What a LARGE amount of quilts at this show. I wish they had more room to show off the quilts, but then there wouldn't be nearly as many quilts to see. These quilts were packed in the larger gym and down one hallway.
I got to the quilt show early (before it opened) so I got to see the quilts and take photos without lots of people blocking the quilts.
There were several quilts all by the same lady, down one hall. I only took photos of a few of those quilts.

Now to the large gym crammed FULL of quilts!
There were several large quilts with teeny tiny pieces.
This is an OhMyGosh (OMG) quilt. I'm currently making this quilt as a leaders and enders quilt. I stitched on mine at the show, between making exchange blocks. It also has teeny tiny pieces.
They had several 365 block quilts. Everyone received 7 3" patterns a week for a year in 2021.
There were 2 Wedding Ring quilts. One was a Golden Wedding Ring quilt.
Quite a few different applique quilts.

A lovely embroidery quilt of all the State flowers.
A Harry Potter quilt (I can't resist a Harry Potter quilt ;)
I love how she 'made' fabric for the centers of this quilt. And the circular quilting just set this quilt off.
There were several paper pieced quilts in the show.

And the remaining few quilts I took photos of.
This was just a fraction of the quilts in the show. There are 200 members of this quilt guild, with a 'waiting list' to get in. Many ladies have been in the guild for 20+ years.
I finished a set of Friendship Star exchange blocks during the quilt show.

| 1 set of Friendship Star blocks made on this 1921 Singer 66 hand crank |
I started another set, on a different machine, but didn't get any photos. I'll take photos when the blocks are done. There wasn't much time to stitch either day, since my booth was full most of the time with people chatting about vintage machines and asking questions.
I found out Saturday morning that the vendor next to me (Lisa K) has been a member of Treadle On longer than I have, and because of her love of vintage sewing machines, she is now one of the sewing machine repair people at a local quilt store near me. I sent a few people her way for machines with 'motors'. It's always fun to meet another member of Treadle On. I even got to see some photos of a couple of her machines.
I did buy some fabric on Sunday (half off). Some of it will be used for pillowcases for Christmas presents this year.
