It's beginning to look like show season

It's beginning to look like the start up of quilt show season.  Last weekend was the Squanicook Quilt Guild Show.  One October 4 & 5th is Souhegan Valley Quilters Guild Show.  This is one of "MY" Guilds.  MoNsters will be making it's premier showing here.  I will be take pictures and taking raffle tickets for the baskets that MANY wonderful donations have been given for.  Please see the list and support this people.

I had intented to go to the Squanicook Show on Saturday but got ask to go for a ride to Vermont with one of my Soul Sisters.  We stumble over to the Bennington Quiltfest. And were just a tad chilled with the temps being at under 60 degrees.  I ended up with these cut buttons for my sewing sisters. 

This is a few of my favorite Quilt...It was right inside the cafeteria

On the way ambling home we stopped vermontbowl.com and I got my Hubby some salad claws

I have to admit that last week I did not get a stitch of quilting done due to the fact that I ran away to visit my Grandchildren in North Carolina

Inspiration

Two weekends ago I stole a little time to visit the Manusco quilt show
