Today, I found out what quilt heaven looks like!
Attended a quilt show at the Wolcott Grist Mill.
With you, my audience, in mind
I took lots of pictures of the quilts for your enjoyment.
In a huge old barn,
there were a
large number of quilts on display,
big and small, encompassing
a wide variety of techniques.
But let me first show you
the beautiful surroundings
along the path that led
to this old barn.
It was a beautiful first day of Fall
just cool enough for comfort.
There were
wooden plaques for sale
And stars everywhere!
Little stars and big stars
among sunshine and shadows

Look at that lovely braided quilt on the right |
Stars and more stars!
And a beautiful
stained glass
Mother and Child quilt
DH enjoyed reading about the history
of the Grist Mill but was otherwise
bored out of his mind!
A baby quilt
A Broken Arrows quilt?
A Red and White quilt
This quilt was layered
and ready to be tied.
If you look closely,
you'll see this is a Crayon quilt.
A Jelly Roll quilt
in the red, white and blue
Stars galore!
Here's our favorite Whirlygig
or Twist and Turn
table topper.
Turkey trying to escape
from becoming the main dish

There were enough Star quilts
to light up the night skies!
The atmosphere was warm
and congenial

hard to decipher -
me thinks this next one is
