To Calais We Will Go!

 Hi There!

We headed off early, this morning, to Calais, Maine!

We wanted to do some shopping and to see the "St. Croix International Quilters 2012 Quilt Show"!

What a rainy day!

On the way there, I noticed that the trees are starting to change colors.

 

 We went to Mardens and spent a good hour there....
and spent some money, too!

LOL

One of the customers, while waiting for our turn at the cash,
told us about this fairly new restaurant with GREAT food.

Yancy's Restaurant

332 North Street

Calais, Maine

(on the same side as "Family Dollarz" and almost right beside it)

We went.
We ate.
We left happy.
EXCELLENT FOOD!!!

From there, we went to the Quilt show.

I spotted this Orca Bay Mystery Quilt,

within 2 minutes!!!

*VBG*

This was their "Back to Nature Raffle Quilt"

In case you're curious,

the answer is "No."

The draw was yesterday and

"No", we didn't win it.

:-(

I still don't care for quilt shows

that drap their quilts on church benches.

And YES, I can understand that

it's probably less work and hassle

if you have to hang them up....

But I still prefer "hung" quilts.

*s*

This heart and sheep quilt touched my heart!

Close-up of the sheep block.

Close-up of the heart block.

And yet ANOTHER close-up of the sheep block.

And a much better picture of the quilt...

That's about it!

Had a grand time,

in Calais!
