Last!!! Horray - I here you say :lol:
Hope you enjoyed the show.

Tisha

Wow!! Beautiful quilts!!! What a treat!!
Love your fabrics, dont think I have ever seen or heard of the Purple Thang!

Thanks for the quilt show. I loved them all. There was a lot of work and talent there.

Your purchases were fun! I have lots of indigos from S Africa. Are yours really stiff? Mine were until I washed them, now they are so yummy feeling. Did they give you washing instructions for them? They bleed like crazy!!

I have never purchased a Purple Thang but I have friends that swear by them. You should enjoy it.

Tisha,

Great pics. What a great show.

And great fabrics...cant wait to see some of those in a quilt.

Glad you had a good time.

Wow I feel like I was right there in your pocket.....Stunning thanks for sharing!

Great Sunday morning jaunt to this beautiful quilt show. Thanks for all the effort to give this treat to us.

Ladies many thanks for all the lovely comments, don't know how but afew of my WIP's got in there somehow!!! Bizzare to say the least. LOL.

Marcia - I wasn't given any washing instructions with the SA fabrics, however many thanks for the nod regarding the fabric bleeding. :wink:
I shall keep that in mind & yes it's extremely stiff they had a sample of the fabric which they had pre washed several times as you said it feels so fine & silky soft. :D

XYZ - Yippee! :lol:

Another Purple Thang owner, it was as cheap as chips only £3.00 ($6).
I have seen it being used on a tutorial somewhere on the net & when I spotted it I knew I just had to have one. Can never have enough of these handy little gadgets. I was hoping to find a wooden Paper Piecing Seam Presser, the one's I did see were plastic which seemed to be too pliable. Not to worry I'll adventually find one no doubt.
Glad you enjoyed the show :D

Thanks so much for the show! I look at some of those quilts and think "am I ever going to be that creative?". Unbelievable, they're gorgeous.

I loved the show. Thank you so much for showing it. :-D

That was a super show. Felt I was walking around the NEC with you.

Beautiful quilts and lots of goodies you got there. Went for broke heh

Thanks for the great quilt show and I did'nt even spend any money! Darn!!!!! I loved all of them!
What is a purple thang? I'm the dummie here!

Thanks for the show Tisha!!! and I can't believe you got to see the grand winning quilt from the Paduca Quilt Show!! I would have loved to see that beauty up close. And I loved the idea of the grandmother's garden in blues and blacks. I would have never thought of those colors but boy oh boy it was divine! Great haul for you too! Please post more from the next show!!

Love your pics Tisha, you took so many more than I did when I was there, I think I was too busy being blown away by all the gorgeous pieces of work.

One of the most stunning ones for me was the black and white one, as mentioned in the previous post by adyldrop;

What a wonderful show! Thanks for sharing the pictures with us. I was blown away by all the talent and creativity shown. Your purchases are fun too! Love the Dutch fabrics!

Many beautiful quilts. They must have taken years to complete. My favorite one is the trees.

I love the quilts, I like the mini and wallhangings, so many that are different than anything I'

oooh what a show!!!! Don't you find when you come out of one of those shows the inspiration is just pouring out and you can't WAIT to play at the sewing machine again!!!

Thanks so much for posting those photos they were amazing!!!!

I loved the funky three part circles wallhanging. I would love to try one of those sometime.

Looks like you hauled in some gorgeous fabrics for your stash and lots of great books. I have the Debbie Mumm book and love it!

Thanks for sharing. Lovely stuff. My fave is Noahs Ark.

I've enjoyed looking at these over and over again. Each time I find something else to admire. This time I've centered my interest on the chickens and the tiger. :D Thank you for posting all these lovely things.
