Much of today was spent looking at quilts and the remaining vendors. I briefly saw Kristen again, but I arrived late at the show and her lunch was shorter than we thought it would be. Hopefully I will get to spend time with her again! And I was bummed that I forgot to get a picture of us together.
Last week or so I did a search in my Reader to see if I could find any other bloggers that I follow that were going to the show. I found one other - Heidi from Handmade by Heidi.
Yes, the Heidi of Friday Night Sew-In Fame!!! The funny thing is, I didn't make the connection that she was "That" Heidi at all until sometime later in the afternoon. It was wonderful to have somebody to look at the quilts with, and go to the Vendors. I have enjoyed my time, but doing most things alone was starting to wear on me.
It was Heidi's first quilt show - I hope she enjoyed it!
P.S. Is my hair really that gray? I was trying to go natural, but now I don't know if I will keep it that way!
Here are some of the quilts we enjoyed together from the Judged Quilt Area:
