Quilt Show and Auction

My DH and I went to the Kutztown (PA) Folk Festival today. I checked out
all the quilts in their "Quilt Barn" and stopped by the auction later on.
They just happened to be auctioning one of the First Place winners. It went
for $11,000!!! Quite a roar and round of applause went up from the crowd!
It was a gorgeous hand-appliqued and hand quilted full -size quilt. The
auctioneer mentioned that the quiltmaker also had two other winning quilts
in other categories. I wish I could've gotten her name. We also enjoyed an
ox-roast sandwich (really beef), fresh squeezed lemonade, and hand dipped
ice cream cones! They have entertainment, singing and dancing, etc. which
reflect the Pennsylvania Dutch lifestyle. Lots of PA dutch crafts, antique
farm equipment, and lots of vendors. Great day!

Sounds like a perfect day! Any pictures?

for the first time ever - they received 2.5 inches of rain in just one
morning.... I guess the golf course is a lake now)

Howdy!

Oh, that is gorgeous:

What a beauty! But I wonder why the top and bottom borders aren't the
same.

I hadn't noticed that earlier, but I think maybe one end is supposed to go
over the pillows. Since one end (shown at the top in the picture) is the
same as the sides, I'm thinking maybe the bottom edge is to go over the
pillows??
