Today friend Kathy and I went to the annual Hugo Ladies Quilt Show. I have never been to this show and am now sorry I missed out all these years. And it's held just 5 miles up the road from my house. They meet in an old historic house, I'm not sure if it's an old school house or old church - either way it's really cute. Not only were there quilts on display but there were booths out on the grounds of quilting supplies, lunch and pie available and musical entertainment...........and it was a beautiful crisp fall day........it couldn't have been a more fun day. I took photos of a handful of my favorite quilts.
This is a vintage quilt that looked to be a friendship quilt and it was local quilters from way back in the day. This is one of my favorite quilt patterns.
I loved this appliqued quilt - beautifully stitched.
This was another beautifully stitched quilt. I love all the color in it but yet it all flows.
One of the many fun art quilts. I couldn't capture all the beadwork on this, it's lovely.
A riot of color
This was one of the quilts from the featured quilter. I love the simple flowers. They're all the same flower in different colors and heights. It's one of those quilts that makes me smile.
I also loved this simple block quilt, simple as in looking, not in execution. What really drew me to this quilt was the fact that the fabric was wool. I know this would be wonderful to cuddle up under on a chilly evening.
So often I've been out of town or busy when this show is held, I'll need to make a point of putting it on the calendar for the future, it's always held the first Friday/Saturday of October.
Gosh Cindie, I wish I had known about this show. The quilts look lovely. I think my fav is the 3rd one down, on the grey/blue background, and of course , the mermaids! Wow!!
