Just back from a trip to Duluth, Minnesota, for the annual state quilt show. My sister and I look forward to a 'sister getaway' each June and always have a good time. This year was no exception.
Our three hour drive north included a stop for lunch at Tobies in Hinkley and a few stops at antique stores.
Here's a peek at quilt I couldn't pass up! The pieced stars are only 5.5" and the yellow setting squares really make it shine.
It combines hand and machine piecing. The hand quilting is utilitarian but it 'works' for me!
The backgrounds of the stars vary but each has the same blue center and solid red points. An unexpected floral print makes a fun backing!

The quilt show was held at the DECC center on the shores of Lake Superior.
We both came home with some new ideas, a load of inspiration and a few necessary purchases!

Have you been to a quilt show lately?
What effect does it have on your own work?
