winter quilting

It has been quite a winter and today shows it is not quite over.  I have really enjoyed the few precious beautiful days that encourage us to think Spring is near.  Friday was a special day for going to the Vintage Quilt show at the Kerr Scott building on the fair grounds.  The weather was only outdone by the quality of the quilts shown and the vendors procured for the show.  I think this is my favorite show of the ones I have seen.  It had everything and was so well done.  I really liked that the quilt types were all mixed together.  I can't imagine the coordination it took to get all those up, labeled and listed.  Great work Raleigh Guilds.
And the vendors were so great and so many different ones.  I had to give up after walking and looking and yes buying after four hours.  We went to Tripps to ease the hunger pains before going home.
Great time.
This is my Stitchers Garden quilt center only.  I am going to try to find borders for it today with my color guru Pat with me.  I am so glad to be finished with the "putting blocks together" part.

The next quilt is one I made to practice quilting the baptist fan pattern on before I do it on one for me.

It will be a donation quilt but I want to keep it.  Will have to make another one for me.  So easy and don't you just love a blue border!!!

Well that is all for now.  I have to grab a bite to eat then head out to pick up Pat and pray for temps in the high 30's at least until 10pm.

Spring quilting is on the way.
