It's Finally Over- our 25th anniversary celebration that is............

Praise the Lord and pass the biscuits!


I was starting to feel like the Easter Bunny last night loading the car of 48 assorted goodies for the tricky tray auction for the guild's 25th anniversary celebration. I won two things that I just love a basket of fairy frost fqs :)and a cute wall hanging!



And my secretary gave me the standing hope frame she won- very cool- Thanks Barb! I can't wait to mark this top for hand quilting and try it out !
Lookie who showed up right at the end of the business part of the meeting! It's Mark Lipinski of Quilter's Home magazine fame or also known as the head of the Pickle Posse! He's as funny as can be. Thank you for coming Mark! You were a highlight of the day- loved your stories on teen boys ( now I know it's not just mine) .....





Ok can you tell it was hotter than hell there with no ac????








We had 7 of the of the 15 past and present president. Here is our founding president cutting the celebration cake.





This was the quilt for the raffle. Not my cup of tea but I sold my 40+ tickets just the same :p




So of course we put darling Mark to work drawing the raffle quilt drawing. Nice to say that a member won the quilt and the second place basket of homespun fabrics that we left over in making the quilt. Not very often that happens.



It's been a long day- Katie and I got there at 9:30ish and I got home at 4PM. But I did get some compliments from the ladies- So it's all good. No guild stuff for a whole 10 days!!! I need a mental break now that the challenge and auction is over!

Looks like a lot of fun, and a lot of work, and a good reason to give yourself a day off.
