A Cool Call Came Today

I got a couple of emails and a cool call from a friend, Shari Guimont, today. We collaborated on a quilt that she entered in the Minnesota Quilt Show "Quilting in the Quarry" that took place this weekend. We won 3rd place, and another quilt that I quilted for Arlene Liska of Trego WI won 3rd place in the "First Entry" category.

Shari's quilt is a beautiful paper pieced wallhanging, and Arlene's is a Civil War reproduction queen sized quilt. What a great ending to a wonderful weekend.
