Quilts in the Park was happening in Whitewater today and some of the quilting peeps and I made plans to meet to take in the event and do lunch. It was a perfect day for such goings-on--overcast and cool. I'm sure that made it much easier on the vendors. Not to mention the attendees.
Diane and Mary catch up.
A scrappy ninepatch. What could be simpler? But it drew all of us in like it was magnetized.
Diane and Renee analyzing.
A vendor explains a star technique from this book that yields an eight-pointed star and avoids the dreaded set-in seam. AND clever cutting also yields an extra block. Waste not, want not!Sure, we're suckers. Absolutely no sales resistance. We all immediately decided we NEED the book.
The event raffle quilt. I could find a spot for this very easily. Waiting for my call from the raffle committee.....As if. Sigh.

On the way home I snapped some pictures of my world.

Retro transportation in Eagle, Wisconsin.
Also in Eagle--a great porch for sitting.Yup, it's pretty rural around here.

What a delightful day!
Oh I wish I would have known about this! DH went up to Madison yesterday for some work meetings - and we drive through Whitewater, I could have played there all day while he worked!
I have to get that book! You find such awesome things!
It looks like a wonderful day in the park. Thanks so much for sharing the quilts and the picture of Mary!
You are right, that quilt is fabulous! Simple and yet magnetic!
