Great Minds . . .
There weren't a lot of quilts; my favorite part was a curated exhibit of antique basket quilts that forbade photography. I've long had a weakness for a good basket quilt. As to the rest of the quilts on display, as usual, there were far too many art quilts for my taste and far too few bed or practical quilts.
The vendors were good, but I just didn't need a lot. I bought some needles. And I did buy this dear pack of F8s. At the end of the day I told Bobbi, "You're going to love the fabric I bought," and showed it to her seconds before she pulled the identical pack out of her bag! They do say great minds think alike.
We had a good lunch, we stopped at a fine farm stand, we laughed a lot and solved several world problems. So it was a good day. But, oh, how I'd like to go to a quilt show that had lots and lots and LOTS of bed/practical quilts!

Sounds like it was a good day anyway. I love that you each bought the same fabric bundle. It is a pretty collection.
Yes, I like quilt shows with lots of yummy bed quilts on display, too.
About 25 years ago when I was a new quilter, the two most frustrating venues displayed quilts badly. The first was a small local quilt show that bunched one end of every quilt up to hang them from wooden "bows". The other was the local fair and all of the quilts were folded up and in glass display cases. In both cases, yo couldn't see the whole of any quilt. Who thought those display methods were good enough?
Hugs!
