Our show was a great success thanks in part to the guild members who volunteered their time all week. Thanks to the hundreds of visitors who came to see the display in our little Acadian corner. The excitement was built up all week and on Friday a very special guest drove the 6 hour drive to visit the show. Karen Neary and hubby. Soooooo good to see them both. I just wish we would have had more time. Oh well October will soon be here for her workshop "Roundabout" to which I am registered.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! The view from the balcony is amazing! Great job by your entire quild.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular!
ReplyDeleteJoan, the show was simply incredible; having the quilts displayed in that beautiful sanctuary was breathtaking. It was well worth the long drive and I hope I can come again another year. I also enjoyed talking with you and hearing all the wonderful things your guilde is initiating to carry on the quilting tradition in your area. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you to you, Elaine, and Simone (the other Simone!) for the warmth and hospitality; we felt very welcomed.
