Quilts in the Mill

Good Monday Morning!

On Saturday I went to one of my favorite guild quilt shows hosted by the Courthouse Quilters.  They hold their bi-annual show at the Prallsville Stockton Mill.  The setting is a beautiful rustic grist mill on creek of the Delaware river, which was really rushing by with all the recent rain.


Here is my best in show - I just loved it


And here are some other that I especially liked -


what a great large scale print used for the border


what an interseting and unique log cabin quilt.


Pretty border treatment!


Just plain fun!


Great job once again ladies!
I'll post the rest of my favorites in a day or so.

I hope you find time to enjoying some sewing today!

The setting looks familiar--think I attended an antique show there several years ago.

thank you for sharing these wonderful quilts.
i can't resist anything with a simple vine on it so that one really shines for me but boy oh boy who can resist the fascinating results of that New York Beauty interpretation~!?!~

Second attempt at posting . The other must of gone off to cyber space. Love the cheddar in the first quilt and would happily give the 5th a home.

All of those quilts just beg to be made but I agree that the first one with the orange is simply fab! Love the show :)

Janet said...

What gorgeous quilts - that first one is wonderful!! I can't wait to see more!

Teresa Rawson said...

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them all, but the first two really spoke to me. (they are saying things like "steal me," "make me, "love me"...)

What a great show...thanks for sharing!

In stitches, Teresa :o)

What a wonderful old building!
Thank you for sharing the quilt show. I like them all..but that first one with the cheddar...I lust after it! LOL ;)

Jan said...

I'm mad for the log cabin. What a great stashbuster that would be!

Thimbleanna said...

Ooooh, that best in show is just gorgeous. And that vine on the applique border is pretty too. What a fun venue for a quilt show!

Phooey! I too didn't have the show on my calendar. It would have been more fun than chores all weekend!

Love the chedar but the log cabin is a color way I have in my files...I guess a "bucket lister" for me.

Just "Needling you" Jane

I'm with you...the cheddar takes the show!! I have the Christmas Pickle pattern...saw it in Paducah a few years back and HAD to have it. LOL!
You know, I have never made a log cabin. A few blocks, but not a whole quilt. I should put it on my "list." :-0 Every quilter should do one, doncha think? :-)
Thanks for sharing the show with us!
Blessings,
Mary Lou

Nothing competes with an armchair tour of a quilt show in a memorable setting with such a variety of beauties. I'm looking forward to the next group of your favorites.
Thanks for the tour.
