Another quilter on exhibit was Sharon Schlotzhauer whose applique and 3-D quilts were also amazing. I was very impressed with her use of pieced prairie points in the curvy lines of this quilt.
Many of her quilts included beads and other shiny things, along with hand applique.
The sheer simplicity of this quilt really inspired me to try something similar very soon.
All in all, it was a peaceful trip with lots of family time. Mom is 101 and still pretty sharp although she is a little less mobile than when I saw her last year. We sat on the back porch, chatted, and watched the birds and gardens a lot. I handsewed some Manx quilt blocks which are turning out pretty nice.
Now that we are home, it's time to get back in the swing of busy-ness, with lots of fall events coming up.

amazing that your mom still gets around fairly good. I went to the museum in Golden years ago I can't even remember when and barely remember the place - it is a small place isn't it? but very nice if I remember right.
