What you missed . . . . .

if you didn't make it to the quilt show in Sumter.  I was amazed at the number of quilts in this show.  And the quality of the quilts.  It was held in an old historic building that now houses the Sumter County Fine Arts Council among other things.  Beautiful architecture.

Also, a little awkward setting up the booth.  The vendors were to set up in the dining hall.  Here is my space before I set up . . . . . I won't bore you with another of my booth setups.

But look at the architectural details!

Here are a few of the many quilts they had . . . . .

first one of plaids.  Boy, do I have enough plaids to do several of these.


And a penny rug quilt . . . . .


And some more fun ones that I just liked . . . . .

And the detail . . . .

Look what you can do with giant rick-rack !


Or with leftover hexagons !



And more plaids !


It's late and I need to sign off for tonight.  Hope you enjoyed this little visit and get inspired like I did!

Blessings, Cathi

I like the pineapple quilt. Interesting that the interlocking strips were used to form the pineapples.
I have that scarecrow pattern. And old Red Wagon pattern.

Hi Cathi, I am excited to see that plaid version of my design! The last one with the stars and strips. It looks great in plaids! Lots of other really neat quilts too!
