Yep, according to the calendar, not only is it May, but our May meeting is TONIGHT!
Due to an increase in babysitting resulting in a decrease of time, and an increase in cold symptoms resulting in a decrease in energy, this blog has been sadly neglected.
When I am fully recovered and get a day off (if those two ever happen together), I will write a more complete post. For now, here are some photos I've been meaning to share.
This is the corn crib at the museum (Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts). Our donation, plus the donations of others, made the restoration possible. Good job us!
This is the blue and yellow quilt top we made blocks for many years ago. The photo here was taken as my friend Joey Mahieu was loading it on her long arm machine at her shop in Mineral Point.
The group made blocks, and I put them together, but the top languished for literally years. Here you can see some of the beautiful quilting Joey did on it.
And here it is from another angle. While Joey was working on it, a customer asked if it was for sale. She offered $300, Joey called me, and I accepted for us. The lady got the quilt, and the museum got the check. Joey donated her time and expertise, the backing, and the batting. She forgot to take a photo when it was all done. (I think we'll forgive her!)
Lastly, here's our recent group photo. I think it appeared on Facebook, but just in case you haven't seen it, here it is. Isn't this a great bunch of gals?
Don't forget tonight's meeting, 7:00, usual place. There's nothing like getting together with other quilters.
Before you know it, it will be June!
