What a Day!

Saturday started with a drive to Montrose, PA, where I was honored to be the guest speaker at a quilting day sponsored by A Stitch in Time Quilt Guild.  Almost 150 women met for a day of quilting, food, fun, and laughter.  My friend Maria was head honcho for this event and what a great job she did!

Sue S. from New York State had her finished Dresden Plate quilt completely done.  The border fabric was what she started with.  

Here's a detail of the center plate and a bit of the quilting.  Sue also had a finished Stained Glass Tulip quilt, but my camera was out of reach.  Trust me when I say it was beautiful--and hand quilted, too!

After all the festivities, Maria, Kathryn, Evelyn and Bonnie took me to Endless Mountains Quiltworks in Tunkhannock, PA (www.EMQuiltworks.com).  The shop is one of AP&Q's Top Quilt Shops and is absolutely delightful.  The owner, Jeannette Kitlan, couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming.  I found some treasures which I will share in another post.


On my way home I came across two viaducts.  Here are pics of one (the smaller).  This is on route 11 in PA and is just a structural wonder!  It is wide enough to accommodate two trains running on parallel tracks.  

To find out more about the Tunkhannock Viaduct you can visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunkhannock_Viaduct.  That viaduct is 2, 375 feet long and was finished in 1915!  There is lots more information on the website and some amazing pictures of it being built and a photo taken from a plane.  Impressive.  Unexpected sightings of such structures are truly a blessing, in my estimation!


So there you have the news from yesterday!  It was a wonderful day from beginning to end.  Many thanks to all the ladies who made it such a success!


Blissful hugs,
