2008 Maine Quilt Show

My passion is Quilting
I could never quilt too much...
My good friend (and fellow quilter), Rita and I headed up to Augusta
on Friday morning to see the Maine Quilt Show.
We were like 2 little kids, so excited to see what was there this year
and new from last years exhibts.
Just loved this pattern...


Look at all the detail in this quilt...I wonder how
many hours it took her to do it....perfect!


Handwork was unbelievable


Wish my points could come out like this one!


Beautiful Sampler



a Maine scene
Picture doesn't do it justice


White on White
This had to be the best one I saw
I could never imagine doing something so beautiful as this
Awesome detail
Log Cabin...one of my all time favorite patterns

Colors are so well blended

And now for the whimsical ones...
For those who don't know the rules of quilting...
You should never touch a quilt on show without
wearing white gloves...
As you can see, these little girls did and now are
in trouble!
I have this pattern and it's on my list of ones to do...
Adorable!
For all those husbands that got dragged to the show....

Witch's brew....

One for Florida...
Rita and I spent almost 4 hours at the show and enjoyed every second. After relaxing at a leisurely lunch, we headed up to Waterville to shop at one of our favorite fabric places....Marden's....
It was a great day:) and we both headed home with visions of our next projects spinning in our heads.

Okay, Joni . . . be honest . . . how much fabric did you buy?

There is a great outdoor quilt show in Sisters, Oregon, that I love to visit. It's pretty easy to spend four hours at one, eh?
