On Saturday I went to a different sort of quilt program than I’m used to. The Hastings Museum presented 14 of their antique quilts, and what made it unusual was the focus on the makers and their history, especially any connections they had to the area. The research had turned up interesting tidbits of all sorts, often documented in newspapers. I wasn’t seated to get great photos but there was a nice crowd and I know the museum was pleased with the showing. A lovely way to spend an afternoon!

Had to laugh at my teenage grandson’s laptop with its GOAT stickers (a lacrosse brand, he plays a lot) AND a Stash Bandit sticker, too. I’d say that makes me a very lucky grandma. 😍😍😍

A stunningly FUN scrappy finish shared during show and tell at Mid Valley Quilt Guild. The maker’s name is Sandy but she didn’t share the pattern source, or maybe I missed it. If you recognize it, please let me know so I can give proper credit. I think it is just wonderful!
