You will NOT be disappointed! As I mentioned, I am from Maine and that is mine and my friend's most favorite shop in the state. Cyndi Black (the owner) is a pleasure to meet and you will most certainly enjoy her wonderful display of quilts, many hand done.

Spent 2 days at the show and also enjoyed an evening at one of Pat Sloan's talks. Did you enjoy the Culinary Institute? Haven't been there yet, but do go to VT. often because our oldest son lives there. Your challenge was great and the ric rac sashing was certainly an interesting addition.

I used to attend the VQF every year and I considered Yankee Pride my "local quilt shop", even though it was over 100 miles from where we lived in Ontario. Next to Cyndi Black's shop in Litchfield, Maine, I can't think of another shop that carries so many Civil War and reproduction fabrics. What fun it must have been to have attended it this summer with your ww friends!<br /><br />The challenge was a great idea and you'll always have something to remind you of fun times with friends.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Kaarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378359214056797658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-33968582791325687562013-01-01T14:00:10.534-08:002013-01-01T14:00:10.534-08:00You have both met the challenge well and both quil...You have both met the challenge well and both quilts are great.
