Exciting Quilt Days spent with Friends! Part 1




Wendy theconstantquilter.blogspot.com and I went to the Shelburne Museum in Vermont for a quilt study meeting of the New England members of American Quilt Study Group.  Randy  barristersblock.blogspot.com accompanied us since she was in the neighborhood!  

Wonder what's this wrapped invitingly in fabric (a Favorite, of course!)????


















A Pincushion from Randy!  I think I have a collection started by accident!




We stayed at the T-Bird Motel in Shelburne......nice and clean!  Friendly staff!



Cool T-Bird!  Don't know what year, but am guessing 1950's-60's??

Instead of saving the best for last, I think I will start with the last Show & Tell which was one of the best!  Thanks, Sharon Waddell, for allowing us to show photos of your marvelous quilt!  Very unusual quilt with a star in the center made of hexagons in fabulous fabrics!  Surrounded by More hexagons and a leaf border.  Followed by more random hexagons!  Huge quilt measuring about 100" x 100".










This is just a taste of all the fabulous quilts/fabrics we saw!   
 And oh yeah.....the Scrap Box is almost full again!




Time to call it a day.....I am tired and I need to rest up for working in shop tomorrow!  This is what was left on the porch for me to unpack, cut halves and quarters, and find shelf room for!


I know it is "Savannah" a pink/brown line from Washington Street Studios (P&B) and "Baltimore Blues" from Barbara Brackman.

Mary Koval's "Rhapsody in Blue" arrived last week.............. Luscious!!!.

  1. Oh, how fun! I have one of the sisters of that little pincushion!
    What an incredible quilt. That must have been something to study. Thanks for sharing the photos!
    Must be SO delightful to open up the boxes and stroke all of that pretty fabric before you start cutting it up. : )
