Hey! Watchya doin’ today? Got anything fun planned? If you don’t, I’ve got an option for you. There’s a quilt show out here at the Fairgrounds (here’s a link to a Google Map) today.

I have 4 quilts displayed in it. One is the quilt that we made at the baby shower in September. Remember that? Another is a quilt I made that LightGirl usually has on her bed. Another is an antique quilt that goes in my guest room. The fourth is another baby quilt I made with a friend. Then there are about 200 other quilts there. AND … you get to meet some of my favorite people. My quilting buddies and see some of their artistry too. I’ll be working at various booths til 3 so you can see me there til then. Or if you come in the mid-afternoon I can walk around too. But I’ll be really into the quilts and will probably go slower than you might want to.

Here’s a picture of one of my quilts that I couldn’t bear to part with long enough to have it in the show. It’s called “Cakestands for Charlotte Evelyn.” The quiltblock pattern is called “cakestands”. Charlotte Evelyn is a compilation of both of my grandmothers’ names, because the fabrics remind me of one grandmother and it was pieced on my other grandmother’s old Singer Featherweight 221 (which is a highly prized machine among quilters). I finished this quilt with enough time to start sleeping under it before it was time to put it in the show and then … I fell off the cliff in the Mines of Moria. And I needed my grandmothers with me at night. So … it stayed home and became “my blankie.” It can go in next year.
