MN Quilts
Before I show pictures from my whirlwind trip to the Minnesota Quilt Show, I must share one last photo from the tractor ride.
This was in the truck on the way home from Boone. It was a big trip!
While at the MN Quilt Show I didn't have time to study each and every quilt carefully, but I did get to see a few and see a few friends. Like Darlene Zimmerman, who was being honored as the Minnesota Quilt of the Year. Way to go Darlene! Her quilts are always so happy, just like she is.
And, then there are the quilts that hit home. This quilt was made by Helen Kelly, but spoke to my heart as if I had made it myself.
Working in the APQS booth was fun as always. Rachel, Pat, Ray, and Karen were working hard. The Karen I speak of is Karen McTavish. Long-arm quilters know her for her McTavishing techniques. Here we are in front of one of her quilts in our booth.
I'll be showing more quilts from the Minnesota Quilt Show on my new APQS blog later this week. I'll post a link here so you can visit that, too!

Oh what great photos! I'm adding Darlene's web link to my blog. I love her books & quilts. Also I love Karen's too and sometimes use her McTavishing techniques on my longarm.
