Amherst is Awesome!!

I spent part of today in Amherst visiting a few of the venues included in the Nova Scotia Fibre Festival.  The 2 hour drive there was lovely.  The fall colours are ablaze.  I went to Dayle's Department Store to check out the fabrics and have a look at the quilts that were displayed around the store.  I bought three metres of a Maywood design called "No Girls Allowed".  I had bought some on a previous visit and I loved it so much I just had to get more and it was only $4.00 a mtr! I am very attracted to circles or bubbly-looking designs.  I have just started to collect polka-dot fabric so this will work well for a background when I decide what I am going to make with the polka-dot fabric.

Then I went to check out Karen Neary's Quilt Show and Sale.  What a feast for quilty eyes.  I am such a fan of Karen's designs so to be able to be in a large room full of her work was such a treat. I took lots of pics but most of them came out blurry and not good enough to post. Darn.

 A lovely day.  in a lovely town.
