On the Road Again

This beautiful California poppies piece is shown by its maker, Kay Dellinger.  It was created in a Lenore Crawford class.

I spent this morning with the Piecemakers Quilt Guild in beautiful Lincolnton NC.  Mist was still rising from the Catawba River as I headed to the foothills of the Blue Ridge.  I should have planned better and taken a day to enjoy the mountain color.  The leaves are gorgeous.

I was greeted warmly by Fran Love who helped unload my “trunk show.”  I think quilters always enjoy seeing and examining the actual quilts.  We had a great time together seeing lots of my work and members’ show and tell.

I was thrilled to see long-time friend  Doris Phillips in the audience.  Doris was one of the first to welcome me to the Charlotte Quilters Guild when I was a new member many moons ago.  A quilter extraordinaire whose pieces are always perfectly square and hug the wall, Doris is a master in that regard.  I’m sorry we didn’t get our picture taken together.  Next time……

Following the meeting, a bunch of us gathered at The Lincoln House for lunch.  Thanks, everyone.  It was such a fun day!
