Quilts from Africa

We took a road trip yesterday, to Ailsa Craig, Ontario. There was a quilt show - Quilts from Africa, sponsored by Cotton by Post, a local quilt store. The quilts were amazing, and so inspiring. And I managed to buy some cotton squares from Zimbabwe, and some continuous line quilt designs at the show. Then we found the quilt store. My pocket book hurts, but I now have a portable design wall, and two cones of cotton thread for use with my quilting machine (one of them a lovely blue - perfect for practising). It was a lovely day.
