VQM Quilt Museum Fundraiser

  What fun I had on Saturday. I was privileged to do a fundraiser for the Virginia Quilt Museum.


  Folks could meander through the house visiting all rooms where quilts were on display.
 

Pinwheel Spin

Whirling Stars

Quilts in hallways,

back porch,


walls,


bedrooms


and even in bathrooms.
 

Explosion of Sunflowers was displayed on the front of the wood shed.


Power Play was on the clothes line.


Glowing Splendor was on the front porch.

Sawtooth Digest

and Star Shuffle were in a tree.

And this is what you saw when you came in our back door.

My back door is always my front door where my family and friends are always welcome.
I didn't show you all the quilts but maybe I can do another open house some day.
My dear husband parked cars and made people feel welcome and directed them where to go.

Open House

Just a sneak preview on the quilts to be shown on Saturday for the Quilt open house.





"Diamond Chain" featured on the front cover of "Star Struck Quilts"






Work in progress.


Memories
This picture brings back good childhood memories. Picture taken outside the door where I grew up. My brother Oren Jr and I played in these woods and climb to the "Big Rock" many times



Another memory is swimming in the river.  The tree on the left I would crawl up so no one would throw me in the river. Other memories were jumping and diving out of trees, playing on inter-tubes, skipping rocks, catching cray fish and seeing how far I could swim under water.
