Ok - this isn't the quilting group, but hey, we all do a little of everything.
I went because it was local and the one in Manchester NH had some great vendors and because many of the quilts inspired me on a creative level. Not recreate what I saw but to expand my horizons.
This time it was mostly traditional quilts but there was enough art/crazy quilts to make me happy. And there was one that mimicked flame/bargello WOW
In the vendor mall, I grabbed some fat quarters that inspired me or just made me smile. And saw a few folks that go Celebration of Needlework. Had a nice chat with Colleen from Thread Express. I get to have another one as she called last night to tell me I left my purchase there yesterday.

have to start planning the cleanup effort in the yard. I lost four trees - one from the ground level (it was going to go any way with the next big wind or the first heavy snow) Lots of branch cutting to do.
