There were some lovely quilts but there seemed to be a lot of 'art' type quilts. I guess I just prefer the tradition quilts but the art ones are nice to look at. I did a bit of shopping and decided to do the Booth Hop. I have 11 of the patterns in my possession and the last will be sent to me. They didn't have enough kits... I think she was a little overwhelmed by the number of people doing the Hop but she was going to cut them that evening and mail them out. On the positive... it sounds like a lot of people did the Hop and generated some good business for the vendors.
This is one of the kits for the quilt..... blue, green and yellow..
I also saw this vendor from Maine called Rainbow Dyes - as I am unable to get their website to link you can go directly to www.rainbowdyes.net to check them out - with hand dyed fabrics. I got 2 sets of fat quarters with 7 in each. They are much more vibrant than in the photo. As Mindy asked for bright pink, red, orange and yellow for her graduation quilt next year... I saw these and now need to find the pattern from the Quiltmakers Gift... I think it is End of Day. I think these will look nice and the colors are so 'her'. My son loves fabric and had these out and unfolded as soon as he saw them... I have hopes that my 3YO will turn into a quilter. My daughter... no interest at all but then again... she's only 2.

Wow, it looks like you had fun and a great time shopping! Love the rainbow dyes.
Sounds like a lovely time at the quilt festival. Even mommies deserve a little quiet time. Stunning hand dyed fabrics. I'm sure they will turn into a great quilt.
