrence of many medallion quilts; this year the recurring theme was to me-Hunter Star blocks! I saw them large and miniature and tucked in sample quilts-since it is the most recent Accuquilt die I have purchased, I can't wait to put it to use!

I bought a few things-a pattern using a different paper piecing technique and a kitty inspired charm pack.
Oh, and I brought home this little portable sewing machine I have been eyeing online; it was on show-sale pricing and I couldn't resist!
It weighs less than half my studio sewing machine!
It will be so much easier to take to classes or to Mom's for sewing days!
What a great blessing to have such an adventure with my Mom and to love being with her!
Looks like a FUN time!!
ReplyDeleteSo awesome that you can enjoy this stuff with your mom. Enjoy! Make memories. They will last a lifetime. Love the new sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun adventure...so glad you could do it together! "Meow or Never" -- that's great!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to a quilt show. That one looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteArgh!! I could have been there. If only I had known I would have flown down for a fews days. My sister just flew in yesterday to join my parents. I've got to get a handle on fun things to do in Daytona and keep a calendar. I usually end up looking once we get there, better to start planning trips around events!
ReplyDeleteI bet it was fantastic. Great job scoring that machine. Hugs.
