I must really like you people because I am about to give you insight into the dorkiest thing I do all year. Attend Quiltfest in Tennessee. I know. In Jonesborough, Tennessee where my Aunt lives, the local quilt store holds Quiltfest everyyear. I come from a family of wonderfully talented women who have been attending for years. While there are classes offered, most of our family spends time working on projects at my Aunt's home. Four years ago they convinced me to come. I came thinking I would spend my time scrapbooking but once I saw everyone in action and stepped foot into the most beautiful fabric store I have ever seen, I was hooked. Since then I have made a quilt for a double bed, a Hungry Caterpillar play quilt, and a lap sized quilt. Since I am an amateur in the area, this is the only time of year I quilt and I am a bit of a mad woman while there about getting projects done. This year not so much. I blame it on the pregnancy but it took me until the last day to find my motivation. I did however manage to read "The Help" which is a great read!
The girls at QF were sweet enough to throw me a Pea in the Pod shower. It included mocktini's and some wonderful gifts including a massage I have already used.
The best part of Quiltfest is spending the week with the awesome ladies of my family and making great memories!
Blog to you soon!
