The St. James Quilters met on Tues., May 11. The three of us that made the trip to Fort Knox were anxious to share our experiences and answer questions. We talked a lot, and then opened our box of fabric from Hancock's of Paducah. That was like Christmas and got our creative juices flowing! We are very thankful to Hancock's.
We had a laptop computer available, so we were able to view a slide show of the pictures we brought, and share more details of our trip.
There was some "show and tell" of quilts that were made the week of the trip. Also, one of our girls that winters in AZ was back, and she brought several completed quilts. She is our scrap artist, and can make a complete quilt of tiny pieces of fabric. Nothing goes to waste!
You may wonder.....but we really did have time to sew!!
Tomorrow, May 18, some of our group will travel to Perham to spend the day sewing with them. There will surely be some Fort Knox stories, good friends, and food.
We feel so blessed, and know for sure that our cup has been filled to overflowing!
