And because the boys and dad were on a camp out, the girls came with me to the Trunk Show ;) This was the first time I tried taking them along and I am happy to report they stayed nice and quiet just off stage and colored while I presented :) Maybe it had something to do with the bribe of going out to lunch afterwards, either way, it worked out fantastic!!!
And then on Wednesday, we headed north to the Bryce Canyon quilt guild. They meet at beautiful Ruby's Inn just outside of Bryce Canyon and even though they are a smaller group of ladies that come from all around the area, they are just amazing!!! I was thrilled to spend the evening with them and even more excited when it came time for Show and Tell and one gal that was in my class in February shared her finished Moroccan Lullaby quilt top!!! Isn't it just gorgeous!!!!
Because it was the evening, we spent the night and then the next day hiked in beautiful Bryce Canyon!!! What a treat :) And you notice I keep saying we, that's because Jacob came along with me!!!! This is the first time he has been able to come to one of my Trunk Shows and it was so great to have him along, he even helped and held the quilts!!!
And then, of course, there is always the unpacking part. I will admit, I put this off until Saturday. It never ceases to amaze me how long it takes to get them all put back nice and neat where they belong. But at least I have learned from experience and now take pictures of the stacks of quilts, so I can refer back to them and know right where each one goes ;) Ya, I am a neat freak, what ya gonna do ;)
I hope you all had a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!! Now that things are all put back together in my sewing room, it's time for me to get stitching :) See ya tomorrow!!!
I am so jealous of you quilters who have made enough quilts do a trunk show! That means you must have enough quilts around your house already and these are all extra! :D You've probably already done a post about this, but do you decorate your home with a lot of quilts? That is my dream someday.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful weekend - and being able to take your children along, a special bonus. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who loves everything in order around and in my home. Love when things are 'at hand' :)!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had two successful trunk shows and you were able to get some quality family time in, too! Of course the girls were well behaved. They’re yours!
ReplyDeleteHow fun and great to be able to take some of your children with you. We visited Utah last year and Bryce Canyon was my favorite of all the parks we hiked in.
