I forgot to post pictures of my quilt hanging in the men's show in Golden, Colorado.  It is still there for another week or so.  The opening reception was cool ... great food, free wine, and lots of people wanted my autograph.  Seriously! :-) So ... for anyone keeping score,  I had three quilts ... hanging in three shows ... in two American cities ... over the weekend of the International Quilt Show. *giggle* Life is good!

My new friends Donna ( her blog is in the list that I follow, so check out her work) and Sarah Evans, who is the president of the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild , sent me some pictures.  I have met some amazing people through quilting and can't think these two enough! Seeing all of the pictures that I was sent makes it all seem ... so real! The first show was Modern Quilt Guild - Drunkard's Path The second show was Mod Squad Quilts And this is my new friend, Donna, with her Drunkard's Path quilt.  Very cool!

Here is the group of guys from the men's quilting retreat in Chester, Vermont.  I spent four wonderful days with these men, quilting, laughing, sharing stories, and celebrating our common interest.   This is my second time on this retreat, and I will continue to participate each Spring and Autumn, for as long as I am able. The group is a varied group, from all corners of the US, and Canada.  Their interests and quilting styles vary as well. One of my favourite quilt guys is Jack Edson.  He is a great guy, who does brilliant work!  Here are some samples of his work.  The third picture is the piece that he started on at the retreat. Michael Michalski is another brilliant artist who comes to the retreat.  What he can do with a quilt constantly pushes boundaries and understandings.  He is also a really nice man!
