Mahone Bay quilt show

On Friday I set off with three other friends to the small quaint town of Mahone Bay , a 2.5 hr. drive at least . We did take a break on the way so it didn't seem that far and the fall colours were a delight to see . I was thrilled to attend this show , it had been many years since I had been there and I had only ever attended this show once before .  Another talented group of quilters , I won't keep you in suspense any longer here are some highlights from the show , too many quilts to get pictures of all of them .

As you entered the show the ladies were selling tickets on this log cabin quilt , always classic and always a joy to see .

These two were part of a challenge , the one on the left is titled " Under the sea" and on the right " Morning has broken"

                                                            A lovely beach scene ...

                                                            An art quilt.

                                                 I thought this one was rather fun .

I was a bit surprised to see this on display , it is a quilt by Laurie Swim , a well known art quilter .

                                          For the purple lovers , a very vibrant quilt.

                                                   I thought this was adorable .

                                                A very large brightly coloured quilt .

 A very pretty reproduction print quilt , such soft femine colours .

Now for a few art quilts , this was interesting .

 We studied this for a while to see if we could figure out how they did the circles , never did figure it out .

The colours in this quilt were a little stronger than is showing here , a modern art quilt .

                                    I beleive this one was paper pieced , great job !

                                                                Loved this one :-)

                                  And this one would have been nice to take home .

On the left some peonie roses which are pp and next to that is a beautiful tumbler quilt

                                                           a minature pineapple quilt .

                                          another modern art quilt

                                                       an interesting scrappy quilt .

                                              for the hexie lovers , this was gorgeous .

                             This was super interesting , didn;t get the history on the quilt but I loved it.

                                      poppies , this looks like a Pam Bono pattern .

                                                  Pinwheels in all their glory ...

                                                  who doesn't like a red and white quilt .

my favorite in the show , this is called The Highway Man , I just love it and voted on it for viewers choice.

                                                   another scrappy star quilt

                                                  a little challenge piece for the different seasons ,obviously winter

                                             This one was for dots , Mrs .Dotty

                                                   some star challenge blocks , I like the wish upon a star .

                                                  This challenge was for flowers , and here is the picture plant which was partly wool

No this is not Bill , they were having a pumpkin people display and this poor guy was out front of Suttle and Seawinds a lovely store that sells clothing as well as fabric . I did manage to spend a few dollars here . The piper and little people were also part of the pumpkin display , they had some incredibly cute characters around town , I may share a few more later on .
Well I think I have kept you long enough , hope you enjoyed the show .  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day .
