If you are ever planning a trip to Vermont I suggest you do it during the Quilt Festival. The show opened last night (Thursday) and goes until Sunday. The quilts are absolutely amazing. I will post a few pics.

There were vendors from all over with the greatest gadgets under the sun.It was a great couple of days. I took a class that was a little chaos. I went in late and I think they were already tired and they were all going on different directions, so I left early and went on and enjoyed the show.I played with all sort of long arm machines, learn to do some fabric marbling, went to lunch with friends, played with a Bernina 830 and a Janome Horizon; what a great machine. I may send a quilt next year.

EAch part is separated from each other, hanging from the top.

Wear comfortable shoes and bring tons of money. You will want to stop at every vendor. The colors of the new fabric lines every where are just amazing. Have fun! There were several buses from Ontario there today.
