The weekend.


There was also a petting zoo outside.  Kendall loves the goats.
This weekend was the Little Balkans quilt Show in Pittsburg.  It was a great show!  Lots and lots of beautiful quilts made by some very talented people.  I even won a few ribbons.  Kendall was excited to see her quilt with a Judge's choice ribbon on it.  She loves to pose in front of the quilts.  She also learned about wearing a glove when you touched the quilts.  Then she had to touch all the quilts.  It turned into a game of quilt tag.  Only none of them tagged her back.  Her favorite one was the small wallhanging with three sunbonnet Sues dressed in black and white striped dresses with balls and chains on their legs.  It was entitled "They touched the quilts"  . It was quite hilarious.  She took it very seriously.  I also took the quilt Phil's grandma, mother and aunt made in 1938 to have it appraised.  HIs mom wrote in her diary the day about putting it together, putting on the border and working on it.  They made two identical quilts , one for phil's mom, Esther and one for MIldred, her sister.  We inherited Mildred's quilt.  It has never been washed and is in excellent condition. I am very excited to find out what it might be worth. Got to spend the weekend with my good quilting buddies and my sisters.  Today, Kay and i took a road trip to Hutchinson to enter a few things in the State Fair.  Did I mention how much I love the Fair?
