So every year around this time there's a big quilt show in Paducah, Kentucky. And when I say big I mean HUGE! Just about every store in their town has fabric vendors taking it over during this weekend, the antique stores, grocery stores and even the Harley shop had been overrun by quilters! My mom and I went a few years ago and had a blast. We bought so much cute fabric and couldn't wait to go back this year!
We did a lot of fabric shopping. Aside from food and a few vintage pieces of jewelry (which I can't wait to share in a future post) all I bought was fabric! I came home with two huge bags and I can't wait to share photos, I hope to get a few quilts made and up for sale in the next few months!
If you can't tell, I was by far the youngest person with the exception of children in strollers that had no choice but to come. Hah I love it though! These ladies are so sweet, and are just so impressed that someone my age is into quilting! They are always asking me questions, not to mention glaring at my bright, bold fabric choices in comparison to their muted colors!
We got back in town Sunday afternoon, and of course I was sad to be back to the real world and work today! Oh how I love days when I don't have to wake up to my alarm!! To be honest, I missed ChrisChris though, so I was atleast excited to come back and see him. I had a blast spending the weekend with my mom, too. The older I get the more I appreciate the time I get to spend with her! I love that it no longer feels like we're just mother/daughter but also that we're friends!

So jealous! I really wish that my Nanny had made me sew with her when I was growing up because now I want to do it but can't catch up! She's great she embroiders, quilts, sews (makes clothes) and so much more :)
I love that you are into quilting...very cute!
hah! This is pure awesomeness - love that you are an old lady trapped in a youngin's body. This looks like such a blast. I cant tell you how much I love looking through fabrics!
I totally feel like I'm stuck in a 60 year olds body too! I would have been there too if they had something like that in my town! My boyfriends mom has the best collection of fabric! It's so fun to have tons of pretties on hand for when creativity strikes!
