Alleghany Quilt Show

There were little dolls throughout the show

Last weekend was the Alleghany Quilt Show in Sparta.  Alleghany is the fifth smallest county in North Carolina with a population of 10,000.  The quilt show was held at the fair grounds and there were about 100 quilts on display.

At first hubby didn't want to go in, but when I pointed out there were other men heading to the front door, he relented.  We were given a clip board, pencil and plastic glove so we could judge the quilts.  There were about 25 different categories, some with only 2 entries per category.

Here are some of my favorites:

Watermelon quilt

I chose this as the Best in Show

We had a great time.  Hubby even enjoyed himself.  A photographer took our picture and asked our names and I teased hubby that now all of his manly friends would see his pic in the paper.    I went home and got to work on my own quilt, that I started a year ago.  I am hoping to enter it in the quilt show in Ashe County in September.
