I spent today at the Dallas Quilt Show with other members of DMQG....and many many other folks. I saw two of my pals from the DMGQ friendship group and I even saw a friend I made during my harrowing H.H. class last August. We embraced each other like POW pals...really!
The show did not disappoint...it was a feast for the eyes!
I hope you enjoyed the virtual tour. It was a FUN DAY and many vendors there willing to sell you wonderful things!! I was willing to buy some wonderful things....two of my friends scored a jelly roll of Denyse Schmidt's Katie Jump Rope and one friend purchased a wonderful Lone Star Quilt done in 30s fabric....I found one of those also!! By 1:00 p.m., I was pooped....I may or may not have taken a nap this afternoon after I got home! :)
Of course, once I got home, I saw all news on the tsunami and devastation in Japan....saying a prayer for them....I believe a donation to the Red Cross is in order.
The show did not disappoint...it was a feast for the eyes!
