My First Quilt Show

December 27, 2014 by persimondreams 3 Comments

IMG_5385Just before Thanksgiving, Pip and I, took a road trip to my beautiful hometown of Port Washington, WI.  I was hanging my very first quilt show! IMG_5349 My good friend, Nicole, owns Java Dock Café – a lovely coffee shop in the quaint downtown of Port Washington.  IMG_5352Many of the quilts are ones I made during Project QUILTING challenges and they adorn all the walls I the sitting/drinking upstairs of the café.  IMG_5356 I know it’s winter time but I just had to hang some of my patchwork kits in the kid area to give the patrons hopes of spring and warm weather! IMG_5359 I hung the show while the shop was open and people were enjoying each others companies along with a delicious cup of coffee. IMG_5361 It was so fun to hear the ooh’s and ahhh’s as each piece went up. IMG_5362 Many comments were, “I’ve never seen quilts like that!”  Just the kind of words I like to hear!IMG_5367 The quilts will remain hanging through December 31st so if you have some time and want to take a  little trip to Port Washington – be sure to stop in at the Java Dock, grab a warm cup of coffee, a handmade treat, and go and see some of my quilts in person!IMG_5380

    Love your quilts – kind of an obvious statement, since I follow you. Also, love your friends shop. The arched windows are so appealing, and let in lots of light. Thanks for sharing it.
    Hugs
