Wichita, too!

We are into the last day, and I have one more class to go and I am getting a bit tired. Of course, the vendor shopping may have played a part in the fatigue, but I can't be sure...
The auction last night was funny-weird! Kimmy Brunner and the auctioneer ran everything smoothly and the quilts went from $125 to $1500! We kept our hands folded in our laps so as not to spend any of our shopping cash accidentally.
I went through the show and saw my quilts there. It was a proud moment, even though neither one took a prize. The competition here is so stiff, only the best of the best get ribbons. The eye candy was overwhelming. I have posted the best of show here (quilted on a Bernina sit-down machine...YIPES!) as well as a few of the quilts I found to be the most stunning.
Tomorrow, we head out for Greenville, SC by way of Tupelo, MS to see Mr Wazoo's family and to present the youngsters with an eye spy quilt. It's kind of sad to go, but we do have customer quilts waiting for us in Florida!
Here is a peek at some of the highlights from the show.

  1. Keep entering MQS Susan. They give money as prizes. It will make you even better competing with these longarm quilters. You have no competition in our local guild quilt shows.
