A Quilty Fun Day

Sheila and Suzanne having fun!
Yesterday was a quilty fun day for me.  I drove to Pictou for the annual Northumberland Quilt Guild's Show and Sale and to meet up with my friends, Lesley, Karen and Sheila.  Together we are also known as..The Nova Scotia Quilt Bloggers Quartet!  We are from Arichat,  Port Hawkesbury, New Glasgow and Halifax.

We all met online, through blogging,  about two years ago  and decided to try to get together from time to time to attend quilt shows or just hang out.  My daughter, Nicola and my good friend Suzanne tagged along too.
We toured the quilt show and shopped at the vendor's mall.  There were lots of quilts to admire.  It was nice to see that many were handquilted.  I find the lighting isn't the best for quilt photography in the deCoste Centre so some of my photos didn't turn out so well.  Here is an example of what we saw. 
























I have more to tell  about my day but that will have to wait til tomorrow.  I need to get back to my sewing before bedtime.  I finished up all the major cutting for Katherine's wedding quilt and have all the strip sets sewn and ready for subcutting.  Then it is on to piecing the blocks.  Lots to do! 

Hope you had a quilty day and got some time to sew.
