Hello....
Today is my brother and I's birthday, Jason is 43 and I am 39.....yep same birthday! It is a great day.....on this beautiful July day I thought I would start my series of images from the Picnic in the Park, Quilt Show and Save it for Sunday events! Three awesome events.....
The Picnic in the Park is the last event of the week of Quilter's Affair classes.....it is followed by an outdoor lecture. This year our featured lecture is from the Folk Art Chicks....Gwen Marston, Sue Spargo, and Tonye Phillips......But I wil start with a few fun pics and our traditional showing of the Employee Challenge Quilts. This year's theme was Pieceful Village or something similar to that.....
Aunt June, Mom and I.....can you tell we are all related! Except my dorky smile.....
Music from our talented kids from Sisters!
Three tired but happy teachers.....Alethea Ballard, Emily Cier and Scott Hanson.....all vergins to Quilter's Affair and Quilt Show......
Mom and Vivi.....
The diners.....
The Chicks getting ready for their lecture!
Quilt Holders for the event....Lawry and Mindi - mother and daughter, Lawry has worked for my mom since Mindi and I were 7, & Colleen Blackwood - teacher and family friend.
My hubby and Rob Appell - our surfer boy teacher and good friend!
Let the Employee Challenge begin.....this is mom's quilt - she had the grandkids draw houses and she used them for templates then the kids picked the fabrics they wanted their houses made out of....too cute! She is so clever!
Quilts from our amazingly talented staff at the Stitchin' Post!! They did such an amazing job.....
Next on Picnic in the Park.....part 2, The Folk Art CHICKS!!!!!
