It's hard to believe it's been a month since the Sauder Quilt Show. Where did May go? We've also enjoyed the East Lansing Art Fair and the Capitol City Quilt Show. I'll admit, when it was announced, I wasn't enthused about the change in venue to the Summit but the show was beautiful.I think the talent in our Guild just gets better and better.
Here's a photo of my quilt "Leaves Redeaux" hanging at the Sauder show. I won a 3rd place in the Mixed Media, hand quilting category. At the CCQG show I bought some wonderful hand-dyed fabrics in autumn colors (you'll like them CarolSc and Daisy). There may be another leaf quilt in the future... and I always thought I was a 'brights' person...
On the subject of being open to new things... I have never been a big fan of stack-n-whack quilts but I thought this quilt a Sauder was wonderful! 
Here's another close up shot. Lots of machine quilting. Lots of beads. My kind of quilt!My sister called me this weekend. Big sale on Jane S. fabric at Michael Levine's in downtown L.A. I told her to buy me a yard and she bought 5!! She's bringing it out with her in July. Can't wait.
It's been pouring rain all day so no yardwork this evening. No Cubby. No meetings.
So here I am!

Yes, it has "been a while" --- welcome back! Now, we have to get Cyndee up and running! I look forward to seeing the "autumny" fabrics --- of course, I've rarely met a fabric I didn't like! I agree with your stack and wack evaluation --- that really is a neat quilt --- and, congratulations on the ribbon!
I can only "ditto" Carol's comments, Lisa. Congrats on the Sauder win. I agree with you on the Summit space. It seems a long way away, but the space was great and though thin, there was carpeting on the show floor. Easier on old and hurting feet. Daisy
