On The Road Again

Three Little S'mores went to Owensboro on Friday.   We met four more there.

"Who are the S'mores?", you ask.  In some areas you might call us a bee.  We are 20 strong.  Sisters I never had, BFFs, sewing assistants, and critical supporters.

"Why are you called S'mores?", you inquire.  Because when we're together we want to sew s'more, laugh s'more, eat s'more, and buy s'more fabric.

"Why Owensboro?", you ask yet again.  Because three of our S'mores live in northern Kentucky and southern Indiana. They belong to the Owensboro Area Quilt Guild and their biannual quilt show started Friday and continued through Saturday.

OAQG Show 2014

For a guild show it was very professionally presented.  The area on the bottom left was for lectures and demonstrations.  Bottom right and right aisle were a nice variety of vendors.  And at least 350 quilts were hanging.  Including two of mine!!

There were others by Lisa and Deanna, as well.  Sorry, Rita, I forgot to get a picture of yours ;-(

Mr. Whittle was vending.  I shopped with the sole purpose of getting a back for French Braid.  So I came home with 3 yards of 108" backing fabric to add to my stash report.  I also bought a spool of Aurifil at a great price from another vendor.

All-in-all, it was a lovely day with lovely friends.
