Three Sisters and a Boat

We just returned from Long Beach. Jan, Judy and I spent the last four days at the Long Beach International Quilt Show. We traveled on a bus with about 42 other quilters, along with a second bus full of quilters. In all, about 90 quilters from Arizona.
We stayed on the Queen Mary, the Grandmother of Cruise Ships.

We spent two nights exploring the decks of the ship, and marveling at the workmanship and history of her many voyages. Tiny rooms for modern beds, ancient plumbing, interesting electrical switches, but absolutely beautiful woodwork.



We spent two days at the quilt show. Saw some beautiful quilts, saw some interesting quilts and saw some quilts that look like--well I'll just say one quilter's treasure is another quilter's bag of rags.

Here are few of my favorites.






This one was exceptional. It was done from a photograph that was cut into ten different pieces and the quilt was done in ten panels done by ten different women.

Now we are home, determined to finish a few projects so we can start some more quilts.
