It's Friday again - are you ready to get your whoop whoop on? I've got some great photos to show you from the Lancaster AQS Quilt Show last weekend, so I hope you're ready for some inspiration!!
There were so many great quilts to see, and I took tons of pictures - fortunately for you, I'm not going to show you all of them! But these are the best of the ones that I took. First, though, I want to show you the beautiful room we had at The Cork Factory Hotel...
Isn't that gorgeous? So much neat ambience - the rough hewn ceiling, the brick wall - which had two big bright windows in it, by the way! Only problem was, the floors were very squeaky - no sneaking around in this room! It was a great place to stay, though - only about a mile away from the show!
And now for the quilts...
Some very cool modern quilts...
Some more traditional quilts...
And some really neat photo-realistic quilts!
So many beautiful quilts and such a wide variety of styles - it was a ton of inspiration and eye candy!!
And on another front, I'm whooping big-time because this Sunday marks the beginning of sign-ups for this year's Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge!

I'm in the process of lining up sponsors - lots of great prizes already, and I'm hoping for even more! If you'd like to help sponsor, please let me know...

Terri Also (friend of the Terri you know)
So, we send in blocks with a hand on them for Hands 2 Help and those will go into quilts? I currently make quilts for Wrap-a-Smile and Wrap Them in Love but could probably also send some along to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the quilt show.
I just love,love plush hotel rooms which reminds me I haven't been in one in a long time! I must need to travel more! (As a military wife I say this;)
ReplyDeleteI really happy that you were able to go to that quilt show! Those quilts looked fabulous and I especially adore that very first one.
