I have been so busy with the show that I haven't had much time to walk around and see the quilts or shop, maybe today. I grabbed a few pictures of some of the show winners for you to see, enjoy! Only one more day! The show has been crazy busy, much better than it has been in years so the vendors are happy. My Fabulous Folded bag has been selling like crazy as have many of my patterns. I am thankful to be able to restock each night as I live 1/2 hour from the show. Long 9 hour days and constant talking has left me hoarse but my voice is recovery each night enough to go another day. Lots of fun seeing friends I haven't seen in years and meeting new ones. Here are some of the winning quilts, enjoy!!
Best of Show, sorry the quality isnt great, I thought my iphone 5 had a better camera!
Followers- I hope you will think about following me so I can come and follow you!
