Times to Remember Quilt Show

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 

for Thanksgiving Dinner

There were enough Star quilts 

to light up the night skies!

The atmosphere was warm 

and congenial

Some quilts were 

hard to decipher - 

me thinks this next one is 

a Pinwheel quilt

 Beautiful quilting on 

a Purple, Black and White quilt

Sampler quilt

 This, I'm sure, 

qualifies as a modern quilt 

because there's no rhyme or reason to it

Love the 

Red and White quilt 

in the background

 Lovely yellow Medallion quilt!

My all-time favorite 

Kaleidescope quilt
