I mentioned that Mom was coming for the weekend… and this is why…

We had plans to head to Chatham for a quilt show! It was held at a very large church, and they had the sanctuary absolutley filled with “Comfort” quilts which would be donated after the show. Isn’t that wonderfu?

In the other rooms of the church (there were many – did I mention it was a very large church?) they had all the quilts made by guild members.

There were literally hundreds of beautiful quilts… but judging by the pictures I took, I seemed to like the applique ones the best.

Check out the amazing birds on this one…

And all three of us (Dave came too)

Loved this chicken quilt.

Especially the inclusion of this saucy foxy.

Naturally this cat one caught my eye. But if you look close, you’ll see it’s not applique, but embroidery! It looks like it’s probably machine embroidery but still amazing!

As was this black-work embroidery with an automotive theme!

But my absolute favourite quilt….

Isn’t that just stunning? It was huge (probably King-Sized). I couldn’t get the whole thing in the picture!
