QuiltCon - Part 1


QuiltCon was a blast! So much so that I will need to break up the posts to tell you all about it. 

Let's start with Friday evening!  Alyssa from Pile O' Fabric hosted a dinner for the participants of the Skillbuilder BOM and it was fantastic! Aside from actually meeting other participants and putting a face with a Flickr screen name (and a real name, and a blog name, and a modern quilt guild – so much to remember) we showed off our Skillbuilder blocks in our Flickr photostream to each other.

Alyssa was a wonderful hostess, as she had a couple of fun games for us to play.  One was to identify fabric (modern of course) and then Kona colors.  I thought for sure I would nail the Kona colors.  Umm, no.  I only got 1 out of 10 correct.  Oh well – it was fun anyway.  There was also a pin cushion swap but it was just too far down on my list to get done so I admired all the great pin cushions that everyone else got.
