What a beautiful person!!!!!!! I met Linda (and 2 of her friends) at her quilt guild meeting in Fort Wayne. If I could attend a guild meeting in Florida with someone like Linda, I would go! I really enjoyed the time we had together, and since her guild is planning their show for next June, I got my calendar out and put the little flyer right in it! @:) Too bad I won't be here to go with them to the Chicago show.

Regarding the meeting: It was the first quilt guild meeting that I've been to that was done orderly and in a timely fashion. Yet it was informative, casual and friendly. Very impressive! But, DD and I missed out on the Show and Tell part cause we had to leave....her DH works third shift.

It was great meeting you Linda!

Hi Sharon! It was great meeting you too! I just came here to post that I met you and your post was on the top. I really enjoyed having you and Wendy at the meeting. I know the business part is not that interesting to visitors but they try to keep it short.
Last year I worked at the quilt show several days, so I hope we can meet again next year at the show.
Thank you for the FQ with flamingos. I am trying to think of something special to make with it.
We should plan to meet at a guild meeting next year too.

Isn't it great to put a face with a name. Meeting at a guild meeting is such a great idea. I'm glad everyone had a great time.

I finished putting the border on my birthday blocks quilt today. I am washing the bleached muslin that I will use for the backing. I plan to load it on the frame as soon as it dries and I iron the fabric. Thank you to everyone for the great blocks. I love the quilt! I made a few more blocks so I could make it square (4X4 blocks). I plan to keep this at my house to use when our grandbaby comes to visit. He will be born in March 2012. Thanks again to everyone who made a block. Linda OH Here is a link that might be useful: Picture of quilt

I started off to the local guild's quilt show today but my car was giving me warning signals so I came back home. And I had full intentions of buying something. Keep the money for fabric I guess. Donna, enjoy the pattern. Theresa

I love meeting up with quilt buddies! I met LindaOH a few times when she lived closer to Ft Wayne, saw Bev on my way to Chicago to see my sister, met a couple more in Indiana from another forum (we shop hopped) and another one even came to the funeral home to meet me when I was there for my mom's viewing. Met her another time, too. Then there's that Lois who introduced me to the Blue Bamboo.......I left a little $$ there. I've been to retreat twice so met those ladies and a few spouses, too. Love the hugs quilters give. I'll only be up there a month this year, so not much time to lolly-gag around.......... I'm happy!

@bengz6westmd asked about Blue Ash (Fraxinus quadrangulata) and its relative resistance to Emerald Ash Borer. I have not followed the saga of EAB progress through the genera since my job altered from parks to multimodal transportation facilities (!), but observation since it arrived on Kentucky's scene about 15 years ago indicates White Ash and Green Ash tend to be the target. It may be that there is a bounty of White/Green Ash candy to consume, and the Blue Ash skirts by as the Broccoli or Asparagus of EAB's diet. I don't really care why, but I am happy that many old pre-settlement denizens of the central Kentucky area are still with us, watching over the fields and providing historic context to Bluegrass land and life. I was fortunate to be able to observe and nominate this Louisville behemoth, and it was listed as national champion in 2009.

Janice, I used to have to fly into Indy when I came up, but now there are direct flights to South Bend and Fort Wayne, so I go there. We don't drive up like we used to - too old and 2 hour flight opposed to all that time, road stress, gasoline and motel charges doesn't seem worth it.

Linda, I hope to be able to come up for your guild show next June so hopefully we can spend a little more time together.

I didn't get to Shipshe this year, but there's a new Farmer's Market that's like a mini Shipshe close to the US20 by-pass just South of Elkhart if anyone is interested. It's all indoors and 3 levels. The lower level is a restaurant (I want to go back for that) and booths selling all kinds of food....cheese, baked goods, their jellies and jams, pastas, meats, fresh veggies, etc. The second floor has all the crafts. The third floor are offices and it looks like they can expand for more booths.....and from the way I saw things, they will have to do that. There were a few booths outside, too. There were a few quilty booths but I didn't see any selling fabric. I would like to go back and spend more time, as I only had an hour. Another thing to do next year.
