Tired Feet

Tonight my feet are tired after walking all day looking at beautiful quilts and shoping the vendors here at Paducah.

The winners were fantastic and so, so beautiful. Attached a couple of photos  of some of the details of the top quilt. These photos were all taken with my phone but will try to post more when I get home.

There is also a photo if me that was taken at Caryl Bryer Fallert's studio.  Lots of her lovely quilts on display plus fabrics, etc.

We are having a great time and keeping busy.   It is so nice to be able to stay here in Paducah and hope Betty Jane isn't getting tired of us yet. Tonight we had smoked pulled pork with a salad and some stirfried veggies that one sister brought and tomorrow we will have chicken breasts, salad and some corn that I froze last summer so you see we are eating well.

Need to go to bed now as I am really tired and need to be refreshed by morning to do more of the same!

Bookmark

Today I am posting this from an app on my cell phone.

The photo is of the 4 bookmarks I made for my Paducah gals.  These are made from a large paper clip, a covered button and hot glue.   Easy-Peasy to make!!!  I followed the directions on My Three Sons blog post-tutorial on December 18, 2009

Paducah...Shopping Already

We arrived in Paducah about 3:30 this afternoon and no more got off I-24 and had to stop at Hancocks of Paducah.   Found some beautiful batiks that were calling my name and had to come home with me.

Next stop the AQS booth to purchase our entry tickets for Thursday and Friday.   Saved standings in line tomorrow morning.  

Last stop before going to Betty Jane's to unload was to go to Elinor Burns Quilt In A Day tents and building out at the fairgrounds.  Every day they have a "color of the day" which means that any fabric that color is discounted.  Of course several of those blue batiks made their way into my hot little hands.

The photo is of all my brand new batik fabrics in the photo below.

Hopefully this will post now as the one I wrote this morning didn't until now.

Paducah Bound

The car is packed to the gills as we depart for Paducah this morning.  There are 5 of us going again this year-2 sisters, niece, & friend. 

I know it looks like we won't have room to buy anything but we have a plan.  The cooler and 3 of the bags have food in them as we always take things for the meals that we fix at Betty Jane's.  We don't want our sweet hostess to have to cook so treat her to our meals instead.

We can pack in a lot of stuff when we need to. 

We have had an adventure getting here so far.  It snowed in Nebraska and was 20 degrees otutside.  Can you believe on April 23 it would be that cold?  We drove in falling snow on the way to Kansas City yesterday...strange.  This morning it was snowing and 36 degrees at my sister's home.  She lives near Columbia, MO.  Sure hopes it warms up this week as I am tired of being cold.

These are my 2 sisters in the photo.
