I was in Atlanta with Sandy. Met her friend Diane Curtiss from Mooresville. We were there for a shop hop. Crusing into Spring. It was sponsored by the Greater Atlanta Quilt Shops. It started on Thursday. We arrived Thursday night. Did 6 shops on Friday, 6 on Saturday, and 1 on Sunday. Each shop gave a different pattern, to be used in a quilt, all with the 'Cruising Theme". Each shop used the same 13 patterns and created 13 different quilts. It was spectacular. We were worn out each day. The quilts we sall were all different. It was amazing how each shop used the quilt blocks. These are just a few of them. Because I am going on the cruise with Dad in April, I got lots of ideas and some cool fabric with either a water, tropical, beach themes. I can start on some of the blocks.
Spring is in Atlanta. There were daffodils in bloom. One of the flowering trees was in bloom too. We had 70 degree weather. Blue skies. We figured we drove over 300 miles to do this. The quilt stores are spread out over a very wide area. Now to get started on the ideas we all gained. On Sunday we learned Iris Folding. We each made a greeting card using a pattern much like paper piecing, only it really was with paper. It was really cool. We are all looking forward to getting together again. Sharing ideas with others is always a lot more fun. It was so good to see Steve and Sandy, and Sandy's Mom, Mary.
