what an exciting day! I had a blast sharing the love of quilting, shopping, eating and laughing with 6 other friends! It was a fully packed van!
I was on a set budget and did fairly well in keeping in that budget. I purchase 2 items that I wanted to get and an extra bonus item I'm totally in love with. I was good and didn't purchase any fabric --though I came sooo close to purchasing a $150/kit, I did pick up a cheap little $12 kit instead. I got my show pin and a group pin.
Here's my newest booty (l-r: my second thread catcher for my travel hand work bag, a pattern for hanging my pin collection on, my new pins, and my bonus project bag with tons of zipper pockets directly from Pat Sloan---oh did I mention I talk to Pat? :) ) :
And Eva and Laura got me this cute t shirt (I don't own a quilting t shirt):
We had a wonderful time and I think we all did well on our shopping budgets! I think we are done with shows until next year.
We did see a lot of quilts that were shown at the Lancaster Show in April. There was a nice selection of quilts and highly impressed with all the appliqued ones. Here's my gallery of all the pictures I took. I do have last year's pictures still up, if you are interested here as well.
I think my favorite quilt was this one:
We did get our tradition group picture- this one was taken in front of our own guild quilt (Four County Quilt Guild) which we (as a guild) have entered the past two years' raffle quilts for judging into Quilt Odyssey. Eva got a better picture, poor Jane likes to look around when the camera is snapping :) l-r: Donna, Cheryl, Me, Jane, Eva, Pam and Laura (trip virgin to our group) in front.
I'm beat as I'm typing this post up after our trip....Sunday will be recouping day :)
Wonderful goodies! Love the t-shirt.
ReplyDelete[...] Thanks goes to The Quilting Pirate for sharing her favorite eye candy from her trip to Hershey. This quilt is truly inspirational. Go here for more photos. [...]
ReplyDeletesounds like a great time. Is that the quilt that the ladies made separately, then put together? They live in different countries.
ReplyDeleteI read about it somewhere.
Nice goodies, great job staying in your budget...hard to do at a quilt show.
Loved your guild's quilt-it was one of my favorites! My other favorite was the wood scene with the 3-D mushrooms. The landscape quilts were amazing this year.
