Paducah or Bust Part 3

Here's a few misc shots from Paducah!

We loved the pop up shops and the way the entire city gets involved in quilt show week!

The only time I went to Paducah I remembered this deli! Good food, good coffee, fun people and.......fabric!

I was at a popup and someone asked me if I was Lori from Humble Quilts. Well, yes I am. 

Glad to meet you Carla from Fayetteville, Arkansas!

Oh yes, we had a little fun shopping at Murray's pop up shop!

Got Wool? 

I was sad to hear Kevin's dad still wasn't doing well so I was unable to meet up with him at the Homestead Hearth booth. Missed you Kevin!

Hey look! Three Lori's/Lauries!!!!

I think Lori Smith is such a talented designer. 

I think I'll be starting this later this year. 

It was the quilt that really sold me. 

Gorgeous!

Maybe you have that pattern and would like to sewalong?

Think about it!

I should be in PA about now! 

Love ya'll!

 

Paducah or Bust Part 2

We spent Tuesday doing all we could to see everything before the show opened the next morning. 

That included the National Quilt Museum.

I'm just sharing a few photos. They have several wonderful exhibits.

New Quilts From Old Favorites: Roaring Twenties

What a fun theme!

These next few were incredible and unfortunately I didn't get a photo of their tags. 

The use of this fabric and squiggly lines was really effective. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the quilt1

This was a very small quilt made by Alice Tignor who is in the Humble Quilts group. 

I know we have so much talent in the group but it is fun for me to see names I recognize!

That was the highlight of the museum visit. 

Thank you to all who made purchases on my Etsy store! I appreciate every sale! I'll be closing it for vacation mid month  (getaway with hubby!) so if you've had your eye on something now is the time to purchase it. I am so grateful for you all!

Have a great weekend!

 

Road Trip.... Paducah or Bust

First stop, Nashville!

We got in last so had a good night rest before exploring. 

We opted for the hop-on, hop-off bus. 

So interesting to see this in Nashville!

The Parthenon in Centennial Park, Nashville, Tennessee, United States, is a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, Greece. It was designed by architect William Crawford Smith and built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.

Cumberland River. (Now I want a selvage that says Cumberland!)

The Pickers Nashville antique store.

Marathon Auto Works is a large cool building that houses many little shops and antique displays.

Antique Malls were high on our stops!

"Last Train to Clarksville" is a song by American rock band the Monkees. It was released as the band's debut single on August 16, 1966, and was later included on the group's self-titled album, which was released on October 10, 1966.

Driving through Dover, TN and saw this amazing painted quilt! 

Backyard Fabric in Mayfield, KY was GREAT! The day before Paducah show was our day to see as much as we could! This was our first stop. 

The white building in the center is the shop! Cute, huh? 

Hancock's of Paducah! I was actually surprised to see that many quilters in town on Tuesday before the show. 

This is a "quilt" made of wood! It is in the lobby of the quilt museum. That's the next post. 

I hope your week is going good. 

I let the Facebook group know there are new fabrics and vintage quilt blocks on my Etsy shop. Take a peek if you'd like.

Humble Quilts Etsy Store

Several of these are already sold out! Sorry!

This is just a sampling of what I've been putting in the store. 

 

Stars All Around

These little stars are smaller than the first ones I made. Oh my goodness! That one on the left is hilarious! But it is primitive and I think once it is in a quilt it was be as noticeable to me. These are the 3 I managed to get together before leaving for Paducah. Once i have 3 more, I'll be read to start assembling the quilt center!

Nobody wanted the book so I guess I'll throw it away.  See the details HERE.

The book has found a home! 

I'll be at the Paducah show today! email me at humblequilts@gmail.com if you'll be there too!
