Yesterday was a quilt show with family quilts that belong to residents and quilts made by residents. It was fun to see so many quilts in one place.
My mom with some of her quilts
It's hard to see in this photo but on the right is a table holding 3 Husqavarna machines. The daughter of a resident owns a sewing shop and she demonstrated some state of the art machines.
I helped make this quilt many years ago- the animals are appliqued and then I added embroidery. We made 5 of these baby quilts and they were a joint project of my mom, grandmother and me.
On the quilt rack, 3 of Mom's quilts. On the lower right is a gold cross stitch quilt she made.
Bottom- Christmas quilt by Mom
Top- a crazy quilt belonging to another resident and Mom's crazy quilt made from neckties

My dad and JJ visiting with Randi, the activity director. She always finds a piece of candy for JJ and he calls her "my friend Randi"
This is a sweatshirt jacket, the patches are raw edge appliqué
I visited with the maker - turns out her son in law is my son in law's barber.
Our town has a population of about 50000 with 20000 more college students. It has a small town feel to it, and we all seem to know each other or know each other's family.
A beautiful signature quilt, I especially like the embroidery in the center
