GSQA Show

Today I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Gulf States Quilt Association (GQSA) show, "Charmingly Southern" in Slidell.  We boarded the small charter bus at 7 a.m. and took off with a couple of stops along the way to increase our numbers. Imagine the chatter and laughter as we played games and visited.

Although we were there for only the day, I managed to see every quilt and even had a little time left over to sew in the community sewing.  We sewed strips together that will later be cut into blocks and made into charity quilts.


I only wish my camera were working as the quilts were stunning and I'd have loved to post at least a few.    I'm hopeful that I will get a few later from kind friends.  In the meantime, enjoy their website at http://gulfstatesquilting.org/index.html

I did pick up a few goodies and won a few prizes.  I'll share those later, for now I need some rest......my feet are tired!
Happy Quilting,
Mary

I'm trying again to get updates on your posts. I thought I'd gotten that done the last time, but NO. So here I am back and trying again.
