Weekly update, part 1: the Wisconsin Quilt Show from With Strings Attached

The 20th Wisconsin Quilt Show (formerly 'expo,' hence my blog label) was held September 5-7 at the Alliant Center on the south side of Madison. This was the sixth time I've gone, and the fifth time on a one-day bus trip chartered by a LQS. We met at the Kenosha County administration complex and boarded the bus to depart promptly at 7 a.m. We arrived at 9 a.m. just as the doors opened.

Bucky Badger and the University of Wisconsin Pep Band rallied the quilters.

I like to do the exhibits first and save the shopping for ...

Wisconsin Quilt Expo 2022 from With Strings Attached

The Wisconsin Quilt Expo was back in person this weekend at the Alliant Center on the south edge of Madison. PBS Wisconsin and Nancy Zieman Productions have hosted the show for many years. I joined a bus trip organized by a local quilt shop -- in fact, we filled two coach buses. It's so much easier to let someone else drive but it does make for a long day. I picked up Irene at 6:15 and we were at the Kenosha County Center by 6:45. Departure 7 a.m., return 7 p.m., and then a half hour ...
