Quilts...celebrating color and fabric...

Please click on all photos to see the stitching detail.

What do two bloggers that normally play with wooden spoons do on cloudy September day? Celebrate color by attending the Cobb County quilt fair in Marietta, Georgia. Now I really can't speak for Sue of rue-mouffetard but I am so totally allergic to needles and thread.

As we entered the civic center I started to twitch a bit. So much fabric and thread and sewing machines and pattern books. My head was spinning and I was totally clueless. I was out of my comfort zone. Not a sack of flour to be found only bolts of colorful fabric.

We immediately met a gal who asked if we would like to put on a white glove. Since I only identify white gloves with Michael Jackson I was wondering if Sue and I were going to be asked to be in a dancing video. Sue and I have not tapped danced in years. What a relief to find out the glove is used to turn the quilt to see the stitches on the opposite side. So take a seat and tap your feet and take a ride on the magical quilt tour.

It was like opening a new box of crayons.
Color everywhere!

This cute mini girl quilt was just one of the ones that was offered in the silent auction.

Such a fun and modern take on a tea theme.

Peaches for Peachtree street in Atlanta.

This was a very large quilt and I found it very refreshing and fun to view
with little buttons sewed on to give it an extra bit of character.

This is just a small portion of this quilt with a China theme.
Amazing!

If I could have one quilt from the day this would be the one.

It was a large quilt with an ocean theme and made me feel so cool and relaxed.

Cute sewing baskets for sale with the perfect place to hang your spools of thread.

Small quilts of varying shapes and sizes for the silent auction.

Every little boy would love to snuggle under this pirate quilt and dream about treasures!


Garden of colors.

Rain showers!

How ironic that the Civic Center held quilts last week and this week
is holding cots for those who lost their homes in the floods

here in Georgia.
Please pray for the flood victims.

If you would like to see more quilts please visit Sue as she has not one but two quilt posts on her blog this week. I will be sharing more quilt
photos soon.
