3 Attachment(s)
I drove up to Anthony, KS today for quilt guild...(does anyone else drive an hour into the wilderness for a guild meeting?)
in that wonderful little guild is this lady named Ms Lois....Ms Lois is super amazing and always has a needle flying... here she is showing off some of her mini's...these were the big ones, I blurred the pix of the really mini ones...anyway..when showing them off, she came to my table and said here, help me hold these up..as if..anyway..I got up and she said here look at this...it was a mini wholecloth made from a stencil I gave her at our meeting just 3 weeks ago! I said wow...you did that in 3 weeks..and she said yes, and I normally don't label my quilts, but I did this one..read what it says...so I did... it said, To Jacquie Campbell from Lois Gaug Harper, KS 2011! I cried...how wonderful to receive such a Lagniappe! I was overwhelmed.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]301285[/ATTACH]MS Loise holding up two of her mini quilts.
