This AM my grt grand dgtr picked me up & took me to the Chisholm Trail Quilt Guild quilt show in Round Rock, TX. What a wonderful day spent admiring so many beautiful quilts (& having lunch) w/a special lady.
It had been years since I've been to a quilt show & saw so much creative talent. Like I had suspected probably at least 75% of them were machine quilted, & I got to see my 1st long arm quilter. Hopefully in the future they will have enough of both hand & machine quilted to have 2 categories for judging purposes. I feel it is hard to be able to fairly judge a machine vs hand quilted items.
Regardless, the time for me was filled w/beauty & I came away wishing I could be more creative.
Only took a few pics as got pretty crowed early. Here are some of them. Besides the ribbons, each winner received a very cute, creative quilted 'hot pad' (attached to each ribbon)
Thanks for checking them out -
