Thank you! Eastern Long Island Quilters – Quilt Show

Thank you! Eastern Long Island Quilters – Quilt Show

First an apology, I’ve been absent for a while and it’s was a very personal reason that I’m just not ready to share but maybe in the future.

The almost current news is that my Mom and I returned from having a great time and meeting wonderful quilters at the Eastern long Island Quilters Guild 2016 Quilt Show. We took the ferry out of New London to Orient Point and were treated to the spectacular countryside views.

The show had some beautiful quilts and as a vendor I was allowed to present a ribbon to my favorite.  I was running a little late and forgot to take a picture but the one I chose had some beautiful machine quilting!!

We had the largest area for our booth we’ve ever had. It was sooo great to stretch out the booth to see everything we carry more easily.  Here’s some pics from the show

As you can see, I’m continuing to expand my fabric lines: tone on tones, overalls, landscapes, trees and snowflakes for any season. We’re developing more kits and instructions for finishing some quick quilts with hand dyes.  We always carry a variety of one of a kind pincushions.

We shared our room with a great vendor, Oh Sew Sally who had a terrific assortment of quilting supplies and fabric, I was drooling over her variety of solids and people kept wanting to buy her tuffet – she’s offering classes on the tuffet, if you can catch up with her they are beautiful!!  Roberta is so sweet, she even let me borrow her sewing machine to demo feed dogs up machine quilting to finish my Snowball fabric.  You can find her online here with fabric, threads and kits – http://www.ohsewsally.com/ or https://www.etsy.com/shop/OhSewSallyQuilts
