Stitches Per Mile
It is a little after three a.m. Sunday morning, and I'm too jazzed to sleep!
Too jazzed because of another invigorating, exciting, energizing Mississippi Quilt Association Gathering. This was the Fall Gathering held in Oxford, MS, this year.
We have really logged the miles this week, and I have oodles to share with you!
Gordon shot the second "slice of life" picture during the program he and I gave to the Mississippi Quilt Association gathering.
That room was filled to the balcony with beautiful quilts!
He took still photos until the battery died, and then he took video... all of which we will be sharing!
Wish I could start stitching this morning, but I guess I'd better log some more sleep hours.
It has been a long, full, but fulfilling week!
To tickle your brain before I drift into delicious dreams of delightful sewing, here is a picture of one of the collection of seven or eight vintage quilts found at a garbage dump in North Mississippi!
We were treated to a show-and-tell of this astonishing quilt find.
All the quilts had been lovingly handmade, well used, but their colors were vibrant, and one could just feel that there was a story these quilts were straining to tell!
How could someone throw away such a charming cache of vintage quilts?
More to come..... z.z.z.zzzzzzzzzz

Oh goodness me what a crime throwing them away evidently the thrower didn't know the emotional or physical work which had gone into them.
Must get to the tip, must get to the tip!! LOL
