Coincidentally, there was a local quilt show on at Oakhurst on the Saturday we were at Mariposa.  As it was only about a half an hour drive, we piled into Trina’s car on Saturday morning to take a look.  For a small show there were a lot of quilts!  Caroline and I both found it really instructive to go around some of the show with Helen (who also quilts other people’s quilts with a long arm quilting machine and so was able to explain some of the finer points of what we were seeing) and Trina, just becaue they both know so much more about what they are looking at than we do.  So below is Caroline with an enormous string quilt and then a quilt from a pattern called Celtic Solstice – I don’t have the patience for this sort of quilt, but I admire those who do!
