A wonderful Quilt Show weekend

What a wonderful & exciting weekend I had !

Friday  a friend &  I  drove down to the Sacramento Quilt , Craft and Sewing festival .  When we walked in the first booth I saw was  this oak quilt ladder.  I have been wanting one for a long time and as soon as I got it home I hung some of my quilts on it.  How fun it is going to be to display my seasonal quilts  for Summer  , fall  &  Christmas .




I could not believe my eyes when I saw Sandy Klop !  It was like meeting a celebrity  :-D  She is just the nicest person !  Here booth was just wonderful !   We chatted for quite awhile and then I asked if she would mind if I had our picture taken together.



Saturday I went to the Auburn Quilt show !

The first booth I went to was LYNN WILDER'S of Sew'n Wild Oaks booth another Celebrity !




What a pleasure to finally meet her !   What a SWEETHEART !  I could have sat and chatted all afternoon but as you can see by my picture she &  her sister Gail were very busy .  I knew her booth would be popular.  She is a amazing quilt designer and it was so nice to see her finished quilts in person.  We are hoping to get together soon .




And of course I could not leave without buying her wonderful book  Patchwork Math Using Quilting Design Components . She even autographed it for me :-D



This is what I purchased at the show.

I found the perfect backing fabric for Sugar Trail  quilt !   It is a Jo Morton fabric .


I fell in Love with these Hoffman  " Flames on the Water II " batiks .  I need to find the perfect quilt pattern for these !


What a exciting weekend I had !

Now on to the show !  ENJOY !

  6. Your ladder display is wonderful! I'm so glad you got to meet Lynn, she's amazing! I love her dearly! Hopefully I will cross paths with you one of these days while we're visiting too! Sure wish that upcoming Placerville Quilt Show was on my agenda...I still haven't seen our daughters new house and it's making me crazy(er)!

  7. Thanks for the show! I love that quilt with the ribbons, the one that depicts flowers growing over an old fence.
