Clam Shell Quilters Quilt Show 2016
Clam Shell Quilters Quilt Show 2016

What a great time we had at the Clam Shell Quilters quilt show!!! Met some really nice quilters and fiber artists who stopped by our booth, so much fun to chat with!  Finished machine quilting my hand dyed baby quilt in a day, and I’m half way there on fusing my Hawaiian quilt (pic coming soon).  There were beautiful quilts to look at and the room with our booth was filled with light.

Mumzy and I stayed at a B&B, it was just on the right after the cows (uh oh – Bessy there doesn’t look too pleased to have her picture taken).

We had dinner on the beach one night – how can you beat that, quilts and the beach!!!

Hope you had a chance to stop by.

What do you do with a rainy summer day – how about heading to New London, CT for the Clamshell Quilt Guild’s 2016 show, “QUILTS ALL AROUND TOWN 2016”?

My Mom and I will be there vending in the Sew Craft booth – yeah! Mumzy has been working on some kits and a few other goodies –  J  while I’ve been making pincushions and dyeing fabric.

I’m a newbie to this show but it sounds great, Jackie Kunkel is the speaker also offering workshops, they have a special exhibit from the Hoffman Challenge and from what people have told me LOTS of quilts on display.  Can’t wait to go and hope to see you there!!!
