Blue Monday - Quilt Show

Hello! It's Blue Monday! For complete instructions, just click here.

I'm sharing some pictures taken from a quilt show. Although I don't quilt, I can still admire the beauty of the quilts.

See what other Blue participants have to share by clicking on their photos. Make someone's day when you wish them a Happy Blue Monday!

While in Gainesville for our grandson's graduation, we happened upon the Tree City Quilters Guild 2013 Quilt Show. This was special because it was their 20th anniversary! The show was held at the motel where we stayed. Look at the cute faux store they had as part of their display.



These ladies set up a quilting spot in the motel's lobby, and they actually quilted while chatting with passersby. Note the rocking chair and the delightful old Singer Sewing Machine. (I learned to sew on a treadle just like this one.)
There's Blue in the quilt hanging in the background.





This lovely Blue and white quilt was raffled off for $1.00 per ticket.



Quilts were on display throughout the lobby. Here's a Blue beauty hanging from the second floor of the lobby.



And another quilt trimmed in Blue.



In a separate room, many quilts were on display after judging.



This quilt won two Blue ribbons.






The sign reads:

"Celestial Dream
This was my first applique project. I was a new quilter and new to applique as well. I first saw this quilt pattern made by Grace North at the Tree City's first quilt show, and I fell in love with it! The pattern is by Susan Powell. What I started in the 1990's, I finished recently, after many of life's ups and downs."


What a happy side trip this turned out to be!



Happy Blue Monday!
