Quilt Show

Last Labor day weekend my husband labored all three days cutting down some dead trees on our property and chopping them into firewood for the winter. He has one more big one to cut down but during the week I casually mentioned that there was a quilt show in Wilkesboro. So this Saturday morning I expected him to want to cut down the other tree but he said he would like to go to Wilkesboro and take me to the show. Well, who is going to say no to that! So off we went.

The quilt show is not judged and I believe it is an annual show according to some of my guild members that I saw at the show. The judges are the people who attend. At the entrance we were handed a paper with the categories of quilts. After viewing the quilts we then circled a number in each category of the quilt we liked the best. We don't know who got the ribbons but it was a very nice show.

There were some vendors who came to sell their wares. As you can see I did not buy much. The reds and aquas are for Jane's swap.

Now let's get to the quilts. This first one was a trip around the world and I just took a picture of the quilting because I really like the leaves.





This quilt was hand pieced and hand quilted.
Maybe one day I will be able to get my quilting stitches this little. It was fabulous.
We were handed a little brochure that showed a barn quilt trail in Wilkes county. It is a collaborative effort from the Wilkes County Quilters Guild and the Cultural Arts Council of Wilkes to hang pictures of quilts around the county for viewers to see. We saw these two which were in town.
