Yes, of course bought some fabric, even though I need more of it like I need a hole in the head! But I couldn't resist these asian-inspired panels. I also bought some needles and some plastic sticky things to go on the back of my ruler to keep it from slipping when I cut.Patricia Kiyonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763838993363110626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797770643290331847.post-61131032186325423132013-08-16T13:36:59.868-04:002013-08-16T13:36:59.868-04:00The street scene was one of my favorites, too.

She worked on quilting every day, but I was only five or six and was more interested in playing outdoors than sitting still. :( Loraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03642869592750484556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797770643290331847.post-27233705185240965072013-08-15T21:46:46.976-04:002013-08-15T21:46:46.976-04:00Lovely quilts, and how lucky you got to go.

I don't know if a free, vendor less show is better than a paid admission one with vendors. I like to do some shopping and check out the newest whatever. Did you buy anything?Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455712281979335283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797770643290331847.post-20377036726415443422013-08-15T21:45:25.871-04:002013-08-15T21:45:25.871-04:00wow, those are fantastic. particularly the street...wow, those are fantastic. particularly the street scene at top left. I had an aunt who quilted and she made, for each of us siblings, a quilt for a single bed. We don't have any single beds anymore, but I still treasure the quilt. It has suffered a few stains and a tear or two in these 50+ years, but I still love it.Jeff Salterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421814112373034336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797770643290331847.post-65263435601356160292013-08-15T21:20:58.229-04:002013-08-15T21:20:58.229-04:00Wow.
