Always the gracious lady to sign her books.
Now if you have ever been to Paducah, you know about the QIAD Tent. Thousands of yards of first quality fabric on sale for $5 a yard. The color of the day will earn you 50c off.And this year (perhaps because of the weather) they opened their Warehouse for yet even more bolts of fabric.
Long lines, but it was well worth the wait.
The permanent Downtown Store also invited us to look for some amazing fabric from $3 to $5 a yard.So what's a quilter to do?? Yep, you got it, add some fabric to the stash!!
I did a lot better this year then the first time I went to Paduach ;-)And because you have come along with me on this Paducah adventure, I want to share a little giveaway with you. Here is what I'd love to give to you. The Lattice Work quilt pattern and your choice of two yards of either blue or
brown and pink fabric.
No hoops to jump through. Just leave a comment on this post and tell me which color way you would like. Winner will be announced on Tuesday.I've got just a little more to share tomorrow :-D
Happy Quilting!

I LOVE the pink and brown. What town is that quilt warehouse in? Sounds like a fun trip!
What fun! I have several of her books and I have met her sister, but I have never met Eleanor before. Maybe one day... I really like pink and brown these days, but blue and yellow is always a nice combo too...tough choice!
How fun! Thank you for sharing your story - it's almost like I got to come along, too :-) I love the blue and yellow! Did you get a book signed by Eleanor? I have a give-away, too...please visit http://www.rocknquilts.blogspot.com Mary Ann

Your Paducah adventure sounds like so much fun. I love Eleanor Burns and seeing her in the space suit was delightful! Thanks for sharing those photos. Thanks for a chance in your giveaway and if I am lucky enough to win, I would prefer the blue fabric. Hugs...
Thanks for sharing, I love to see all the lovely quilts and dream that one day I may just be able to produce something like them. My choice would be pink and brown.
What a great trip! I actually met Eleanor in Des Moines at the AQS this fall, and of course I bought a couple of her patterns. This pattern looks interesting, and I think I like the blue fabric.
Thanks for sharing your adventure. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway. My choice would be the blue fabric.
What a nice giveaway. I'd love to own the book and the blue fabric. Thanks for the opportunity.
Eleanors' books were what got me hooked on quilting!! Such a gracious and funny lady! Makes me smile every time! Blue is my all time favorite color. Thanks Eleanor!!
Oh this is so fun. The class that Mom & I took a couple of years ago was based on one of her books. She just looks sweet!! Thank you for showing us this. For people like me that has never got to go this is really something seeing the pics!!!

Thanks for sharing the pictures, it looks like a blast (pun intended). I'd go for the brown and pink. Thanks for the chance!
*SIGH* I wish I had gone with you, you went to way more places than we did. We rode the shuttle to the Office Max/Circuit City lot then were too pooped to do any more. Never made it back out there. Well, there is next year, tho! :)
I love the pink and brown combination!
Thanks for the chance!

Hi there, I hope someday to get there as well as to Houston. Please enter me in the drawing-what a sweet thing to do. I love the pink and brown. I have made one quilt by Eleanor and loved it-so easy so making another would be so much fun!
Hugs today.

I have always wanted to go, but you're making it so fun it's as if I am along with you. Eleanor is just a delightful person and makes everyone feel special. Oh and I'd like the blue if I were to win.

Someday I'll get to Paduca for the Really Big Show! LOL
Of course, I'd like the brown and pink fabric, I'll add it t my current quilt for my Dragon Boat team! Thanks for the giveaway!
Take care, Leslie
You are sooo lucky! I have been collecting Eleanor Burns' books for the last couple of years and have finally built up the courage to start my first quilt. I dream of the day that I can make some of her creations. *sigh* I love the brown and pink fabric. Thank you for the wonderful coverage of this Show and for such a generous giveaway! :)
That sounds like such a fun way to spend the day and you came back with lovely fabrics!! Ohh... very beautiful pattern.. I would choose the blue. Yum!
What a wonderful time you had!! And more fabric for a fabriholic....we can never have too much!! Right? I would love the brown and pink combo if chosen. (I really love blue but this would give me a change for spring).
I want to go next year. It looks so amazing. Thanks for sharing with us. Also, thanks for the great giveaway, I would love the brown and pink. Have a great Mother's Day.
That Eleanor is such a hoot. I bet it was a great show :0)
Crispy - Please don't put me in the drawing as I wouldn't use the pattern and it should go to someone who will use it :0)
The blue looks great. Happy Mother's Day!
What a fun trip! I met Eleanor last year and love her sense of humor. Great buys you found too! :-) Love the brown/pink~ thanks for the fun giveaway!
Hi Jocelyn! Your posts on Paducah have been wonderful. I can't get motivated to write my posts:) Photos are loaded, just no words.
I love that pattern! And the blue fabric. I sure hope to get to the Paducah show someday. Better save my money and make some room for fabric!
Fabulous and fun pattern.
Would love to win

Sounds like a fun day out. Looks like you had a great time. Bit far for me to ever go!
Looks like you had a wonderful day! :) I'd love to win the blue fabric! It's beautiful!!
I've been to Paducah before, but never to the quilt museum. Do you ever go to Hancock's of Paducah? Anyway, looks like you had a great time, and what a lovely giveaway. I think I would like the brown and pink if I won. Have a wonderful day!
I've never been to any quilt shows, and would love to go. Eleanor Burns looks like she is such a super sweet lady, and it's nice to know she is what she appears to be. And I'd love the brown and pink if I won. It's beautiful. Thanks for thinking of us and being so generous with your purchase.
I like the blue and yellow. I've been to several trunk shows by Eleanor's sister ...she is a hoot!
blue and Yellow is my favourite color combination!
Brown and pink please - reminds me of chocolate and strawberry icecream - yummy. I want to go to Paducah when I grow up!! Thank you for the opportunity to win.
