I'm BACK

We have returned safe and sound from Nashville, TN where we attended the AQS Quilt show which had my quilt in the "On the Wall" display. The show was very nice and I enjoyed every minute we had at the resort. It was unbelievable, beautiful and all enclosed so that the temperature and humidity was perfect. This was the view from our balcony in our room. It over looked this lush area where there were restaurants and a place they did water shows and other events. This other picture is the giant structure that covered this 53 acre resort. It kept us all at a comfy 75. It was great.


The first day we just settled in and tried to plan our week of activities. We thought it would be best if we did the quilt show but also took advantage of our vacation by soaking up the local color and attractions.



My quilt did not win, the judges seemed to prefer traditional quilts although a few great art quilts did place. There were several different challenges, one of which was the Alzheimer's challenge. It was touching, and heartwrenching, I had to stop reading the descriptions after the third quilt. We decided to buy the CD and look at it later. It was a wonderful opportunity for them to raise money for research.

This beautiful blue quilt won best of show and the quilter said it took her 16 months to make it! She plans on putting on her bed. The giant bee was a beautifully done whole cloth painted quilt from France that won in it division.
