This weekend is the big quilt show in Paducah, Kentucky. I usually go to it with a wonderful group of friends but due to many circumstances I will be unable to go with them. Gary has generously offered to drive to the show on Saturday.
The quilt show consists of two things ..the quilt show where at least 100 quilts are displayed including grand prize winners. The quilts are always amazing.....and it is fun to see them all. The second thing is, of course, is my favorite part, booth upon booth of vendors selling everything related to making quilts...quilting machines, sewing machines, all kinds of patterns and quilting notions, books, wool felt, embellishments and buttons, ribbon and lace and of course the most important item....fabric! I have been going to Paducah with my friends for at least 7 years and every year I wish this was the year I would have a fabric line that might be sold in the booths or ....and this might be too much to hope for.... to be used in an award winning quilt. Well the year is finally here...I have two lines of fabric out in the market with a third line coming out this spring.
So Saturday I will be searching the show for my fabric...Gary will be my photographer and take pictures of me in the booths if I find my fabric. I am keeping my fingers crossed I at least find one booth with my fabric in it. And I also hope I do not spend an arm and a leg buying lots of stuff.......I am thinking Gary might be able to keep me in check.
So check back next week to see if I found my fabric anywhere and see what I bought in the booths....I will also take pics and post my five favorite quilts from the show...they will most likely be Japanese because I am always drawn to them.
So here is a peek at the show...be sure to play the Paducah song while you look at these pics.
