Day 8 of Thanksgiving: I'm so very thankful I could walk the whole convention center floor! Over 3 miles!
Here we go, the blond headed daughter and I. Off to soak in all there is at the BIGGEST quilt festival--so much to see and so little time. We had only Sunday to view all our eyes could hold-- there are grand prize winners, small quilts, antique quilts, story quilts, painted quilts, the special exhibits and the SHOPPING! The aisles are less crowded and it is much easier to view
the quilts.
The main aisle leading from the quilt section to the vendor section--we began on Aisle
T--walking in a zig-zag pattern to view quilts on the right hand side; then a turn at the
end of Aisle A to do the other right side--back and forth--it seemed like a logical
system
We did venture out Hall B to the find some lunch about halfway through
our adventure--
Oh, look there is even a Husbands' lounge--a peek in and
you see big comfy lounge chairs with blaring TV with
football game and one lonely husband.
There was a special section with
Sue Garman quilts--what a treat to
see her artisty onndisplay
We enjoyed seeing each and every one of the 75 quilts on display.
Mama said! what a great quilt to present to your child
and around each block were words of wisdom--all the things that
Mama would say!
Here are her seasons' quilts
And this is the one she was working on while she was ill--
love it--looks so much like an overshot weaving
blue and white is impressive!
Colorful fabrics
Fabrics of every color
Lots of 'sparkly' quilts--which doesn't show on the camera
but brilliant under the bright lights on the floor
Many quilt with black backgrounds too--
the winners were awesome, but there are so many more in the big
aisles that are just as impressive and beautiful!
We walked till our legs couldn't do it anymore--so much to see
and the brain is now in "overload!"
