I took a bit of time out this afternoon to attend the Quilt Symposium of Alabama, held this year in Birmingham. They sure timed it well - my last week in town! I enjoyed viewing the quilt show - lots of beauties, many made by good friends. I couldn't help but notice the quilted portrait above.
Here's the tag - what a lovely tribute! This is as close as I came to having a quilt in the show. It's always heartwarming to see that someone has taken my technique/book and made something beautiful. It makes all the long hours, weeks, and months spent writing a quilt book worthwhile!
I'm enjoying having Daughter 1 and SIL here for a few days. They attend the Miss Alabama pageant each evening, and are enjoying some of their favorite Birmingham restaurants during the day. I also had them go through some stuff in Emily's room today. We came up with a huge pile to donate - gotta get rid of it this weekend.
The move is approaching so fast now. At the beginning of the year it seemed so far away. Now we have less than a week left here! Where did this week go???
