All I can say is that I had
such a fantastic time at the AQSG seminar last weekend that I didn’t take ONE
photo! My head was spinning so fast catching up with old friends, meeting new
ones and viewing fabulous antique quilts and textiles that I didn’t even think
about pictures. Luckily some people did! Cyndi (Busy Thimble) took this one of
Barb (Fun with Barb) and I in front of Barb’s fantastic charm quilt.
I was so excited to meet up
with some of my Blogging friends in person. Cynthia (Wabi Sabi Quilts), Dawn
(Collector with a Needle), and Sandra Starley (Textile Time Travels).
We saw some fantastic fabrics in the swatchbooks from the Manchester Historical Association. I highly recommend a visit to the Millyard Museum and their research center. I learned so much about the mill and the local history.
If you join the AmericanQuilt Study Group, you can see lots of great images on the AQSG Facebook page.
If you are remotely
interested in quilt history and antique textiles, you will want to become a
part of this fabulous organization. The seminar will be in Bethesda, MD next
year. With so much rich history and so many wonderful museums in the area, you
will not be disappointed. Just remember to take photos!!
Oh, you must have been totally absorbed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to have met such wonderful women. Each one you named is someone whose blog I follow, and I have met Cyndi and Sandra (multiple times for Sandra). That is a great photo of you and Barb.
I would love to be involved in this organization, but I know I would never be able to make the seminars. I'll just follow along the adventures of those of you that are able to go.
I would love to have seen you there (or anywhere) too! Maybe they will come to Utah someday!
DeleteI think of taking photos either until the night of the auction when the volunteers looked so pretty in their autumn finery. I wish we had gotten a chance to meet. I did admire your show-and-tell quilts. I think Dear Jane potholder style is a great way to do it. Yours looked great!!
ReplyDeleteOh no! How could I have missed you??? I am going to go through the roster to see if I missed any others. I guess we will have to "do lunch" in Bethesda!
DeleteIt sounds like you had a fantastic time! One day I'd like to be able to attend a seminar.
ReplyDeleteI was SO sorry not to be able to come this year...Baltimore for sure!! See you then?
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you had such a wonderful time! Meeting up with blogging friends is such a treat. I look forward to seeing you next Spring!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun photo of you and Barb, two of my favorite bloggers. Sounds like an exciting weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun for you to meet up with so many great bloggers that many of us follow. Someday I'd love to attend one of these, but in the meantime I'm grateful to see and read about others' experiences at these seminars and major shows. It's all good.
ReplyDeletealways fun to meet other bloggers in person...and bethesda? just a hop,skip and jump from meeee!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to see you in person at AQSG. Thank you and all of the others for the hard work everyone put in to make each day a wonderful experience for us all.
ReplyDeleteNice photo of you both ! No doubt it was a great and fun seminar !
ReplyDeleteMy first seminar was worth the wait - it was such a great time! thanks again for taking me to the historical Assoc. it was a high water mark for sure.
ReplyDeleteSpending time with you, cindi, cynthia and all the others was icing on the cake.
Great photo of you two! Seminar is a great place to catch up with friends. Wish I could have joined you!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful weekend delving into quilt history......I'm in the same boat as you! Only took photos that I cannot share!
ReplyDeleteWendy, looks like you had a great time, although I'm disappointed there aren't many pictures. I do love the picture of you and Barb. I'm looking forward to meeting her in real life one of these days.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun.
Glad you're back safe and sound, too.
Sounds like you had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fantastic time!! Barb is a lovely lady and I'm sure you all had a blast! And the quilts! WOW!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I finally got to meet you in person, Wendy! And to also meet Cyndi from Busy Thimble that last morning. Boy, would I love to visit her shop and pet all those reproduction fabrics. Such a great Seminar. I' still on a high and don't quite have my feet back on the ground yet. Come visit my blog sometime! http://karenquilt.blogspot.com It's an older layout version. Still haven[t found the time to update it.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you too Wendy. I'm looking forward to next year and maybe spending a bit more time with you!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute photo of you and Barb! Looks like a wonderful time. :D
ReplyDeleteThat's a great photo of you and Barb. You look like you were having such fun. About Barb's quilt -- how big were the nine-patches? They look fairly large -- 3 or 4 inches.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful experience, and such amazing quilters to share it with! Teensy bit jealous over here, but so glad you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteI think this is one of the most significant information for me.
ReplyDeleteAnd i’m glad reading your article.
But should remark on some general things, the web site style is perfect,
the articles is really great : D. Good job…
