Did ya miss me? Just got back from Denver. Thanks to the recommendation of this group, I went to the quilt museum in Golden, Colorado on Saturday. One room was all crazy quilts. They had a fair amount of info on quite a few of the old quilts. One really amazing quilt was started by a woman who was interned during WWII. She had a panel of ink on fabric. She used Japanese fabrics to make a Dresden Plate medallion. Sometime after the war she met a woman who would eventually start the Golden Museum. This woman added to the medallion with crazy quilting. The woman is now 103, and no one has any idea about the original woman. Another quilt was a reversible quilt with signature blocks dated 1889. That quilt has a twin that is hanging in a museum in Vermont. They hope to have both quilts hanging side by side in the Golden Museum in the next few years.
Went across the street to a small quilt shop. Really very nice ladies. I didnot add too much to stash as I only had a limited amount of room in the suitcase.
The wedding was fantastic. I gave the couple queen size Lover's Knot quilt. Wish I could see it on their bed, but since I am here in Southern CA and they are in Denver, that is not very likely.
Had a great time. Last night we went to a Rockies/Giants baseball game. We had a clubhouse suite and then sat on the infield to see some of the most fantastic fireworks. Understand the show tonight was rained out, so am very glad I got to see it last night.
Well, I better get unpacked and back to my usual life so that I can return to work in the morning.
