share, make

Our local guild had their quilt show Saturday afternoon.  We chose our favorites- Colton's was an appliqued Halloween sampler (no surprise) and mine was a beautifully done Patriots in Petticoats.  My pictures didn't come out but I found the pattern at Quilting by the Bay.  While shopping in the lobby, I met the lady who made it.  She owns a new quilt shop in town.

Of course, you can't attend a quilt show in a State Park without playing in the creek.

  Apparently, 61 degrees is NOT too chilly to go wading.

I finished my Bingo card. 

It was really fun digging through my novelty fabrics.  My key is hard to read so I'll explain it here:

B: bus, apple, lunchbox, school, chalkboard.  These were from a jumper I actually wore during my first few years of teaching.  I accessorized with a white turtleneck, white socks and Keds.

  Younger teachers mock this ensemble now.

I: Grand Canyon, cowboy, sign, tepee, cactus  -fabric bought in Williams, Arizona at Quilter's Mercantile during my dream Route 66 vacation.

N: Florida, West Virginia, free, Ohio, Kentucky  -states I've enjoyed living in.

  Another state shall remain nameless.

G: smoothie, popsicle, sundae, cupcake, raspberries -yummy treats

O: duck, tree, cherries, ladybug, farm -cute things
