Today the sun was shining, the birds were singing and thousands of quilters were enjoying a great event. Wendy and I have been busy doing all the normal Paducah things – praise the Lord! It really came together. The wall quilts and classes are all at First Baptist Church. It has a beautiful lobby:
And the wall quilts are displayed very nicely (if I do say so myself 🙂 in the Great Room: 
I took an excellent class from RaNae Merrill on Spiral Mandalas. She shared many good tips and techniques:
The problem with taking a class is that you don’t get to go out and enjoy the sunshine. We’ll make up for that tomorrow. We have nothing to do but hit the vendors, wander the artist district in Lo Town and have lunch at Grace Episcopal church. We are so blessed.
So tomorrow I’ll post some pics with sunshine, but in parting I’ll leave you with this picture of me with Quiltman at the National Quilt Museum reception (his sidekick, Bobbin Boy, didn’t make it into the picture). 
Only in Paducah :-)!!!

Oh my goodness! Have to wonder what Bobbin Boy looks like. So funny! Happy to hear things are working out well for the Quilt Show in Paducah, what with all the terrible weather going on down south. Be safe! Regards to Wendy too.

Enjoy your visit and play for me, too!

That is one secure man who will go out in public dressed like that!!
