Friday began with demoing free motion quilting and promoting my new DVD; Design, Paint & Stitch in Open Studios.
Art quilter, blog friend and fellow art school college alumni Kristin LaFlamme stopped by to say hello with her daughter Katja.

Spooning with Friends
What can I say, we are a group of women with many talents. One that is sort of becoming tradition at festival is hanging spoons off our noses at dinner.

Quilting Arts editor Helen Gregory showed her talent by hanging a spoon on her chin.
Pokey, is a novice at this, but I am sure by next festival she will have mastered this new skill and will be weilding a spoon just as well as a rotary cutter.
Looks like you were having fun! But remember, to be in full battle gear when wearing your spoon, you must also wear your napkin as a bandanna around your forehead.
ReplyDeleteOh Laura you are so right, I will have to remember that!
ReplyDeleteI think you should also be required to take your wine glass and suck enough air out that you can slide it down and have it stick to your chin.
ReplyDeleteIs having that much fun legal?

Thank you for sharing your photos! It looks like y'all had a wonderful time. And you are right....middle age dating requires a great sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteIt was great meeting you in person. And now I think I'm going to have to improve my spoon dangling skills in case I get accosted by any of your gang next year in Houston!
