BLACK MOUNTAIN NC HAS IT ALL

I love to go to Black Mountain Yarn Shop 

in Black Mountain, NC...

My friend Kathy Guenther now loves it to.

We made it a stop on our Thelma and Lousie adventure

on the way to QuiltCon!

We also found fabric !

Yes, the name of the store was misleading but we saw

a billboard for it and then a local in the

yarn shop assured us...it had quilter cottons.

And it did with reasonable prices!

There was lots of MODA...lots of it!

I spotted a bit of Lotta Jansdotter and

a few other Modern designers.

This is a BIG store and had all kinds of fabrics!

If you like batiks...they had those!

and lots of Novelty prints

Doctor Who fans would be excited!

And some GRUNGE made it all worth while!

If you travel this summer and are near Asheville, NC

be sure to check out Black Mountain 

Its just 30 minutes East of Asheville and worth the trip!

YARN, FABRIC, WINE, ARTISTS

it has it all! 

OH WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

I am definitely catching up. 

There were lots of color and beautiful designs

throughout QuiltCon 2017

More of my favorite quilts!

I don't know all the makers but if you do, let me know!

Cassandra Beaver, COMQG

Sugar Skull Quilt

and a Harry Potter to top it all off!
I'm not really a HP fan but the work on this was
AMAZING!

Stunning design and luv the colors in this one.

I can wrap my head around some scarlet and gray!

I usually don't care for all soldis in a quilt

but  the design here makes it pop!

how fun is this one!

Creativity just ran amuck in this entire show!

Here is a sampler of sorts...sort of!

DASHES AND LINES...

I know QuiltCon is just a memory now...but its still worth talking about.  

It was my first...and all I thought it would be!

I was one of the first thousand to register, I received 

this cool bag full of swag!

Get a load of these "Dashes" (Churn Dash Quilts)

 I don't know all the makers or I would tag them for

credit of their wonderful work!
