A Beautiful View

Here's the view from my perch on the portico at Sotterly yesterday.

Looking Left

Looking straight ahead

Walking left and looking back at the portico from the garden. You can see Jean, my table partner, sitting. Jean is an expert at hand work - think hand quilted queen sized bed quilts, and dimensional Baltimore Album style flowers. We were quite the contrast in styles! There aren't any other people in these pictures because I took them before the show started.

Look! I'm making postcards. If you click on the picture you'll be able to see them better. (Deb R, can you spot the glasses?) Even though it was in the 70's, it was quite breezy, and in the shade it was cool, hence the jacket.

The weather was perfect, the attendance was great, everybody was nice. I got a chance to see some friends from the Annapolis Guild that I haven't seen in a while. Among them was Hilke, to whom I'll be forever grateful because she is the person who first encouraged me to enter my quilts in shows.

Here's a final view of the garden.
I hope the rest of you had a beautiful day too!

Yep, I noticed the glasses. They look like they'd be cute on!
