Busy Days
Monday we had an appointment in town and Tuesday I drove up to Lawrence for the Kaw Valley Quilt Guild meeting so very little was accomplished here on the goat quilt. I was pleased to find out that I got TWO Viewer’s Choice awards at the Kaw Valley Quilt Guild show this spring! they were for “Lazy Afternoon” and “Watermelon Wine”. I showed “Longhorn Splashdown” during show and tell and quite a few people came up later to have a closer look!
On the way home I saw a 50% off plant sale so of course I had to stop. It was mostly annuals and hanging baskets but tucked away in the back were a few shrubs so I got a Black Lace Elderberry which has lacy black leaves and pink flowers. Very cool!
I have to go to town AGAIN today – so I’d better get off the computer and sew a few seams!

I personally know how hard those plant ‘sales’ are to pass up. Congratulations on the Viewer’s Choice awards!!!

It was good to see you at KVQG this week and your longhorn quilt is stunning! Congrats on the Viewer’s Choice awards. I was so pleased that you entered your quilts in our show. I do wish you had been notified earlier about the awards.

Way to go with the awards! Speaking of plants – - – you should see the hanging baskets on the streets of Anchorage. They are awesome – dark purple lobelia hanging down with super large yellow marigolds on top, orange and red geraniums, dahliahs 3 feet tall, snapdragons almost that tall, and more and more haning baskets. Saw dall sheep, one wolf, one mama grizzly and cubs, and two moose.
