Quilt Festival, Part the First

Just got back from a day at the Vermont Quilt Festival and it was quite a day! I left at 7 this morning for my first of two stints volunteering (I was taking money for admissions) and got back about 8 p.m. after a second stint at admissions. You see, if you volunteer for four hours, you get first dibs for taking classes next year and with some teachers, that's really important.

Last year was rather dead. This year, the quilters were back with a vengeance! Lines at the vendors were two and three deep nearly all day and the vendors were all smiling!

And the quilts, as always, were amazing.

I was after adding tools to my growing collection of tools—a porcupine quill, a Purple Thang, a new kind of thimble (because I really need to use one but don't like to) and stuff I'll take a picture of tomorrow.

But I am beat so off to put my feet up for a while and then to bed.
