How about a quilt show or maybe two :-)

Yes I have had the good fortune to attend not one but two amazing quilt shows recently , the first was in Antigonish about 40 minutes from here and the most recent was on Friday in Mahone Bay , wow what a lovely display of unique quilts and a quaint town  . Since I have a lot of photos to share I will start today with Antigonish , a lovely show in a beautiful church right on main street Antigonish .

 The great thing about a quilt show in a church is the availability of pews to display the quilts , there is a negative to this also as sometimes you wish you could see more of the quilt . This is just one side of the church , the church was completely filled with gorgeous quilts .  Now for some individual quilts .

This gorgeous log cabin took my eye straight away .

Since we are in Scottish territory we have these lovely Celtic knot blocks .

Lovely quilt

The snowball block used a little differently .

A hand applique quilt , there were a few hand applique quilts all so beautifully done , such skill .

I believe this is called brides bouquet , so soft and pretty .

This was a smaller quilt , not quite what Linda Hubbard would call a mini quilt but never the less small and gorgeous .

More hand applique and you can see a second one beside it on the other side of the pew .

I couldn't get a decent picture of this one but it was so cute , all snowmen in the different seasons and all hand embroidered , I loved it !!

These blocks were no more than 6" , oh my it was incredible .

Stunning .

What baby wouldn't love this quilt :-)

This homespun quilt was one I loved and then realized why , I had seen Lesley post her quilt made with this pattern just recently , gorgeous. I was happy to have spent some time with Lesley at the show as she was traveling through to New Brunswick . There was a little too much light filtering in so the picture is a little washed out .

More houses , a pattern by Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts , love it !

This one by Carolyn Hudson was my favorite quilt at the show , I believe it is an original pattern by Carolyn , just so beautiful and masterfully created . Carolyn who has won for her work internationally had several quilts at this show , each one beautiful.

This one had amazing quilting . 

 I loved this landscape quilt too , sorry I sort of cut off the border , I was trying to get a close up of the work to study it .

This one of Anne of Green Gables was a winner too , I have this pattern in my stash since , gee I don't know how many years but seeing it made has sort of spurred me to get it out and make it . 

I think I have kept you long enough , I will share the Mahone Bay show later on and I hope you enjoyed this show , I know I did . 

 Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy this lovely fall day .
