A Very Busy Week!
What a week this has been! The computer guy had to come back and redo the set up, I told you there would be bumps in the road! Hopefully it is ok now, but I have not had time to check it out! I had lots of administrative stuff to attend to and entry deadlines to meet. Finished “In The Bleak Midwinter”. 32w x 34h”.
My husband had surgery (nothing serious), so I am cooking again, temporarily, I hope!
We drove to Lawrence Friday to deliver “Longhorn Splashdown”, Spring Encounter” and “Just Dandy” for display at the Kaw Valley Quilt Guild Show. I will have to go by and pick them up this afternoon. It’s always a nice show and I am looking forward to seeing it. Yesterday was the annual Kansas Art Quilter’s Conference – also in Lawrence- and what a wonderful day it was! The theme was “Compositional Strategies and Personal Vocabularies” with presentations by Barbara Lee Smith and Carol Ann Carter. I think everyone came away with renewed enthusiasm!
Strange weather this spring for the morels, they have been hard to find. I think we’ve had 3 meals, with only a few at a time. This is probably the last of them along with asparagus from the garden. Isn’t that a weird curly one? The curl was very woody and had to be discarded.
I cooked them up in butter with some red onions and the asparagus. Quite good, but we decided they are better dredged in seasoned flour and fried!

Looks yummy – lucky you to have your very own morels.
At one time I thought about combining the KAQ conference with the SAQA conference, but just couldn’t make the timing work. One of these years maybe I will make one of the KAQ conferences. New members this year – that’s nice. Love, Del

I love your Bleak Midwinter quilt. It’s stunning! I envy you your fresh asparagus. I love them, but have only bought them in the store. I’ve never had them fresh from the garden; I hear they are delicious.

Was that Barbara Smith Jane Buckley’s sister? Yes, the Bleak Midwinter quilt is gorgeous.

Yes, Rose, she is Jane’s sister. They look and sound so alike, she does beautiful work! Jane and I went to the meeting together, even though she is not an art quilter, she enjoyed it.
