Connections Quilt Festival 2018

No automatic alt text available.

My friend, Marlene, and I went to the Connections Quilt Festival in Westford, MA. This is the third year for this festival. We  had a great time visiting the vendors and looking at all the great quilts. We both loved this wall hanging. I love Kaffe Fassett fabrics anyways but this pattern is so innovative!
The name of this wall hanging is Garden Party. It is made by Linda Pearl and measures 28" X 22". Linda is one of the founding members for this quilt show. She does a great job!

This is Random Rosegarden by Karen Eckmeier. She was teaching some classes at the quilt show.

This is Villages For All Seasons by Karen Eckmeier also. I really love her work. There were no measurements for either one of her quilts. 

We also had a great time shopping. I bought some thread for my long arm from Superior Threads. I also bought more hexagon papers and a book with scrap quilt patterns. (For that pesky quilt stash!) All in all, it was a fun day!

A Couple of Finishes

The Christmas table runners have their binding! I started sewing the binding on the runner on the left. They're not very large so it'...
