I wasn't sure how to begin my blog so I decided to share today's fun filled day! This morning my mama (JonElla), my friend Pat Nave (Grammy Pat) and I drove down to Reardan! A whole 15 minutes from my home! What awaited us there was the most amazing beautiful quilt show and shopping at some wonderful vendors! All set out in the country on a breath taking farm! This quilt show is VERY famous and women come from ALL over to attend! I can certainly see why! There are sooooo many quilts hanging on lines outside, tacked on the side of the barns, hanging from a tree, laying over the fences...beauty and amazing creativity is what I saw. I am so glad I brought my camera! Grammy Pat is a quilter and although I am not YET I loved oohing and ahhing over every single one of them. My mom is not a quilter either however had a blast just looking and hanging out together for a few hours on a Saturday!
This is one of my favorites! Ol' Glory quilted to look like she's waving in the breeze!
Beautiful abc sampler
Everything's better with COKE!
These were very interesting and unusual. Painted scenes with stories journaled on them.
Lots of very intricate design!
An all time favorite of mine!
More amazing quilts!!!!
These pictures are just the tip of the iceberg, however an iceberg would have melted in the heat! After the quilt show we went to lunch at Dean's Drive-In also in Reardan! YUMMY way to end a simply perfect day!
P.S. Barbara Jordan you have to come out from Georgia to this spectacular event!
Wow how fabulous ! I love the way this writer is so descriptive with her story. I feel as thoughI went to the quilt show with her and even lunch. I think the pictures are perfect and not too many either. I really like her day. I look forward to her many more blogs to read. THe quilts are really such a timeless beauty. I have done a small myself. Would love to learn to do a larger one. Well have fun and again thank you for your sharing of a fantastic day! Wish I was there.
