QUILT SHOW

This past Saturday, I went to a quilt show in Robertsdale, AL at the United Methodist Church.

I can not tell you how many, many quilts were on display. They were in the sanuary, in every room and down the halls. There were baby quilts, kids quilts, wool quilts, flannel quilts. Quilts made in the '30, 40', 50' up to 2008. Some of the quilts were gifts; others were found at a flea market.
Not only were quilts displayed, but fancy hand work, old sewing machines, hooked rugs and things to go with each display.



The picture above is a circle barcello quilt. I could not capture the beauty of some of these quilts with my camera.

The picture to the left is a Singer sewing machine. For any of you that sew, sewing machines sure have come a long way. Some of the newer sewing machines are now computerized.

Most of the church rooms were fulled with curious lookers, but we did go into one room with no people. Of course, that didn't last long.

Each room had a label as you entered. Men's quilts, Kids quilts, Christmas quilts were just a few.

In the sacuary each church pew had 4 quilts hanging over it. Each quilt had a label with the person who constructed the quilt, quilted the quilt the date and place it came from.

Not only were quilts displayed but, there were vendors displaying their various retail supply of books, kits, material, fat quarters and tools.

In one of the rooms was a lady showing anyone interested how to hand quilt. The quilt she was working on she had been hand quilting for a couple of years. It was beautiful.


As we entered the church this was one of the first quilts we came to. It is made of men's neck ties.

I thought it was quite interesting.

We sure enjoyed ourselves and it was well worth the $5. admission.
