Dog Kennel Quilt Show

I went to the Dog Kennel QuilIt Show last weekend.  The name comes from the fact that when they started this guild, they met in an old dog kennel! Thank goodness they have evolved into meeting somewhere else!

This quilt is at the front gate and it is a fun dog quilt. (sorry about all the shadows in this pic!)They have a few booths there and a wonderful luncheon!  They have tons of yummy salads and desserts!  It was a beautiful fall day with good food and friends!This was only one wall of the display, there are a lot of talented ladies out there!  I loved looking and drooling over some of these quilts!Enjoying a beautiful fall day and just relxing.It is so fun to be with good friends and enjoy their company.After lunch they had a trunk show with many beautiful antique quilts, some of them were from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.  It was fun to see them and to realize that most of them were hand sewn as well as hand quilted!  I love to look at quilts and to make them.  I am so grateful that I had a mother who took the time to teach me how to sew and how to quilt.  My mother made many, many quilts and gave them away to family and friends and I am grateful for her example in doing that!  She was a great seamstress and a great teacher!Sorry about some otf these pictures, they were half in the shade and the other half in the sun and I was having a hard time getting a decent picture, but you can still see some of the beautiful details.
