Antique purchases

Our first stop in Sisters has always been at a small antique quilt booth. We have all found great bargains and beautiful quilts over the years. This year is the last time our woman is doing it and I think the word spread because the booth was really busy even at 8:30
This is an overview of what was on display:

 The woman on the right is Anne, who we've bought many treasures from over the years. 


This is Lori holding on to her first find of the day!

This is a better look at what she found. Isn't it gorgeous!


This is the other seller, Barry, who is also retiring.

I think Claire snatched this one up.

I got this one! I love it. More photos later during our show n tell on my bed!

I almost bought this one and I'm really sorry I didn't. It's gorgeous!

I did get this one which is a "cutter" quilt but the bargain of the day!! $40!


Another view of the displays.


You can see why it was so hard to decide! They Are all fabulous! Mind you this is all before we started looking at the show! Kind of put us in the mood!!

I will show you what everyone got later today.

  2. I can't imagine having all those Antique quilts and selling them. What will they do with the rest of thier quilts? Did they sell out?

  5. Awwwwhhh! (BIG sigh) that was so beautiful! I've looked at your post more than once and I have chosen the quilts I would have bought if only I had been there. So beautiful! Love the ones you've picked but please explain what is a cutter quilt? Thank you so much for sharing. Can't wait to see more eye-candy.

  7. What gems! Too bad they are giving it up. Maybe someone else will take it up.

  8. Oh my! I am drooling. Lori's find looks very much like something she would pick. There is a quilt with cheddar sashing in the last photo. It would make a good sew-along quilt.

  12. Wow--love seeing these. The first quilt Barry is holding is the one that would have tempted me the most, but they are all fabulous! I'm sad that if I ever do actually get to Sisters, this will no longer be a part of it. You found some beauties--and a great bargain!

  14. I can't believe my favorite quilt is still there.....after 3 years! Amazing! You, Lori or Bonnie have had it in your pics over the last 3 years....it's the Rolling Stone, 2nd from the left in the last pic! I loved it from the first second I saw it.....and reproduced it over this last winter. Thanks for all the great pics......we can't ever get enough of antique quilts! Swoon!
