Hello everyone, long time no see. Being President of Minnesota Quilters Inc. does take up a bit of time in my schedule, our annual show was a week ago and it was wonderful as usual. Lots of hard work but very fun and rewarding. The quilts were absolutely incredible, both in the judged and the non-judged and the special exhibits. There will be photos soon on the MQ web site. Here is one quilt I want to show you, it was pieced by Kathleen Winters, a fellow MQ Board member and I quilted it for her, we won a "Show Chair's" ribbon.
I have quilted for Kathleen before and her color choices are always amazing and this quilt was no exception, very dramatic.
I needed to come home a day early, so missed the last day of the show and all the work of take down, so sad (hee hee, really didn't miss the hard work) but it was important for me to be home. My DS and family came to visit from Montana and we were celebrating a very special graduation. My granddaughter Mary Amanda graduated, WITH HONORS, in just 3 years time. She skipped her junior year and still came out on top of her class. We are sooooooo proud of her. She will now go on to school at University of Montana, Missoula for a nursing degree. So anyway here is a photo of our sweet girl.
There is another quilter blogger that shares some of my wonderful grandchildren and she sent a package to me a few weeks ago, it contained 2 quilts. One for a neighbor of my Montana family, she is a doctor and helped our grandson Jack when he was severely burn on his leg, and has also helped with many other "sick" days with Kathryn. As a thank you Polly wanted to give a quilt, so Grandma Marcie pieced and Grandma Mary quilted and Polly will add the binding. A great family thank you. The second quilt was for Kathryn, our youngest grandchild, who one day when she wasn't feeling well complained that the quilt on her bed really wasn't hers, she wanted one that her Grandma made just for her. So again Grandma Marcie pieced and Grandma Mary quilted and Mom will again add the binding. They are almost finished and I will put up photos soon. It is great having the family here even though I haven't seen much of them. They went to the lake for a few days but are expected back today for the rest of the week. Poor Chris had to return home for work but the rest of them are having a great time visiting old friends and family.
