Re: Happy National Quilting Day!!!

What!? I didn't even know there was a National Quilting Day! I hope I get time and a half at work, but probably won't happen. I don't really know what one does on National Quilting Day ... quilt ALL DAY I suppose? But thanks you MSQC for your 10% discount ... that is certainly a good day to celebrate.

Re: Happy National Quilting Day!!!

Ooh! I celebrated!!! I went to my non-local quilt shop (That means I came up to MO and the MSQC!!) and designed a new pattern!!! Woohoo! It's cute and not quite finished yet but somebody's gonna get a cute baby girl quilt and I'll have a new table runner and hopefully a cute pattern left over So yes! Happy National Quilting day!!

PS That's why I've been fairly non existent on the blogs lately

Re: Happy National Quilting Day!!!

Yes, I knew about National Quilt Day -- and to celebrate, 2 co-workers and I went to the "Great American Cover-Up" Quilt Show and Sale at Bulloch Hall, Roswell, GA where over 160 gorgeous quilts were displayed by the Buloch Hall Quilt Guild. This was there 27th annual event. I try to go each year and take someone with me in an effort to help promote quilting. The setting is a gorgeous historic home built in 1840 by James Bulloch for his wife, Martha, and their 6 children. In 1853 their daughter, Mittie, married Theodore Roosevelt, who became our 26th president.
However, before going to the show, we met at one of my co-worker's home, and took time for a tour of her home!!! Oh, WOW, WOW, WOW!!! She is a quilt lover -- not a quilt creator -- doesn't even sew!! If she likes what she sees, she purchases it (if the price is within her means, of course)!! She has purchased many gorgeous quilts -- vintage and contemporary. They are dispalyed on railings, on shelves of antique furniture, and (you have to see it to believe it) folded just right -- a clawfeet bathtub full of them!!! They are in just one long row in the tub -- all folded the width of the tub!! And (can you believe it!!??) her grandchildren have been allowed to sleep on top of them!!! It was a "show" before the show!!! I will never forget the great tour of her home!!!

What a great way to spend the day whether it's NQD or not!! Your friend sounds wonderful and fun. I think I would get a giggle out of seeing a bathtub full of quilts. I'm in Alabama...so I'll have to keep an eye out for this next year, thanks for telling us about it!! Sounds like a great event.
