This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting an Antique and Primitives show in Arthur, Arcola and Tuscola, Illinois. It was beyond my imagination and extremely fun. Myself and 3 great friends set off early last Friday morning full of excitement at the gorgeous things we would find.
A wonderful two days was spent shopping and enjoying all the treasures we found. Then it was time to part ways and be on my way to a small quilt retreat with other friends. Sadly I could only spend 2 days retreating - but it was so worth it for the fun girl time we had!
Here's a few pictures I took of quilts on display at the antiques and primitives show!
My wonderful lunch at a sweet and charming tea room!
My loaded vehicle with all the goodies purchased between ourselves!

Wow, what fantastic pictures of an obviously Big Fun Girly few days!
I like the quilt in the first picture. The one with the big cheddar squares. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. I haven't had a chance to do something like that in oh so long.
I am sitting here with your Wool Rug Hooking book in front of me!

You saw some wonderful antique quilts. The question is, " how many were in those bags?" :-)
Oh.....I wish I could have come along too. Some beautiful quilts.
Wow, what a great day! I use to live a short drive from the Arcola area. I always enjoyed going there.
Oh, you were so lucky to go shopping through there. The worn-out quilt at bottom of 2nd photo...was there any info on that one?
