Quilts in Gilbertsville,NY

101_1625

The Major's Inn Quilt show featured over 250 quilts on display in a gorgeous former tourists' home this past weekend in Gilbertsville, NY. My friend, M, and I enjoyed seeing all the quilts on display last Friday and we also lunched in one of the rooms along with a roomful of appreciative women and a few patient husbands tagging along. I put in the quilt I made for my Mom's 90th birthday. Now that I have it back, my Dad and I have to figure how to display it on their living room wall instead of tucking it back in the bedroom closet. "Childhood Joys" featuring a dozen drawings of my 3 children when they were younger was the other quilt I entered. Those drawings were in my 1995 Farmhouse greetings calendar. The quilt is # 16 in a series of 20 I'm working on that feature my calendar art.

This was M's favorite quilt based on a tumbling blocks pattern.

I liked these patchwork curtains! The sun shining through them resembled stained glass.
