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! -- Alice in PA http://community.webshots.com/user/twosonsatpsu |

What a beauty! But I wonder why the top and bottom borders aren't the
same. Roberta in D On Tue, 12 Jul 2011 17:26:01 -0500, Sandy E wrote: Howdy!

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?? -- Alice in PA http://community.webshots.com/user/twosonsatpsu "Roberta" Roberta@Home wrote in message ...
