Our Trek To Montana

It was the 25th annual quilt show in Glendive this weekend
 
 
This my 5th year of attending...
 


 
Eight of us loaded up and headed south...
 
We even rushed the border and had to wait for the gates to open!!
 
 
First stop is Quilts and More in Sidney....

 
They have a great selection of batiks, minky and western fabrics

 
 
They suggested we stop at Meadowlark Brewery for lunch
 
 
It was a really well done restaurant...

 
New made to look vintage....



with a window into the onsite brewery....
 



Lunch was simple but I think the real draw is the beer!!


 
 
Even the bathroom was cute...
 



Stop #3 was Enchanted Room...
 

 
It NEVER disappoints...

 
some shimmer done up simple...

 
Cute baby quilts... 


 
and array to die for!!!
 
This was Theresa's pick for her next project...



This was Charlene's for a french braid for HER!!!
 



Stop #4...The Quilt Show!!
 
This was the cutest wall hanging....
 



The Backdoor General Store was there with lots of Judy Neimeyer..

 

 
Haven't found my 'next' Judy yet...



The feather and crank machines were back...


This little wallhanging was even more adorable...
 

 
made of yoyo's

 
mini pin wheels...

 
the cat and watermelon...

 
Even the eagle...

 
Some wool..

 
 



 
This is the first 'out of the box' check mark I have seen!!

 
Pat Jones hung the quilt I made for her in the show.
 
I just might have to make one for me!!

 
She was really happy to see us and is doing well.
 
She has promised her therapist a quilt if she can give her back use of her right arm!
 
I think she better warm up the iron as she is coming right along!!
 
There were quite a few Judy's in the show


 
This log cabin was called Beads....

 
This celtic knot was incredible!!
 
Any one ever try the bias tape maker?
 
I think I am going to need one!!!

 
This was a beautiful combination...

 
 
 
It was a beautiful day spent with great friends doing what we all love!!
 
Call us crazy but today we are off to Moose Jaw for their quilt show!!
 Oh.. the suffering...
 
A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do!
