Last week we had a family funeral here where we live. Everyone else is out of state now, so there were lots of relatives staying in our home, or in hotels. Either way, our house was the 'Central Point.' One of the Cousins in Oregon makes quilts. She did not come, but her DM & Sis were here. They like quilts and wanted to see my work. I thought she was just being polite, but she mentioned it again, late in the day of the burial. So, I got out a few small ones and showed those. They were mostly Holiday WH or Challenge WH. I gave one of the small Santa WH to Cousin. She was pleased. I hope we can visit them in the Summer some time, so we can all go to Sisters Show together. DH encouraged me to ... 'get the big ones out of that cabinet too.' He likes to joke about my Stash and UFOs, but likes to 'show' my work too. So, I dragged those out of the cabinet ... the glass one that is made by Kerry's Creations in Texas. (NAYY, but I love that case.) One is my Cyber Trip Around the World Nap Quilt. It contains about 50 signatures I collected about 2000 in a RCTQ signature swap. They were amazed to see some from Australia, from Marissa signing from Uruguay, from Tutu I think, and many other countries, awa numerous States. Cool way cool. Also a pleasant way to conclude a trying day. TTFN, PAT in VA/USA
