Fall Has Arrived!

September has been a whirlwind... I  went to the Madison Quilt Show and then went to Onalaska, WI for the WAHCE State Convention.  Pictures below are of some of the places I visited.  Of course they are out of order, because for some reason Blog Spot doesn't like to upload all of my pictures at once....
The first day of the state convention consisted of tours of the area.  I went on a tour of a Norwegian settlement, which was interesting, and there was pie and  coffee at the end... so who can complain about that!

Mark and I went to the Wo-Zah-Wa  (Have Fun) Festival in the Dells on Saturday.  100,000 people looking at crafts, and other fun stuff.  Most interesting thing we saw was a man with his dog in a carrier on his chest and another man pushing a dog stroller.  The crafts were nice too, but the people watching was great fun!

One of the quilts I found interesting at the Madison Quilt Show... and actually there were 2 versions of this quilt in the show.


This Quilt was made by Pat Nieman, a member of Material Girls, for a  palliative care patient.




The Garden at the Norwegian Settlement

Inside the house.  I believe it was the original house.  Rooms were quite small.

Had to have a picture of an "antique" quilt!
