OH my goodness! Blogging is exhausting when you do it consistently!
Here it is the Grand Finale of my trip...The Festival of Quilts in Birmingham England:
Amy Butler - Front and center. I love her so much! I didn't have to touch this picture up at all. She and her husband David are amazing and so nice!
I loved seeing them at the Festival.
They LOVE ROWAN Fabrics over there!!!
Moda is also a favorite and was in almost EVERY booth I walked past...Hey! I know this designer...LILA!
Here are some of my favorite quilts. I'll start with my #1 favorite made from vintage Barbie Doll Dresses:
I loved this one too. I think it's because of the hearts:
This one is a little more traditional and it was soooo Pretty! I was blessed enough to be stationed right across from it and it blew my socks off! It took 1 year to complete:
I don't know if you can see the detail in this one, but it was really cute and original. It had old keys, scissors, and other cool objects sewn into it.
These are Antique Quilts. There was one in there from the 1800's priced at 4000 pounds! That's like $6000!
Here I am:
and me and my mom:
Thanks Mom! I couldn't have done it without you. If there is one thing I learned about my mom, it's that she can pass out brochures like nobody's business!
I love you!
That's it! Check in tomorrow night to see who won the contest!!!

I love quilts!! Someday I might actually get around to making one. :)
Oh my goodness, I am seriously blown away by some of those quilts - the amount of work that went into them is boggling! Wow!
Your booth was adorable!! I love that it was all about the children's clothing, because it's always so cute how surprised the ladies at the little "quilt shops" are when I'm purchasing fab fab and they ask me about "my quilt" and I tell them I make children's boutique clothes. :)
What awesome quilts! Wish I had that kind of talent..I think its wonderful that your mom was able to go and share these bonding moments with you.. Great job on your booth it's adorable!

That was an awesome finale. I am so glad that you could share your experience with your mother. She must be a great mom! What wonderful memories you will have from your trip!
So let me explain!!! When you switched over to your new blog address it stopped following the new blog address. Trying to figure out how to get this fixed! This post is a fave. I love the eye candy of fabrics.
