Party

We had the most unique experience last weekend.  Friends Lucy and Don Cross had invited us to a party.  It was in celebration of their 75th birthdays this year.  And what a way to celebrate! Lucy is a quilter and a member of the quilt guild to which I belong.  She is one of our more prolific quilters and has accumulated quite a stash through the years.  Not that she hasn't been a generous giver - quite the opposite is true. 

However this party carried her generosity to a new extreme.  Every family attending went home with a quilt.  They ranged from wallhangings to queen bed size.

Me with our new queen-size eight-point star in 1930s reproduction fabrics.  If I look thriiled it's because I am.


I believe that they gave away in the neighborhood of 40-50 quilts.  These bags were printed specially to hold the beautiful quilts.
Thank you both so much, Lucy and Don, for an amazing gift we will enjoy for many years.
