l think l've died and gone to Heaven!!!!

Some of the Secret Sewing Sisters delivered about 60 of their quilts yesterday  
and then another 40  this morning.
We had a quick look. And l am sure l've died and gone to heaven!! Quilting Heaven that is!! Is there anything more delightful than beautiful quilts spread on the floor, one on top of the other. The choice and range of quilts is something to behold.




l had some none quilting friends for dinner last night,  and told them l had decided to
give up  quilting after seeing all the  beautiful quilts today. .
Why? they asked, with blank looks on their faces.  And so l laid a few quilts out for them on the floor.
They just DON"T UNDERSTAND!!!!

If it's at all possible to catch a plane,  a train, a bus, or a  boat, ride your bike or hope in the car, and come next weekend, l can promise you, you won't be disappointed.

And if their's no one here and no quilts next weekend, it because
 l've loaded them all in the car and run away!!!

Thanks for visiting,
Linda.

  2. LOL! Linda, don't give up quilting! Your quilts look to your non-quilting friends like these quilts look to you!! :-D I always comfort myself by saying I'm not the worst quilter in the room and neither am I the best -- so all pressure is off! LOL
    I "blew up" the pictures -- and my they are stunning! Take lots of pictures of them hanging!
    Blessings,

  13. The show will be amazing with the amazing work the ladies do. If you run away, I have a nice guestroom. The cost is simple, half the quilts!
    Remember to post lots of great pics for those of us who cannot come!

  19. Beautiful quilts they are but you have your own talents that you bring to quilting- I suspect that you are like the rest of us who quilt and have the bug for it- You could no more quit quilting than you could breathing. It is a wonderful thing you do hosting this gorgeous show- I only wish I lived closer- I will admire and drool from a far in Canada.
    Warmest regards,
    Anna
