| Awesome Winner Award Ribbons |
Went to my first ever AQS show in Paduch, KY last week! What a wonderful time we had. It started out with finding the awesome loft apt. just blocks from the Quilt show and museum. It is on Airbnb (my favorite) and sleeps up to eight. BEAUTIFUL kitchen and large gathering room - all open and light with many windows.

Next challenge was finding other gals to join me. Originally the plan was for a few ladies locally to go and meet up with our good quilting friend who had moved to Tennessee a few years ago. But, turns out she could not attend. So there were just three from our little town. I put out the invitation in the local guild and MOKA (Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas Quilt study group - see their
FB group) to find others. Three other ladies contacted me and signed up for the adventure from OKC, Tulsa and Pennsylvania! What awesome new talented and fun quilting friends! We had a blast, cooked and ate meals together, plus had "show & tell" each evening sharing our adventures, the highlights of the show, so much inspiration, and new treasures gathered each day.
Now for the quilts! Here are just a few pictures of some of the amazing quilts!
There were many Japanese Quilts including an AQS exhibits and in the Quilt Museum (no photos there). The workmanship is amazing!

I don't spend much time online, and just stumbled upon this post ! What fun you must have had........I'm so happy that you, Terri, and Mary Ellen got to do this together, and found new friends to join you !
What awesome quilts. I adore the one with the butterflies !
Thank you so much for remembering ME with the postcard ! I have been preoccupied and didn't remember to let you know that I had received it. And I love the little Amish-block keychain that you sent to me. I have it connected to my wallet and wear it in my back pocket almost everywhere I go. I've quilted so very little over the last year, that it's a nice daily reminder that I have something fun to go back to when I am ready !
Love you girls !
