Have not had the time (too much laundry) to read the whole of this site but I have returned safely. We attended the Vermont Quilt Festival in Essex Junction. And I was greatly impressed, both with the quilts but also the hand book they passed out that has a short story or inspiration for each of the quilts.
We also went to Simon Pearce's glass blowing factory and purchased a glass bowl (small) and a small plate to match. It is indeed elegant but because I am 86 years old I intend to eat my daily bowl of home made oatmeal in it every morning. Simon thought that was a "riot."
So nowthat I caught up with the laundry, etc., I am going to be back at sewing together of the 783 piece Scrappy Tumbler quilt.
