I just sat on the bench in front of it and drank it in for many minutes with tears running down my cheeks. I was truly awed. I got to see the Ghees Bend quilts when they were here in D.C. and felt the same way you did. So I can truly understand how terrific your Sunday was.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03925796214628747836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-32398783339423712222008-03-31T08:19:00.000-04:002008-03-31T08:19:00.000-04:00What a wonderful experience to enjoy!

I was fascinated to read that they were happy to use both cotton and synthetics. I remember having a similar reaction when I saw a collection of historical embroidery samplers last year. Some dated back to the 18th century and were exquisite.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459871513482076398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-66998601360716742242008-03-30T23:44:00.000-04:002008-03-30T23:44:00.000-04:00Shows you never know what you're going to run into...Shows you never know what you're going to run into or find out about on any given day.
