I went to a quilt show here in NJ with some of the ladies in my quilt class. As always it was inspiring and a just a bit intimidating...
These are some of my favorites:
(Dad's Plaids by Elsie Campbell)
(Spring Break by Joanell Connolly)
(Spring Storm by Vanessa Brisson)
(Ishi-Datami by Cynthia Vogt)
(detail of Tree of Life - with Bugs by Jan Hutchison)
(Silverlight by Betty Busby)
(Lollipops and Friends by Megan Johnson and Jeanne Bancroft)
I put the artists names where I knew them.
And, of course, there was much shopping to be done. It made me realize it's been awhile since I've been in an actual brick and mortar quilt store. I'd better get on that.
But, here's my haul of fabrics:
I got a few other do-dads, but they're nothing exciting to look at.

I love the one w/ the girl on the car! Terrific!
I am going to my 1st every real quilt show next weekend. I have no idea what to expect. I have been thinning my stash all year so far in anticipation of buying some goodies at the quilt show.
