Another year’s pilgrimage to Paducah is but a memory. In spite of a lot of rain and the coldest temps I can remember during quilt week, it was a wonderful trip with many highlights. The dogwoods were at their blooming peak! The quilts were stunning and inspiring! My classes were filled with delightful, enthusiastic and talented students! The vendors were way too tempting. Fun times were spent with good friends! And there were many giggles along the way. I wasn’t as good as I should have been about snapping pics, but here are some special times I did capture:
Wendy’s birthday lunch at Grace Church with a special rendition of Happy Birthday by Quiltman and Bobbin!
Yummy, good times!
Quilting on the back of the Best of Show quilt by Renae Haddadin and Karen Kay Buckley.
Hanging around with dear friends Hazel and Evelyn after a “Bubble Tea” at Etcetera.
Hanging the Milwaukee Art Quilter’s group entry: The Jenning’s Quilt and
Accepting the third place award from Bonnie Browning with fellow Marq member Judy Zoelzer-Levine.
Watching a very enthusiastic employee at Kirchoff Bakery doing the “basket dance” while waiting for our delicious sandwiches.
Dinner with friends at JP’s.
Making good use of car time on the ride home with the Quiltsissies observing (more on them in a future post :-))

Congratulations on your winning quilt. I’ve been waiting to hear if you “made the stage”.

I have trouble cutting when i’m at home with my table. I can’t imagine trying to cut on my lap in a traveling car. I would probably slash my leg.

Hi Mary Lou,
Wendy was just squaring up blocks and she promised me “no blood”. It was a thick cutting mat and she actually got a lot done.

The picture of the dogwood flowers looks like a great idea for a future wall hanging ?
Were the home-grown strawberries ripe? brought home several boxes when there. Glad to see Evelyn in the picture. Looks like a great time was had by your group, hopefully will be able to go back in 2015.

Chris–enjoyed your Beyond Meandering class in Paducah–you gave me new hope that I can improve my machine quilting!
