Friends + quilts…what is not to love?!
I recently traveled to Ithaca, New York to visit a very dear friend AND to attend the Tompkins County Quilters Guild Traditions & Beyond 2017 Quilt Show
Every other year, the Tompkins County Quilters Guild organizes and sponsors a quilt show. Entries are welcome from guild members and non-guild members.
There were hundreds of quilts to gaze upon with wonder and amazement. Below are a few highlights for your “gazement” pleasure.

Love the zig zag stitch!

Bold prints AND hand quilting

Bright batiks with a dark background were spectacular

Pretty petals

Isn’t this quilting beautiful?

I wanted to bring this home with me!

This mini quilt had many tiny dots…it was exquisite!

Another one I wanted to bring home!
After the quilt show, I snapped a pic of this beautiful dahlia in my friend’s garden. This could be inspiration for a flower quilt design…hmmmmm.
But wait, there’s more! How about this one?
Thanks for the lovely weekend, dear friend, I’ll be back!
Lovely quilts. Thanks for posting.
There were so many more…I wish I could have shown more!
Wow — they are all beautiful! I love the diamonds with the hand stitching.
That quilt is so beautiful! It was one of my favorites!
Dear cindy, love your blog. It is an inspiration
