Hello again,
Sorry to have been away for so long - no excuses, just life and taxes getting in the way of my fun!
Spring has finally sprung into an abundance of weeds and other flowers - the tulips were so beautiful this year -
...and then we had a really nasty cold hard rain, and now they are all bare stems.....
The daffodils suffered a similar fate before I could get a picture. Maybe next year!
I had a wonderful Mother's Day - totally spoiled and pampered.
I've been doing a little sewing and quilting, but nothing quite ready for exposure just yet!
I did say I would post more pics of the Cincinnati quilt show, so here's what I have - keep in mind that each of these is a small section of the show - these pics were taken from the second story walkway.
 |
| Special exhibits in the far left corner... Quilts with Words, Canadian quilts, and quilters photography | |
|
 |
| vendors in foreground also had wonderful quilts on display! |
 |
| notice the 'rest area' on the right side? lots of tired feet! |
|
 |
| rows 400, 500 and 600 - do you see Pat Sloan? She's in Row 400 on the end! |
The quilts lined the walls to the left of the aisles above, and further to the right---- too far away to show up in the photos, but lots of them, including Baltimore style, Susan Shie, SAQA exhibit, and lots more.....
 |
| LOTS of shopping opportunities, too! |
 |
| see those stencils on the lower left? they double as silk screens! awesome! |
 |
| the middle aisle, right side... check out those handbags! |
 |
| the other end of aisles 400, 500, 600, etc. |
 |
| center aisle - 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, gasp! |
 |
| some of the vendor booths were really crowded.... |
 |
| this vendor is selling heirloom sewing/embroidery patterns that make everything "in the hoop"!! fascinating! |
 |
Triptych made for Fiber Art Traders swap - mine is in the middle!
...on the left is by Sandra Smith and on the right is by Sharon Wildwind |
I've been celebrating the Artist in Me with a little fabric dyeing, silk painting, and watercolor dabbling - but I really must get to finishing something with all my artsy goodies!
...and then we had a really nasty cold hard rain, and now they are all bare stems.....
I am just so GREEN with ENVY. You are just going to have to inspire me more.
ReplyDeleteso glad you had such a good time.
TheaM - Thank you for your encouraging words! It really helps to know that I'm not along in thinking that AB is a little wacky sometimes. Looks like you had a great time at that quilt show! :) Take care!
ReplyDelete*alone - not "along"
ReplyDeleteI should probably read what I write before posting! :p
