It only seems appropriate to finish up the week with a post about Paducah!
Paducah is a small town which comes to life every Spring. What the Quilting world has done for Paducah has taken a little dot on the map and brought it world wide fame.
The murals on the flood walls depict the history of Paducah on the Ohio River.
The taste of Kirchhoff's Bakery is not to be missed -
"
The Finkle building which houses
the Hurt Book Sales.
The National Quilt Museum
The city that welcomes Quilters from all over the world........

That wall is soooo awesome! Great pictures, enjoyed the journey!
What a wonderful trip it must have been! Thanks so much for sharing your quilting adventure with us!
I hope one day to make it to Paducah for the quilt show. It seems like a wonderful place!
Oh my gosh! What a wonderful city! I love visiting places that have maintained their older and original buildings and kept them open for business...like the bakery, YUM! The bookstore was looking pretty inviting too. Those flood wall murals are breathtaking in the photos, I can't imagine how beautiful they are up close and personal. So much talent! I love the band in the gazebo too...well, I guess I could have kept this shorter by simply saying I love all of the photos, LOL. Thanks so much for sharing your Paducah adventure with us. It has been the next best thing to being there. Thanks also for a chance at to win this wonderful book, I am just starting my applique adventures, learning by trial and error and having a delightful time trying different things.(trying is the key word here, LOL) Hugs...

Looks like a dream trip. The photos are outstanding. Applique is my rusty area that needs to be cleaned up a bit.
