WEST ALABAMA QUILT SHOW

Who knew you could have so much fun at a quilt show LOL, a few Sundays back there was a big quilt show held here, hubby was reluctant at first, with a lot of awww isn't that a girlfriend get together kind of thing LOL I encouraged him that it would be a glorious evening, after church we'd go to the quilt show then for a bite to eat oh what joy! he wasn't feeling the joy LOL but in the end I noticed a few smiles LOl he even voted on his favorite quilt LOL there were way too many quilts to take pictures of them all but I gave it my best shot! LOL, this is the set up at the front dor as you came in, I had to get the picture from the other end or else I'd had to stand outsie to get it all LOL

quilts, quilts quilts everywhere you looked, there were the kind you'd find on your grandmother's bed,

some told a story, the lady who made this quilt told me all about her village in Africa, the one below it had a note of how the quilt was designed for a friend who had cancer

there were those that were unique & just plain cute I thought this one made from blue jean pockets was unique

I LOVE MY BUTTONS!

A dear Friend got me started on collecting buttons a few years ago, not for sewing mine you, you're not allowed to play or sort these buttons! LOL these are buttons that call your name when you walk by, the ones that have that certain look, you know the ones, the collectors bunch LOL as you can see they are in about every room in my house LOL

these are next to my hutch in the kitchen sitting inside an antique Pepsi crate

these sit on a little shelf under the Pepsi crate, the yellow buttons seem to just make the jar & I knew I needed them LOL

these are on the other side of the hutch,the sign has a cute story behind it too, the lady who owned the shop told us she was best friends & grew up with the little girl that is on the sunbeam bread sign

this jar shares a space with many other antique treasures on my dresser, it is one of those that have 3 shelves on each side

I love these three , they are full of beautiful browns & brown tones, goes great on my antique sectary hutch in the little sitting room

these are nestles on a shelf in the office, they are in an antique coffee jar

there's more through out the house , some that's yet to find that perfect spot for,now that I've got this post together I wantta go on a button hunt LOL
