A Special Quilt Show

This morning, after church, I met a friend at a quilt show in Stockton, NJ.  It was a lot of fun seeing all the quilts on display.  We voted for one to win the Viewers Choice award before we left.  I won a door prize and took some chances on a  few "Chinese Auction" items.  I took a chance for their Raffle Quilt this summer.  Diane and I watched someone demonstrate a new Viking (Ruby) machine.  We were given a chance to win that machine in a drawing also.  What a beautiful machine it was.  It is an embroidery machine and a regular sewing machine.  You can do 'Quilt As You Go" blocks with the machine and then put the entire quilt together.  What a prize winning that would be.  You wouldn't need a Long Arm to do your quilting for you.  We had a nice time in the country.  Seeing what everyone else has done is very inspirational for me.  Now I have to get back to sewing and quilting here. Next weekend will be my first opportunity most likely.
