My International Quilt Festival (IQF) trip was fun!
Just a little "haul" -
haul as in a two hour drive each way. 
And haul as in a few acquisitions :)
I found some poisons -

poison green that is.

The pre-cuts (charm squares & little thimbles) 
on the left were from Primitive Gatherings.
Top & center, blue fq's from Backdoor Quilts/Indiana.
Center:  poison green half yards.
And on the left: a pattern (: that I didn't need:)
and some conversation prints from Judy Rothermel.

Those poison green fabrics are "Charleston 1850"

by Newcastle fabrics.

Aren't they great???!!!

I also strolled the quilt show...
and enjoyed seeing all of the fabulous workmanship, and took a few pics...
First thing I walk into:

LUCY!!! -as in Lucy Boston, Patchwork of the Crosses
 
 This Lucy/POTC was done with paper pieces about 3/4", not the 1 inch pieces that I'm using or that the original Lucy used.  Beautiful workmanship!

 Then I saw this applique and trapunto beauty that was all done by hand!!!  Just lovely.  The colors just pulled you in!

 

Of course I had to take a pic of some embroidery!

Red work embroidery with yo-yos!

 

It was a beautiful show.

I thought the number of vendors seemed down from last year, but I didn't investigate. 

Also, I thought the number of attendees was low while I was there.

But I was there on a Thursday afternoon,

so hopefully for the sake of the show and vendors,

it was packed with shoppers on Friday and today!
