Quilt Show Finds

 This weekend was our local quilts guilds annual show and I made some great finds.  Strangely I took only one picture, but this quilt so intrigued me that I want to figure out how to make a triangular log cabin block.  Isn't this neat looking?  I might play with this over the weekend.

I also made a few fun purchases!  I bought this book, mostly because I can't wait to make this hanging!

I must have Christmas on the brain this week, but at least if I start now I should be ready by next Christmas right?

I got these six half yard cuts for under $20.  Not bad considering that fabric around here is usually $10/yard.  Now to find a pattern to use with them.

The highlight of the show had to be the guest speaker! 

"Joe the Quilter", aka Joe Cunningham, gave a show that had my husband in stitches.  He was hysterical!  I've included a link of another lecture he gave from You Tube at the bottom of the post.  If it works, I think you'll enjoy him as much as we do.  If nothing else, browse around his gallery and check out his non-traditional quilts.  He just finished his book "Men and the Art of Quilmaking" featuring some very interesting art quilts by men, including the president of our local guild.

Isn't it always fun to discover something new and bend the rules just a bit!
