Oklahoma City Quilt Show

Ok, I went, I saw, and I made the vendors very happy. It was an excellent quilt show and for its size, was very, very well represented by a good variety of vendors. There was truly something for everyone. This show is put on every January by the owner, Randa Parish, from Prairie Quilts in Hennessey, Oklahoma. She puts a lot of work into it, and I have seen it grow since she started it about 4 or 5 years ago. If you are in the area this time of year, you might plan to go. I didn't take any pictures of the quilts, but there were some very pretty ones. By the time I got to them I was worn out, lol.

This is the first time I had seen this shop. The women that worked the booth were so helpful, and there kit prices are very reasonable. Their shop is going to be one of the ones featured in the Quilt Sampler in May, and this quilt is going to be featured in their spread. You can pre-order the kit now by calling 620-331-4690. I know somebody who has already done so, :>) .



This is the kit I bought. When somebody called me and asked where I was, and I told her I was at the quilt show and had just bought this kit, she "made" me make sure she got one too. And I don't blame her. It is just scrumptious! I thought I had a picture of it, but it disappeared from my camera.

This is a kit made from Chelsea Boutique using the Bella Rosa pattern by Ms. Rosie. It is just gorgeous and I am going to have to make it.


Here is another one that I drooled over, but didn't buy. It is made with Windham fabrics. I don't remember the name of the group or the pattern, but you can call Lillie's and I am sure they will be glad to tell you. It was all I could do not to make sure it came home with me, but I have willpower! ROFLOL!!!!

These next two little ones are made with Snibbles patterns by Ms. Rosie using Allspice Tapestry. Really, really pretty. This particular collection is probably my favorite from Fig Tree.

For those of you that "might" be interested in blended quilts, Piece Keepers

has a great selection of kits cut from Blended Quilt patterns. And the fabric used in

the kits is available from them. I love the way she puts her fabrics together. Here are three of the kits she had in her booth. You can see others on her internet site.

These rotary cutters and mat and ruler are from Martelli's. I was very impressed with all of them. I also bought extra blades for both cutters. The cutters are ergonomic and have great safety features on them. The mat is welled marked on both sides and this ruler is grooved with 3 slots (the size strips you seem to need the most) and has some kind of backing on it that keeps it from sliding, and it matches the purple in my hair, ROFLOL!!!!



I went with some of my quilty friends, and when we couldn't carry anymore, and one of them bought a chair, and we were able to wheel some of our goodies out on it, we left. By then we had been there over 5 hours. We went to Panera's and had soup and salad, and relaxed and just talked for about an hour. It was so relaxing and we had such a good time. It's nice to get out and do that sometimes, that's for sure. I actually went to bed at 1 last night instead of being up until 2, I was so tired.
