Kay's Quilt Adventure - Part Four

Saturday we went back to the Quilt Show.  Above is some of the things we bought while we were there.  We also bought some quilt mysteries and other books with quilt related themes.  Sandra Dallas was signing copies of her books and we got a few of her books. I also got some beautiful solid fabrics from Cherrywood fabrics and some pearl cotton thread that I would like to try quilting with.  There was everything you could imagine that was quilt related.  We also got some free bags from different vendors and some free samples at the Moda Bake Shop Booth.  We visited the Rocking Chair Quilt Booth and then headed back to the quilt show. 

There was so much to see that I didn't get to see everything.  We did get to visit the AAQI booth.  They were selling small quilts ( 12" by 9" or smaller ) to raise money for Alzheimer's research and awareness.  AAQI stands for Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative.  Mom bought a quilt.  When someone buys a quilt they yell and make a lot of noise so you can hear them every time they sell a quilt.  Project Linus, Quilts of Valor, and some other non-profit groups also had booths. 

During the quilt show they make all kinds of anouncements that they will not page people for you.  Apparently if   my mother is jumping up and down in front of you and will not go away until they page someone , they will.  So they paged me.  Here is really stupid thing #3.  I was so absorbed at looking at the quilts that I didn't realize what time it was.  I was all the way on the other side of the quilt show looking at the Modern Quilt Exhibit.  So I made my way as fast as I could to meet the quilt bus.  There was Mom jumping up and down because I made everybody late.  The quilt police did not come and get me and I did not go to quilt jail but I did get some dirty looks from some of the people on the bus,  which I deserved.  The lady that overslept that morning said she was glad that someone else had made us late and now she didn't feel so bad.  I was glad that I could do that for her.  


We made our way home with a stop in Mckinney, Texas for the night.  Mom went  to the quilt shop, Quilt Asylm, for a class and more shopping.  Dad and I stayed at the motel and watched K-State win their football game.  Go K-State!   We finally made it home the next day.  It was a great trip but it was good to be home.  Next week I will try to post some more doll quilts pictures .
