Tour of the arts in Lancaster

Diane called Friday morning (2/2) and she and her friend Colleen picked up Pat and me and we headed into Lancaster to the quilt exhibit at the Art Museum:

I would say that we knew the majority of the people whose quilts were displayed…

-this is Margaret...a Thursday quilter....her style is very distinctive

-there were several by Floy Ervin (former Thursday quilter)

-look at this free motion quilting....

and I even got a mention thanks to sweet, sweet Pam:

It must have been NOON when we left, as we got serenaded by the church bells across the street. And they did the ‘’dog art’’ tour as well, and had a beautiful statue outside:

We had lunch at Punky’s after that and it was excellent:

-Diane & Colleen

-Pat & me

and then Diane wanted to show Colleen my quilt in the Lancaster library, so we headed on over there. Isn’t this the coolest thing? Labeled ‘’Blind Date with a Book” in honor of Valentine's Day:

I couldn’t resist and had to pick one up:

I got home around 2:30 and after sitting out on the lanair with my honey for a bit (it was a gorgeous day…so gorgeous in fact that my honey did all of his toolin’ around today with the top down!), I headed back to the studio, praying that XENA would continue to behave herself as I currently have 7 (SEVEN!!!) customer quilts in the pipeline!!! I got Pam’s 3rd quilt basted:

and by then it was 8 PM and I was done for the night.
