Quilt Happening – Lost Acres Orchard 11/13/2015

I’m off to North Granby, CT tomorrow for Ginny’s 28th Annual Fall Quilt Happening.  She has three of these events a year which include:

  • A lecture
  • Shopping – fabric, patterns & kits, vintage & new quilts, tops and blocks, soap, hot pads, jams and jellies
  • Kitchen Shop – breads, soups, entrees, pies & other goodies (Dave’s favorite that I’m not allowed to come home without – chocolate chip cookies J)
  • http://www.lostacres.com/ginnys_quilts.htm

The lecture this time is Generations of Stitches and Memories to Share.

Doors open for shopping at 9 am, lecture starts at 10:30, noon on is more shopping and complimentary light lunch food.

I’m an Orphan Block collector so I love searching the table of blocks to add to my collection!  My favorite orphans I’ve deemed “Ugly Orphans in Need Lovin’ ” but I do buy pretty orphans also.  Yes, I like to torture myself by buying other people’s UFO’s (unfinished objects) LOL.  Sometimes the ugly ones will surprise you – see my Gallery page for one of the quilts I’ve made from an Ugly Orphan – the center block was very crooked and not the most striking colors but it dates to the 1830’s (old is fun!!).

Hope you can join us, these events tend to be three generational for me – we: my Mom (Mumzy), my Aunt, and my Grandmother, we try not to miss any of Ginny’s Quilt Happenings!!

Oh yah – this is a free event, thanks Ginny!!
