Quilt marketplace 2015

This weekend we ALL went to a Quilt marketplace, I try to go every year, it’s just a BUNCH of vendors/stores and it’s fun!

I had a free ticket to get in from my quilt guild and printed coupons for 1$ off for the rest, I figured Sonja was free, but to my surprise all the kids were free, so only my husband paid to get in.

And the ladies at the front, gave the kids a treasure hunt, Sonja had to find a quilt with bunnies in a carrot patch and count how many bunnies.

Solveig had to find a giraffe and tell what was on it’s ear ( I knew the answer to that one as I’m still working on that quilt!)

Bjorn had to find a punch bug beetle car and see what color it was, so they ran around and figured out the answers and went back and each got a prize (an eraser) I thought that was GREAT!

some of the vendors at the show don’t have a store front, so I was excited to see Sharon- a former store owner- who I used to quilt for a lot and referred a lot of business to me back then.

So it was a great photo-op

Sharons sold a lot of wool kits and these adorable sheep pincushions, I really wanted one! (maybe I’ll work something out with her if/when I quilt for her next time)-hint hint…

Sonja got upset toward the end of it, but it worked out that we were pretty much done and the kids had a birthday party to go to in the afternoon and hubby and I went out for a lunch date- sushi!! yummy

Even though it wasn’t a trued quilt SHOW, each vendor had beautiful quilts hanging and this one was near the bathrooms- just gorgeous!

as always, it was very inspirational!

Did you do any quilty stuff over the weekend?
