How many fat quarters are there?

Lancaster Pa. Quilt Show at the Host Resort - March 14 -17th, 2012

 This is our booth at the Lancaster Pa Quilt Show at the Host Resorts - March 14 - 17th. 2012.

 

Our booth was right next door to the Virginia Longarm booth. You can see their thread display in this picture if you squint your eyes. Amanda and I are going to be a Gammill Sales Representative for the Gammill Vision 18 -8. Our machine will arrive on March 27th.

Cabin Branch Quilters and Stone House Quilters Quilt Show 2012

We were a vendor at the Cabin Branch Quilters and Stone House Quilters 2012 Annual Quilt show. The membership of both guilds get together and have breakfast and lunch for the show volunteers and the vendors, which is most appreciated by all!

 We have our sample quilts hanging along the back of the booth. The first quilt is the 1600 Quilt Race. Amanda made this one in 55 minutes! It was a lot of fun to watch her speed sew, which is her normal speed!

The next one is a Civil War Reproduction quilt that my friend Susan H. made for us.

The last one is made with big block from Sweet Sixteen fabric, very modern looking quilt.

All three quilts were quilted on our longarm machine.
 
We had a book shelf full of wonderful books and 509 Spray Bastings.

We have plenty of panels to make sewing children quilts a breeze, from "Good Night Moon" to the "ABC" panels you can see in this picture.

Next show is this week - March 14 - March 17th at the Lancaster Host Resorts. Stop by and say Hello to Amanda. We have a $1.00 off admissions here on the blog and the website, http://www.auroraquilts.com/

Gammill Vision 18-8 Sales Representative

I love these shop babies. Kirsten and Quintin are "nap testing" a quilt that my Mother-in-law made in the early 1940's. My daughter Amanda and I quilted it for my Sister-in-law Janet and afterwards my grandchildren did the nap testing. It took 4 generations to complete this top. When is that napping going to start?

But a new shop baby is on the way to keep his big brother company. We have signed up to be a Gammill Vision 18-8 Sales Representative in our shop, Aurora Quilts, 9100 Church Street, Manassas, Virginia 20110.
