Old Friends and Quilts

I had lunch yesterday with Beth, Nina, and Thomas from our old Tai Chi group.  Mike couldn't make it, but we had a great lunch with lots of catching up.  We used to be together about 6 days a week for classes and practice in the park, but we haven't seen much of each other for quite a while now.  Beth is moving to Colorado, and we will miss her!

AND I just found out for sure that...

My three little art quilts (Hope Is the Thing with Feathers, I Want to Go Home, and I Carry Your Heart) will be going to Houston to the International Quilt Festival!  I'm so happy that they will be on display and hope that they will make some money for AAQI.    Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative does so much to aid in finding a cure for this awful disease.  I'm honored and thrilled to have all 3 of my little quilts selected to travel to Houston.

Have a great weekend!

  2. A triple-Wow! Three quilts in Houston is awesome. Wish I could go to the show to see yours and all the others but not going this year. I love that quilt show, it's the best I've ever seen. Congrats, Jen!

  3. Debra - I wish I could make it to Houston one year, but you've heard me say that before!

    Connie - They aren't in the same league as the big quilts by the really great quilters, Connie, just the 9 x 12 art quilts for AAQI. Doesn't matter though, I'm still thrilled!

  4. Yours will be sure to sell, they've got such individuality.
