Spending Time With A Friend, Priceless

Posted By on May 10, 2009

 

Catherine e-mailed me to see if I were interested in an early morning breakfast before the Country Piecemaker’s Guild Meeting on Saturday…….I was.  She picked me up and off we went for our Sheetz Adventure……I love the breakfast choices there.  We were absolutely giddy with excitement.  The IF I WERE A FLOWER CHALLENGE MAGIC SHOW (Catherine’s name for it) was scheduled and we couldn’t wait to see the quilts!

Look at how happy Catherine is – we drove to our PARK AND DINE parking lot so that we could take pictures of each other’s quilts against the backdrop of the “forest.”  We ate quickly – and even splurged with DONUTS…..yes we did!  Egg Sandwiches, Hash Browns and a DONUT.  OH MY!  And then the moment of the big REVEAL had arrived……

Look at how FANCY the back of her quilt is – she has furry embellishment on the sleeve on the back of her quilt.  She is so artistic and creative.

Look at the layers of embellishment – and in person you can see the little dew drop crystals and beads…..

 

The Detail is Fabulous

And this is the quilt that I made.  If I Were a Flower I Would Have Stars in My Family Garden and Baskets Full of Grandangels…..

Each of us based the colors of our quilts on paint chips with names the same as our initials….my colors were S Sugar Beige……A Artic Night…….and O Oriental Red.  🙂
Catherine and I had so much fun sharing our quilts with each other.  $2.98 for the breakfast sandwich, $.50 for the donut, and spending time with a friend – PRICELESS.  The last line was Catherine’s.
