One of the many quilts on display at vendor's booths |
Quilt show is always wonderful fun. The entire show is a gorgeous display of some of the most beautiful new made quilts you will see anywhere. Each vendor's booth is hung with an amazing array of quilts and wall art and we can't get enough of the colors and patterns while we ooohh and aaaww over the intricate stitching.

This year Julie Dawson, a fan of quilt barn art, has a collection of bird houses she hand made and hand painted with quilt patterns as if they were miniature barns displaying quilt barn art. They each have a tin roof as well. What a great idea.
A perennial favorite is the button jewelry booth. We always budget a bit of our quilt show spending money for a new button jewelry pendant or ear rings or bracelet. This company comes up from Texas every year and has some wonderful jewelry all made from antique buttons.
Special exhibits include spinning and weaving demonstrations by Stringtopia of Lebanon and a vendor selling alpaca fleece and products. Also on display are examples of quilts from the Ohio Quilts of Valor chapter and the Lebanon Methodist Church's Ronald McDonald House quilters.
There is so much to see and do! Come early and plan to stay all day.
