Quilters On Rhododendron Trail!

What is with near-mid-November with temps in the 60s?  Buckets of sunshine!

Four brave quilters and I took a little pilgrimage up to Grayson Highlands yesterday afternoon to see what we could see.

And from this photo, you can see what we saw!

Sew Many Great Cooks!

No one is going hungry at Quiltville Inn!

What a fantastic array of wonderful meals the ladies of the November Quiltvillians have prepared.  It just doesn't stop!

Quilting With Friends!

All things scrappy, bright and cheery!

Do yo have one in progress too?  Sew much fun!

So when this finally happened last night, I grabbed the phone and took some photos.
