Carolina Long Arm Quilt Show Part 1

First I wanted to share with you a blog hop that will be starting very soon. Gudrun has 10 designers lined up for a "Fall-O-Ween" themed hop. Each day will bring a new project. It should be fun to see what each day brings.

Remember this Christmas quilt I showed you a few weeks ago? The Carolina Long Arm Quilters had their show and the lady (Gloria) who did my quilt won a third place ribbon.
Check out this fabulous ribbon that Gloria received. Gloria tried to give it to me but she won it for her quilting. I took the little one above it instead. Gloria also won some other ribbons. I am proud of her.
Before I went to the show I got an email from Mary over at Quilt Hollow and asked if I was going to be at the show. I told her yes and she said she had a gift for me that she has been holding onto until she saw me. I met her a couple years ago at another quilt show.
Mary had been to a be antique show and found this box full of all these buttons. She had also bought some spools and put one in the box for me.
She knows how I look for buttons when I go antiquing myself.
Here some really neat metal buttons.
Look at the shape of these plastic buttons. So cute.
And there was a lone glass button in the mix. Thank you Mary so much for thinking of me and bringing me such a fun gift.

Mary also introduced me to another North Carolinian blogger. Her name is Tonya. Nice to meet you Tonya and maybe will see each other at a quilt show again.

Come back tomorrow and I will show you some of the fabulous quilts that were in the show.

With Passion,
