Street Directory Quilt Update
 

Am I the only one who struggles to keep up with social media nowadays LOL. I love reading the quilting blogs and forums, especially this one but I find life gets in the way, walking for exercise (2 hours per day) eats into my precious quilting time and the weeks zoom by without any interaction.


I thought some of you might be interested to know that my Street Directory Quilt now hangs in the local Civic Centre Gallery and will be there until the end of July. It will then hang in the local Visitor Information Centre from September for the summer season and influx of tourists to our town. I have had my '15 seconds of fame' - a radio interview with a local radio station, an article in the local newspaper and an afternoon tea/viewing at the Gallery, with over 70 people coming along to view the quilt.


It is lovely to hear such lovely and positive comments about the quilt, see everyone immediately search for their street, family members' streets and try and find the many landmarks, objects and animals quilted into the quilt.


Now I am happy to 'enjoy our wintery days' beside the warm woodheater and getting some much needed quilting done on various other quilts.

Well deserved accolades for a unique quilt.

Lyn, you must be very proud to have your quilt on display where people can enjoy your talent and hard work. What a nice newspaper article too. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

Your quilt is fantastic but I am also impressed by you walking for 2 hours a day! Wish I could get myself out the door!

Walking 2 hrs/day: What amazing feet!!

This is an amazing quilt! I looked back at your earlier posting, wherein you illustrate how you went about creating this wonderful work of art. WOW!!! I am in awe ...

You and the lady making maps of Australia (on the Quilting Board) should get together!!! I love this quilt.
