Hope this link works. I put up a few pictures I took today:
Quilt Walk and Car Show

Our weather has turned nice again so it was a great day to hold this. Five blocks were closed off in the center of the village. That's basically all of our commercial core. There weren't as many quilts as usual cause the fee this year to enter them was $10, which is expensive. In past years it's been $5 for 3 quilts. This year all money was going to our local Hospital and that's why we wanted to raise the fee. Other years it went to smaller pubic services like batting for quilts for Victim's Services.
Kid Cadillac performs every year, mostly 50's rock. There was another guy this year down by the Legion singing more contemporary songs and then there was other music blasting so everywhere you went it felt like a carnival.. which is a good thing. It's neat to have all the streets closed off to cars and be able to just mingle. A LOT of guys enter their cars. I've taken only a few of the ones that I liked. There's a lot of muscle cars too... guys trying to show their stuff. It's funny to hear them peeling off at the end of the show. It's absolutely not anything we normally would hear around here.
Tired now. Hope you enjoy the photos. I LOVED the ones they were showing in our Museum.

LOVE all the pictures! I think my favorite quilts were the ones in the baby room! Thanks for sharing! It looks like a really good time!
Your photos are great. I especially enjoyed looking at the crazy quilt. What a lovely quilt that is. Thanks for sharing.
What a great combination! I wonder if I can convince my DH to fly out to see that next year.
