It has now been quilted and is waiting to be bound. I pieced the backing for the Trip Around the World wedding quilt for my husband's niece.
I arrived in Paducha Tuesday afternoon and spent several hours drooling over fabrics at Hancocks... and burning up the credit card!
I bunked with Wanda (from Alaska) and her friend Terry. We went to TGIFridays for dinner and a "rousing" game of trivia! LOL!
Wednesday through Saturday I rented a cottage with Barbara, a friend from church. It was a very relaxing place to be after a busy show and classes.
We set up tables and featherweights in the living room and enjoyed the view of the Grand River, watching tugboats go by... pushing barges of coal .
Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday I signed up for classes (more on that later) and spent time at the show. But Friday we spent all day relaxing in the cottage sewing and chatting.... except for an afternoon exercise break when we walked down the hill and out to the end of that jetty and back.
There was the mandatory "Sloanie" meet-up on Thursday with Pat Sloan
Pat laid out her blocks for the Splendid Sampler... an online sew-along that she is hosting. There will be 100 six inch blocks made when this is done!
And no trip to Paducha would be complete without a dinner at Patti's 1880 Settlement. Great restaurant... great food... great friends... old and new.
