She mostly spoke about the quilts from 1846-1854 and showed examples where she copied their blocks. Makes me want to run away far and fast... all that tiny applique work! I don't even know how to do applique (and probably don't want to know, just yet. :P)
I was also probably the most squirmiest girl there too... a mesquito bit me at least 5 times during the show, if not more. One welt was like 1.5" x 1". Another one looked like it was on the verge of bleeding. I tried soooooooo hard not to itch them, but they just drove me crazy! At least they're not bothering me anymore now. :)
Tomorrow I'm going to Tucson...without my husband. :) As much as I love him, he doesn't enjoy long leisure trips and doesn't like the traffic. Me? I'm like "posh! Traffic? This is nothing compare to the Bay Area!" On the list of things to do is to go to Wild Oats (health-type store), maybe Trader Joe's if I can't find what I want at W.O., next is Costco and then maybe JoAnn's - depending on how much I didn't spend at the other places! :D

My son welts up terribly from any bite so I always carry Stop-Itch or Stop-Bite (whatever it is called). This summer he had one bite that swelled up his arm 2X and made a huge red, rubbery circle all around his little body. NOW I also carry Children's Benedryl in my bag (doctor's orders). Sounds like the 2 of you might be from the same blood!
Glad to hear the guild is working out for you - I remember when you were first considering going!
Cheers!

Enjoy your day :) Hate those skeeters grr they are bout to freeze here LOL I've seen my breath the last two mornings. xoxo melzie
I actually know Mary Lou - isn't she great & so knowledgeable!
Such a lovely quilt! Skeeters like me too. :( We have both a Wild Oats and a Whole Foods. I prefer Wild Oats because the staff is friendlier and not as cold feeling. Enjoy your trip. /paula
we have that west nile thing going on here so we are all avoiding being outside at dawn and dusk just to stay away from those peskly skeeters.
That quilt is amazing. The pieces must be sooooooooooooo tiny to applique in some of those blocks.
I"m back and trying to catch up! That is one amazing quilt. I don't mind applique too much, but I could NEVER do this much! I love that building block up in the top left corner!
wow sounds like you're guild meeting was better than ours- applique isn't that hard I finally learned it :)
