My large quilt guild,
Pride of the Prairie, had it's quilt show this past weekend. I got a booth at the show, to show off some of my vintage sewing machines. This is the third time I've had a booth at this show. It is sew much fun to chat with people about vintage machines. NO, I don't sell any machines at the show, but, I do give people help in where to find parts, etc, for their vintage machines.
Here are the pictures of the machines I took to the show this year.

I stitched a bit during the show, in between chatting about vintage machines (more chatting, less sewing). I made a grocery bag for a functional bag exchange with my
Treadle On group.

I also took a treadle, and my new sewing chair.

There were also quilts at this quilt show. I didn't take pictures of all of them. There were so many quilts this year that the quilts were spread out from one end of the school to the other end (where I was).

This quilt won Viewers Choice. It was pieced and quilted by the lady who quilted my
son's wedding quilt. It was next to my son's wedding quilt, too.

These next quilts are from the Guild Challenge. We had to draw a block out of the hat, and make a mini quilt, using that block somewhere in the quilt.

I hope you enjoyed the quilt show. We had over 300 entries, so, this is just a sampling.
PS: I had 6 entries in the quilt show, but, you've seen all my stuff before.
Sounds like a fun time and show! Some of the quilts are spectacular. Your new chair looks great. It would have been ok to see your quilts again… ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteOver 300 quilts!! That is a fabulous show. And yes, we can see your quilts again. You display of vintage machines is super - sure you had lots of visitors.
ReplyDeleteGosh, Cheryl! What a collection and what fun you must have had meeting and greeting and spreading the word! I'm envious. Great post!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable that you hauled all of those machines! What a terrific display of machines and quilts! The Super Bowl of quilt shows!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the quilt show, I especially like that they are all "doable" quilts instead of art quilts. I've always enjoyed looking at your beautiful machines but I was really taken by the one with the godzilla finish, it really stood out.
ReplyDeleteWow 300 quilts! Love the display of your machines. Many gorgeous quilts. If you were in a slump that would perk you right up.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a wonderful and inspiring show. I loved your machine exhibit and the chair really shows them off. The person who quilted your son's quilt did such a fantastic job. I guess there are quite a few cooperative jobs in the states. I like the idea of making a quilt to go with a block. I think it would be a fun challenge. Cute quilts too ... the cat and machine and those birds on the wire.
ReplyDeleteFabulous collection of sewing machines. Love the quilt photographs. Thanks for sharing.
