| My Original Whimsy Lane Pattern |
It's been awhile since we've done a guild show....
and I forgot how much fun they are.
Example....
The Guild Chairman Evelyn Mosley...
brought us an organic orange and tangerine
from the tree in her yard...
And then this darling 12 year old girl came up to me
and wanted to show me her first quilt
that she had made completely herself
adapted from my Whimsy Lane pattern...
When we have been off the road for a few months
it is always interesting....
the first set up of the year!
But somehow we managed to get the booth put together...

| My Demo Table |
 | |
| My French Apron Pattern |
 |
| The other side of my demo table... |
And now for the beautiful quilts hanging in the show....
 |
| An incredible Cathedral Window Quilt |
 |
| A quilt made from my Pinkilicious Pattern |
 | |
| This was the most awesome 'Signature' Quilt I have ever seen! |
 |
| Signatures from all the piano students, friends and family for the recipient. |
there was an Antique Bed Turning in the back room.
An Antique Bed Turning
incorporates a bed laden with quilts...
and as each one of them is held up, the story is told about the quilt...
 |
| Very unusual to find a 6 pointed Star |
They are then folded over at the end of the bed...
to reveal the next quilt...
A Moustache Band!
They were used at the top of the quilt,
to protect the quilt from a man's moustache!
And at the end while the Guitar Man was breaking down,
my ex-husband's aunt, Claudia
picked me up to take me to dinner at
a fabulous place called Julianna's
This wonderful lady made me a handmade Grandmother's Flower Garden...
King Size...
hand pieced, hand quilted....
when I married her nephew.
I am sad to say I was 18...
and used it until it was in threads...
and then lost it in a move!
This was long before I was a quilter myself.
Oh...the follies of youth.
The other person in the pic is my nephew's wife Denita.
I had to take Guitar Man back there
to have a meal with him.
I had him pose with this metal mariachi band.
If you look close below...
there were these amazing and noisy birds....
serenading us while we ate too.
