Old Tippe Quilt Show

The quilt show was great. I'm always so inspired by all the local talented quilters. Thank you so much to all involved with putting on the show. I know a lot of behind the scenes work happened and I so appreciate it.

The trading post was full of goodies but all I purchased were 2 partial cones of thread and some ric-rac.... my purchase total was $1.

I watched a demo from Betty Campbell on Drunkards Path blocks again and I really want to try those.

I turned in my 2nd NICU quilt and also a womans shelter quilt, but I neglected to take photos before I left home.

Chicago Quilt Show

Tommorrow morning I will board the bus along with 25 guild members to attend the Greater Chicago Quilt Exposition in Shamburg, IL. My friend Shelly is the coordinator of the bus trips and has always done a great job. I have been busy planning a couple fun activities for the bus trip and here is a sneak peek of what I've been working on.



I have a quilt ready for the hand stitching on the binding to keep me busy also.

My shopping list includes some thread for Mabel and maybe some rulers and pantographs if there are any to be had. I also have placed an order with Accomplish Quilting and just have to pick it up from their booth.
