Our Fall Festival Quilt Show

Today was Fall Festival and Triangle Guild held a quilt show at the Riverside Academy in Whitney Point.
This is Caleb's quilt, made from Eleanor Burns Quick Trips book.

Mary Hibbard's One Block Wonder Quilt.

My Roosters and Chickens wall hanging. The poultry fabric came from the scrap basket at Keepsake Quilting in NH some years ago. I used a feather stitch on the strips around the roosters and hens and machine quilted corn leaves on the border.

Sue McDonald's quilt from the Fons and Porter's Cutting Bee book. At least six years ago Sue had an idea after seeing this book. She sold the quilt retreat organizers on doing this on Saturday morning. After a lot of confusion we swapped the strips we'd cut at home. I've only seen a few quilts made from this swap. My Jacob's Ladder is a UFO. Maybe before next year's shows.

Mary Hibbard who is the Superintendent of Schools at Whitney Point and also a quilter.

Margo holding a squash Steve Aboff carved. Steve and his wood carvers group were on hand again this year to carve pumpkins. Margo and her husband raised the pumpkins.

It was a great day, beautiful weather, no rain like we had the previous three years.

We set up a sewing center and had kits cut for pillowcases.

Beth's Water Lilies from Quick Trips. This was made for her daughter who is a fan of Claude Monet.

Here are some of the pillowcases we made for Conkerr Cancer. We think we made 32 today.
In the center of the pillowcases is an adult clothing protector that we made for residents of the NYS Veterans' Home at Oxford, NY.

It was a great day to sew, visit with old friends, meet new ones, do a bed turning a number of times and visit the vendors. I brought home a delicious apple pie.

Now off to bed.
