Road trips are fun, and any travel can be related to quilts.
It might be to see a quilt trail. Or to go to a local quilt shop. Maybe a quilt retreat with old quilting friends – or maybe to make new quilting friends.
To see a quilt show (even if it is not called that).
Quilters tend to see and get ideas for quilts from all kinds of everyday items or scenery.
Get together with friends for travel that involves quilts or quilting. Stop and have a good meal together.
Mostly, have a great time as you do quilt related travel.
I love to travel. One thing I watch for when traveling is random quilts in unexpected places. Quilts like to pop up in places that don’t scream, “hey, a quilt is on display here”. And as we all know, I am always excited to see quilts, talk quilts, and make quilts. I have traveled to Maine annually for many years – the scenery is beautiful and I get together with a group of friends for a quilt retreat. We have…
So far this year I have not been to a single quilt show, and I am missing seeing quilts by other quilters. Quilt shows are fun. Great way to meet other quilters, see quilts, and just generally enjoy being a quilter. I am sharing photos of a show many years ago. It’s fun to see how quilting styles and colors change over the years. Enjoy these memories of a quilt show in Billings, MT back in April 1995. Enjoy each…
PERSONAL QUILT SHOW & ROAD TRIP – The corona virus is getting to all of us it seems. I love being home and able to do things here. But after a week of “quarantine” even I needed a change of scenery this past Tuesday. My husband had the day off and so we decided to do a road trip to see if we could see any barn quilts. I also thought it would be nice to take along some quilts…
Last week I had a chance to combine work and a road trip for fabric !!! I was in Washington, IN for the day. Instead of eating lunch I made a fast trip into the Stitching Post for some fabric I had already perused on the website for a planned project. See here: https://stitchingpostquilts.com/index.html I haven’t been anywhere close to this store in a year or two. It has been here many years and always has an outstanding amount and…
Quilt shows come in all themes, sizes and locations. I had the opportunity of enter quilts in the Quilt Show of Powell, Wyoming in 1994. While many people would not consider this a big quilt show, it was fun and easy to enter. A nice thing about my own (or your own) quilts hanging in a show is that they are seen from a totally different perspective than on the bed or wall of home. Before moving to central Indiana…
