It ALL about the Quilts!

I forgot to show you my favourite quilts at the Cobble Hill Fair this year!  Sure there was cotton candy, animals of all sizes and shapes and pickled preserves but REALLY we all know… it is ALL ABOUT THE QUILTS!!

This year the number of quilts entered was down…WAY down!  I wonder why?  Is it the price of fabric or is it that everyone is just too busy to stitch…regardless let me show you these beauties…

You can’t beat a log cabin quilt and this was no exception…I love these colours!!

P1150246 Then there is this lovely scrappy quilt!!  Wonderful, don’t you agree!?

The colours in this quilt was much nicer in real life!  Very nice!

P1150245This one stole my heart!!  SEW sweet!  I love the hearts cascading down…

This hexagon quilt was exquisite!  ALL hand stitched…

P1150238

It deserves a close-up…all hand quilted and hand embroidered!  Spectacular workmanship!

P1150239 P1150240  Well we can chalk up another year and add it to the 102 years that happened before it…hmmm I wonder how many quilts have been to the Annual Cobble Hill Country Fair?  Wouldn’t you love to see the first ones that graced the walls of the Farmers’ Hall?  Hmmm…‘Fair Food’ for thought…

Have a FUN Friday and Happy Quilting!~P
