I strolled right on past the antique quilts but thought of you. If I had had the time & energy I would have looked through the linens, but not the quilts. I still hear my mom's voice when I asked if she would care if we made jackets out of her handmade quilts. Never again. We did use one of her quilts alot growing up. I saw many jackets from quilts but I still refuse to buy one. Now if I had a start with some blocks, yes but I can't cut up a quilt. Those quilts I saw were gotgeous. One quilt made with a table cloth as inspiration! I don't have a picture. Another crazy quilt was all old linens cut & used as the blocks. Another used a part of a linen for the center & hankies around the edges. You missed a great show. I met several vendors who know you. I know you are busy & miss these cool shows. Have fun! Stay warm. Hope you find a cool quilt to share with us. Until later. Good night.Aunt Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530878636904927910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-88305263035557141972016-03-12T11:28:20.319-05:002016-03-12T11:28:20.319-05:00So glad you are loving Traverse!!

I just love my quilt and everyone who sees it just drops their mouth open! <br />Looks like you are in a fun place. I giggled at your parka... We are so happy when it warms up over 30!! We ditch of big coat for a hoodie! I bet the air off of Lake Michigan can be pretty chilly though! Have a good time!

It's right across the street from you. (If you can't eat the batter, eat around it--it's worth it. The fish melts in your mouth.) Their tartar sauce is to die for (and they won't tell me what's in it so I can make it at home). So many wonderful places to visit! You'll wish you were there for a week. I can't wait to see which antique stores you go to. Have fun!(Can you tell I have a soft spot for Traverse City? Well, really all of northern Michigan.)JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-47391243617830658922016-03-11T09:32:57.379-05:002016-03-11T09:32:57.379-05:00I hope it is okay if I share the quilt/message to ...I hope it is okay if I share the quilt/message to my FB page. I have been working on an epic (10+ years) counted cross stitch. It is a beautiful English style garden with butterflies and hummingbirds. I have been teased by how long it is taking me but most would not have even attempted it. So the quote is perfect!Donna1111https://www.blogger.com/profile/00983919997502439417noreply@blogger.com
