Nice eye candy, we don't seem to have many quilt shows in Australia. I think I'm really going to have to think about a holiday in the USA sometime.
ReplyDeletePip, you would love all the quilt shows in the U.S. ! By the way, Marina is in New Zealand now, where she's visited some darling quilt shops. She's having a wonderful time . -- Daryl
