For The Birds!
The number of visitors to my blog more than doubled yesterday, which must have been in response to Del’s post on HER blog concerning my (now her) “Early Birds” quilt which I am very proud to say, is in her Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection. It is indeed an honor to have a piece in that collection and to count Del as a personal friend!
There is less than a week to go for the SAQA Auction which starts September 10th at 2:00 Eastern. My donation “Yellow Headed Blackbird” will be amongst the first group offered.
Sept 10 at 2:00PM, I will be somewhere between here and Phoenix so I don’t know when I will get to know how it goes!
The last quilt that I sold was also a bird quilt- “Baltimore Album, Baltimore Oriole” and my last pattern, “Bluebird” is selling well, so I guess there is a theme here – birds have been good for me!

I’m so glad you had lots of visitors. But do you HAVE to remind them that your wonderful “Yellow Headed Blackbird” quilt will be up the first day. I’m going to have to type up my bid and send it on the stroke of 11am (PDT). You know how determined I can be. At the last auction I was one day early, hovering over the computer until I finally e-mailed Martha to see what was wrong. She was very nice, didn’t even call me a greedy quilt collector!!
Love, Del-on-the-Road

Yes, it is I, the greedy quilt collector. I did send my bid in yesterday – it was 11:00:06! And I was the winning bidder. I am so thankful. I also added the B.J. Adams piece to the TCQC. Now I will have to resist other bids until the price comes down. Del
