Quilts for Karen

Today I went to Pittsburgh to visit my brother. He just moved there and has a great apartment right across from an art and garden center. It was also my lucky day because there was an art show going on. I wondered over and through all the tents of pottery, paintings and jewelry. I also ran in to one booth that had these very color full quilts. I took a few pictures to share. The gardens were also very beautiful. To see more check out my flickr account.

Chicago was amazing to be honest. I had driven through it, but never really visited. It is so much nicer than New York. Oh, they don't have a cool little SoHo section or impressive financial district, but it was cleaner, more open and MUCH easier to navigate. 

Conference was good. There were about 300 people there, so I got to know people better since we saw the same people every session. Plus, we actually got to interact more with the speakers. If you go to Flicker and search for CFC08, you'll find some pictures of the conference. 

After the conference Karl and I did some sight seeing and relaxing. Karl kindly took me to a quilt store and patiently waited until I was "all done." : ) Quiltology focuses on modern patterns using some very sweet material. I bought the "Urban Amish" pattern and some fat quarters to make it. I'm so excited! A quilting group from my church is just starting up, which has been a dream of mine. I just think it's so good for women to get together to do hand work and chat about life. If anyone wants to join me, I'd be delighted. : )
