I am back in the saddle - I KNOW you have been a waiting with baited breath for the Quilting in the Garden docudrama to continue (AHHH to be in a hotel with decent speed internet)- Quilt Show History of Alden Lane-

As many of you know, I am currently cruising with a group of quilters up the east coast and into Canada. We are having a ball - I even got to meet Neen and Marcia! The problem is that the internet is painfully slow on ship and it is nearly impossible to load blogs. I AM taking video, and I DO have a few more Alden Lane pieces. So I beg your patience and will get back to the program as soon as I am in a technological friendly enviornment - I am SSSOOO spoiled by fast speed service. Missing you! (Look at the groovy green purse Neen made to match my SHOES!)

Last night while I was editing Quilting in the Garden Vid blogs there was a knock at the door. The gentleman, Mr. Redding, who was collecting money for abused kids instantly commented on my haircut. I replied that was a good pick up line and then he broke into............. - This is a REALLY true story!

Rain and shine the show went on. This year's featured artist was Valori Wells from Sister's OR. Valori, her Mom (Jean Wells) and baby Violet made the treck from OR to share, present and tempt our pocket books with fabulous goodies.

But that is OK - the quilters rose to the occasion (much like the geranium on Ricky's porch) and Quilting In The Garden went on as planned. All the quilts couldn't be hung, but that didn't dampen the spirit of the day. Tomorrow, RISE and SHINE - forecast - SUNNY! All the quilts will go up under the fabulous oaks and I will see you there. Because I am now a camera videotographerediter (is that a word?) a miniseries of the event will soon be posted. BTW: I met a ton of folks who understand, It's a New DAY!

(AND look who showed up? Gregory Case - Photo Man!)
