Friday's Quilt Show, and a Busy Two Weeks!


I can't recall when I've had more things to do and more places to be than I've had the past two weeks!  Every day and several nights had something going that I had to attend, and most of them involved work of some kind.  I'm not accustomed to all that, and besides, I'm an old lady!  I won't bore you with all those details.  I did get a little (mighty little!) sewing done, but I'll save that for another time.

I want to tell you that the last two days of last week were fun, fun, fun!

On Friday a friend and I went to the Trinity Valley Quilt Show in Fort Worth and saw lots of beautiful quilts, and of course, we shopped through all the vendors.  I held my hands together tightly so I couldn't open my wallet very much, but my eyes enjoyed the quilts!  Here's a few I liked a lot.

Best of Show
Fabrics from Australia --- Guess who this reminded me of?

This one also reminded me of a couple of our APQ buddies.  The next picture explains that.  Click to read the entire card.


This had a few tiny jewels attached; it fascinated me a lot.  Cute!
Named "You've Got Mail";  see the envelopes?  Reminded me of my daddy, a postman.

My favorite; no doubt you would know that!


The next day, Saturday, we went to Glen Rose, Texas, to see the Granbury Guild Show, which is a few miles north of Glen Rose.  I guess they arranged for a better show area.  One thing for sure, they had a great show with really quality quilts throughout!  I think maybe I'd better do a separate post rather than overload this one with more pictures.  

So be sure to check out my next post for Saturday's quilt show too.  I'll post it right behind this one.  

Two days straight on my feet all day after the previous ten days really wore me out!  I'm still trying to rest up, but the fun we had was worth it!

  1. The Baltimore style quilt is beautiful. The pots of flowers in the next quilt is an interesting quilt. Not only the variety of flowers but the setting.
