A Quilt Show~

While I was gone in June, I was able to attend the Heartland Quilters Guild Show in Mitchell, SD. 
This may be a small guild~ but they blow me away with their talent!
Sara is a member, and so is my Mom. :-)
The funny thing is that I met Sara through blogging first. :-)
Now I look forward to seeing her when I visit my parents.
She made this very cool SD placemat for a door prize~~
and I won!!! :-) 

I still can't believe I won! :-)

The members made things for door prizes~ just look at all the prizes they gave away!

And that is just on the wall! My placemat and a lot of other things were on the table tops.

I didn't take photo's of all the quilts, but I wanted to show you a couple. This one won best of show, by A.

A close up~


Isn't is a beauty? She does her own longarm quilting too. :-)

And this cutie is by L~

And she made a mini to go with it! It is hand embroidered and I think hand quilted too.
There are a good number of hand quilters in their guild and it is a good thing most
of the quilts were hung up!~  They were all drool-worthy! ;-)

     I think this might be one of Sara's quilts (?). I love stars!

And P made a whole quilt of yo-yo's! :-o

Isn't it amazing?!!

The ladies in the guild are all so nice~ they made me a honorary member...
or maybe they just said that so I'd work a shift as a white glove lady. ;-)
I didn't mind a bit~ it was so much fun! 

That's all for today~
Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!!

What fun! I always love atending the smaller guild's quilt shows.

Honorary member???? You'd better be careful or they will draft you into a big job soon!! ;-)

I think lots of our members look forward to your visits back to see your mom and your help at the show was a bonus! Thanks!!

And you are correct - the blue stars quilt is mine. I won the blocks at a Saturday Sampler. Stars are one of my most favorite blocks - any kind of star.

Thank you for sharing- what a time for my computer to crash. I had lots of pictures. Hope you can visit again for our next show. It is bi-annual as we have a shop- hop bus trip in 2015

B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
