A Quilter's Week

Despsite spring's arrival, it's been primarily a quilting week. On Tuesday, Donna and I went to lunch at a cute little place in the Delano District.
Then we went on to the monthly quilt guild meeting. Who would think that all of these women are interested in quilting?

Actually, there is an afternoon and an evening section of the quilt guild. Each has 300+ in attendance.
Wednesday we spent all day at a quilting workshop. It wasn't the most enlightening one I've attended, but I guess I did learn one or two things. I am not too excited about the project that I started there; so it may never see a finished state. Donna's project was much more impressive.
Speaking of finished, after 3 years I finally finished the throw that I was making to use at my chair.

However, when I had it artfully arranged over one of the blue chairs, I liked it there. Looks like the old ratty brown blanket will continue to be my throw-of-choice in my reclined state.
Tomorrow, Donna and I are headed for Alden, KS to visit a mongo-quilt shop that Linda reminded me of. In the meantime, I really will be a garderner today after I take Mom to the doctor. Rain tomorrow will make this an optimal gardening day.
