Oh, I hope you were able to attend the show this weekend. I did see some of you linger for hours. I was there for two days and I wonder if I really saw all the quilts! It's a biannual show...our guild starts planning for the next one right away!
For LOLQOV, we had some machine quilters step up and take 13 quilt tops!! A lot of women (and men) taking the handouts for the Basic Information, our monthly sew-ins and the handout on the upcoming sew-ins in Winfield and Westmont. More hands--less work for the rest of us!! And our troops get covered! I also enjoyed putting some faces to the names of some of our machine quilters who pick up tops at the shop. Some stopped by as well. I hate that I'm getting worse at remembering names, so ya just might have to remind me...again and again. Don't get me started on the "golden" years!
Oh, and we had a couple presentations...two Vietnam veterans. That was neat...it was spontaneous and I am so glad that members of my guild were able to witness. I get asked..so what does a quilt do for them? Well, ya just have to experience a presentation to really know. I really wasn't prepared. Brought quilts for the display but didn't have any pillowcases with me. Well, we had a QOV dropped off and it was neat that she got to see whom her quilt went to. Hope to get a picture or two from someone to be able to post.
So, onto getting the kits ready for the sew-in October 30th.
