Quilt show in Madison

There's a big quilt show in Madison that I've wanted to go to for years. Finally managed it this year and I was not disappointed!! Coupled with a great visit with my sweet friends in Wisconsin, it was a perfect weekend!

Our first stop was Edwards Apple Orchard, where the tastings are amazing and the apples are the best!

That is Pat Riley, Rose Duel and Debbie Dodge.

The displays are just beautiful!

Need some jam?

Tools of the trade

Then there were the quilts in Madison!! Just great. 

Here are a few. 
Isn't this adorable!



I couldn't get the whole quilt in one Picture because there were so many people in front of it. I thought this was the nicest quilt in the entire show!

There were two quilts in the show that were based on Bonnie's patterns. I always love to take pictures for her to see that there are many quilters who finish her quilts and then put them in a show!

I am always so impressed with some people's appliqué. Isn't this amazing


There were an unusual number of quilts with feathered stars, one of my favorite blocks ever!
This woman collected green fabrics on a cross country trip with her husband. And that's something we all do?





I'm heading home today and will
post more pictures this week.

    The apple farm looks like a very fun place to visit.
    Wonderful quilts from the show. Who else just posted the one that was your favorite? Now I need to go back and look for the post. They described some of the techniques used in it. Fascinating.
    Love the feathered stars. I've only ever made one huge one and one mini. I have a class this week from Marsha McCloskey, queen of the feathered star. But we are making the English Ivy block. I am doing her mini version, of course. : )
    Safe travels home, my friend.

    Hi Randy!
    It was a nice show wasn't it? I don't know what day you were there but I would have liked to meet you and say hi in person. Maybe next time. :-)
    I had a Bonnie Hunter Lozenges in that show.
