Oct 15 - High Plains Quilt Festival

OK, eventually I'll finish our blog posts of our August vacation to New Mexico... but not today.  Today is all about quilts.  I went to visit my parents and Grandma in Pep, NM this past weekend and had the pleasure of attending the 6th Annual High Plains Quilt Festival in Portales.  What a WONDERFUL event if you love quilts.  It was a surprisingly large event, about 200 quilts on display with several vendors selling fabrics, patterns and a few notions.

Below are photos of my favorites from the show.  If you want to skip the details (name of the quilt, & the quilter) you can now click on a photo and just see a slide of all the quilts.  A very handy new feature here at blogspot.

Enjoy!
