I have been out of town – first at our guild Beach Retreat from July 11-14. Got home Monday afternoon on the fourteenth from the retreat – unloaded everything into the studio – packed new bags and headed out early Tuesday morning, the fifteenth, for West Virginia. I carried 13 quilts with me to be entered into the WV State Guild Show. I spent the rest of the week helping with the show, visiting the show, visiting with family and friends, and of course, quilt shop hopping. Drove home yesterday and today is recuperation day. I have lots of pictures to download from the camera and will be posting pics and reports daily beginning tonight. Right now it’s laundry, putting everything away here in the house and up in the studio, and getting some much needed rest.

Hi, there! I just discovered your blog and love it. I have bookmarked it and will visit again. I think we were on the Pat Sloan Yahoo group together. Didn’t you used to call your quilting room, “the sweat shop”? That used to crack me up! Vera in KC

Glad to have you safely home! We missed you….and, thx for letting quilts from the gang go along for the ride (and the show). It’s great to have the opportunity to learn from yet another quilt judge’s expertise, and we would not have entered the WV show had you not made the trip.
