Quilt show pictures, part I

I recently went to the best quilt show I've seen in a while. I took loads of pictures which I've been wanting to blog-- been babysitting the darlings a lot so haven't had a chance u til now. Here are some of my favorites!!


Isn't this amazing!

I'm think the most impressive part of the show was the absolutely incredible machine quilting throughout :
I thought this one was hysterical! Here's a close up:

Look at that quilting!!

Downton Abbey costumes

When we were in Philadelphia our friends took us to the Winterthur Museum in estate-like grounds. We went to see the Downton Abbey costumes on display and were pleasantly surprised by another exhibit!!








Recognize any of these??!! 

And the surprise exhibit??
Amazing embroidery!











The gardens were also amazing:


This used to be a pool 



Next up will be pictures from the latest Wisconsin retreat! And after that?? There's a fabulous  quilt show this weekend nearby so I'm sure I'll have lots of photos!
