Quilt Show at The Tabernacle

Last Saturday a friend and I went on a house tour of Mt. Tabor, NJ, where there were charming cottages and a quilt show at The Tabernacle meeting house. You can read more about this quaint Methodist camp meeting ground in a previous post here.  

We walked up and down the rows to get a close look at all the quilts that were draped over the pews.    


Japanese Lantern 


One of my favorites. A simple Nine Patch set with alternate squares, strips, and half square triangles in the borders. 



Log Cabin Straight Furrows 


Log Cabin Streak of Lightning

 
Log Cabin Sunshine and Shadows 
Silk 


Lend and Borrow


LeMoyne Star 
Worn but interesting.


Crazy Quilt 
with
lace edging


Made by 12-year old Bessie Bridge Knowles in 1895. 


Bricks 

Stay tuned. Two more favorites will be in tomorrow's post :)

    Quilt shows are motivating if you're there in person or get to enjoy them in your post.

    Great quilts - who's were they? Did you know that I had a one woman show there years ago? I had about 90 pieces on display. I love the cottage tours too -
