A quilt show

I get a quilting magaizine and inside there were advertisements for quilt shows. I decided that this was something I wanted to do. They were having one in Lancaster, which is only a few hours from here so I decided to go. I invited my friend Lora to go with me. We had a great time together.

I have been to Lancaster before, but what I saw was the all the shopping and touristy type places. This particular show was in downtown Lancaster, complete with One way streets and tall buildings. I had no idea there even was this kind of place in Lancaster.


We went on a Saturday, because this was not something I wanted to take my boys to and it is much easier to find a sitter on a Saturday than during the week. It was quite busy. People everywhere you went. I am not much for crowds and this made me even more unlikely to linger. They also had vendors there. We were not prepared to really purchase anything, but they had some awesome demonstrations going on. You could try a long arm quilting machine. We watched a new way to mark your quilts and the magic of 007 to mend holes in clothing.



The quilts were unlike anything I had seen before. I have been to much smaller local area quilting shows. These quilts displayed were a work of art. Many of them were a picture that was done in a quilt. There was even an LDS quilt, this I know because it quoted the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants.

I plan on putting this on my calendar and returning next year.


On the way home we stopped at Chocolate World in Hershey. We took the tour on how they make candy. We arrived 10 minutes before closing, so unfortunately we did not have time to shop the store. We decided that was ok, since Lora is a diabetic and I still attend Weight Watchers.
