It's not Salt Lake City,,,,

International Quilt Market isn't in my budget, but I could manage $4 for a local quilt show earlier this month: The Barnswallows Quilt Show in Morden, Manitoba, CANADA.

A miniature quilt for the guild challenge, made by my mother. It measures 12 by 12.

Here's the whole wall of minis. A tiny collection of Sunbonnet Sues won the viewers's choice.

Bet you won't see a Harley quilt with its owner proudly beside at quilt market. My mother also made this one, from the owner's collection of Harley t-shirts. He made the stand for it from plumbing pipes and farm diskers. I think I may steal the idea for the stand.

I'm drawn to the scrappy quilts, so here's a collection, many of them by the same quiltmaker.

The vintage display corner, with old machines and notions, and a dresden plate autograph quilt.

And yes, Words Fail Me. I finished it a week after last year's show, so it qualified for this year. It was the only word quilt in the whole place and one of the few that is hand quilted. The stand is too small, so it's not hanging very straight.

My guild quilt was also in the show. The white glove lady removed the tags so I could get a good picture. Bet they don't do that at quilt market!
