It's over for the year! The Nederland Heritage Festival began in 1973 as Nederland celebrated its 75th birthday. A committee was formed to organize events for Nederland’s Diamond Jubilee. The event was such a success that organizers decided that it should become an annual event and the Nederland Heritage Festival was born. This is truly a fun time for all; old and young. The concessions (food vendors) are set up by Tuesday at 4 pm and close on Sunday about 5 pm. The carnival rides start around 5 pm every day, except all day on Saturday & Sunday. There are craft booths set up for the weekend. Activities include a Chili Cook off, Old Car Show, a Pageant, Music Show, Art Show, etc. My DH is active in his KC group and heads up the etofee cooking.
This year, I stayed home and babysat mostly. So, I had time to work on my Postage Stamp squares. I have cut out about 600 squares so far. Have traded half of these; still waiting on some of my trades to come home. I have 215 squaes sewed together; four completed blocks and rows ready to complete. My blocks are 10" square; 36 squares each. I have a long way to go!
Awesome Lynn and looks like a lot of work...how many of these do you plan to make and what are you going to do with them after you finish them. I think that many tiny squares would drive me crazy...Your going to have an awesome quilt when you finish it :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful job you're doing with your postage stamp quilt. Love it. Looks like the trading is going well for you, and you're having fun. Keep us updated with new pictures as it grows.
ReplyDeleteLynn, the festival sounds like a fun time. I love the work your doing on the postage stamp. I can't wait to see more pictures of it.

Thanks for the comments. Nancy, I'm not sure what I'll make -- might be as small as a table runner or as long as a full size quilt. We'll see.......
ReplyDeleteLynn, you do awesome work. The quilt is beautiful. Festival sounds like fun also.
