It's all about sharing........

Last night was one for the books - Jane's show of antique quilts was amazing! The first one is a family heirloom belonging to her cousin and is absolutely exquisite.......
Of course, in the store - the show must go on and the customers were busy saving loads of cash on their stash of fabrics.......and showing off completed projects as well as great quilt tops.....(it's a great time to get backing for a completed top with 20%-50% off).....

Jane shared so many lovely quilts with us...........







Jane even shared one of her creations with us - isn't this stunning?????!!!!! It represents her family history as well as biblical references .......
As we watched this amazing show the quilts were folded lovingly and placed along the sides of the room where we could take a closer look and handle carefully.........


After the show, refreshments were served and everyone went shopping........The consensus is we should do this again!
If you missed last night's event and you have the opportunity to see Jane's Antique Bed Turning at another time it is certainly worth it........
One of our customers was kind enough to share some antique quilts in her collection. This one was found hidden in a barn in the Kitchener/Waterloo area......it's actually a legitimate quilt block called Fly Foot but appears to be a Swastika. It was a very popular pattern in the U.S. before World War II.
The other two quilts she was kind enough to bring along are wonderful hand pieced quilts.

Suffice it to say - it was a wonderfully entertaining evening and we all had a great time....
The sale ends tomorrow at 6:00 P.M. - don't miss out!
Happy Quilting!
