Millstone – Quilt Show – NOT – Barbecue – YES
Posted By drsao on May 3, 2009
The quilt show at Millstone today got rained out – but the fun reigned anyway! 🙂 There was plenty of “cozy atmosphere” both inside the quilt store and outside on the front porch where we were met and WOWED by quilt designer, Penni Domikis. Her quilts are charming and unique. What a lot of wonderful designs! Penni was SO GRACIOUS AND NICE …..and we had lots of fun! She even shared great tips on how to make a quilt label – and a quilt carrying bag! I am looking forward to seeing her again at the Fredericksburg Quilt Festival in November! She has a lot of wonderful quilt patterns.
I mentioned that it rained – but Catherine brought sunshine to us – PINWHEELS with stamps – isn’t that creative? LOVED THAT! We also saw some friends from the quilt guild in Williamsburg there today. Even though the quilt show got rained out – sorry, Sheddy, I couldn’t get the picture you wanted – our fun was not dampened one bit. 🙂
The day was wonderful. The barbecue was awesome! My GPS and Marla kept us from getting lost – and Catherine kept track of the correct lanes to be in! And we were inspired and motivated to MAKE MORE QUILTS! But – before heading home, I think we all wished that we could just pull up a chair and sit on the porch……and breathe in the fresh air ……and listen to the trickle of the stream……and maybe sip a mint julep (like on Pitty Pat’s Porch in Georgia!) I would like to have a camp-out there – a quilting campout! There are electrical outlets in the picnic area……HM………sound like fun?
And just when we thought that the day couldn’t get any better, on the way home, Catherine took us to GATHER – a charming country store with wonderful treasures. It won’t be my last visit!
I took pictures inside Millstone and on the front porch! And the camera came out again when we got to GATHER. I loved that place.
