The Best Thing about Blogging

Halifax is about an hour and a half drive away from Westville. That is at 110 kms an hour.  Today I set out in the torrential  rain and ended up driving about 80 kms an hour so it took me a bit longer to get there but it was so worth the ride.  It has been about 30 years since I have visited this part of the province.   I very much wanted to attend the 10th anniversary Quilt Show of the Thistle Quilt Guild and I wanted so much to meet my blogging buddies Sheila from Sheila's Quilt World and Lesley from The Cuddle Quilter. Such sweeties, but you expect nothing less from a Nova Scotia gal.  We are the best!!  The quilt in the background was made by Sheila  It was so amazing. Sheila had several pieces in the show.  Here are just a few pics that I took and I wish I could have photographed each one because you would be amazed at the talent.   The guild put on an amazing show, very impressive. I wish I belonged to the Thistle Quilt Guild.
