I'm BACK! Last weekend I drove out to Clifton Park NY. (I took the 3 hour 31 minute route. It wound through the mountains in Vermont and was very scenic. I did not want to travel on the Mass Pike and 495 (the dark blue route.)
I gave a trunk show on Finding Inspiration and taught a workshop to the Quilt North group in Clifton Park. As you can see we had a grand time.
Speaking of Inspiration, my contact at the guild, Laura, were coming out of a shop and across the parking lot was this building. I took one look at it and stopped to take a picture. "This would make a terrific quilt! Look at those colors and those shapes," I exclaimed. "Gonna store that away for later." Laura stopped beside me. "Yeah, you're right. What do you do with the pictures you take?" I told her I put them in a folder or album on my phone called "Inspiration," so when I need ideas I can find them all in one place.
I'll show. you more of the birds the group made later, but right now I'm just so happy to be home and have all the quilts back where they belong.
I brought 23 quilts. That's a lot. This hotel rack came in super handy when it was time to move them all around.
I got home, emptied the car and the suitcase. I put the dirty clothes in the washing machine, and then unpacked my quilts. Since I store them in my closet, I fold them lengthwise after the trunk show. Makes it so much easier to put them away again.
This makes me happy!
I put all the quilts back on the walls where they belonged. I love the Quick Brown Fox quilt so much!
I visited a quilt shop and bought some low key fabrics. These will be Lights in either Macnas or Scrap Slab Triangle quilts in the future. I've since run them through the washing machine and now I have to iron them.
I had a great time, and I'm glad to be back home in my own house and my own bed!

Welcome! There's no place like home ;-)
How often do you refold to prevent creases?
Glad you had a good class and that you made it home safe and sound. As nice as it is to go some place new it is just as nice to come home, sweet home!
Wow what a successful Trunk Show you gave Lynne. Those ladies were lucky to have you in person. I love your fox piece too.
That route through (actually over) the mountains is wonderful, but not in the rain, which is what we experienced. Glad your trip went well and that the trunk show was a hit.
Hooray for home! Take it easy now for a bit.
