I got an email that said - I followed your Mystery Quilt Dakota Inspired and I have it finished - I will be traveling through Loveland and I think you aren't too far from there. Could I deliver it?
And I said YES!!! lets meet in town and get ice cream - because - as you know!
There is nothing better than Meeting Quilters, Quilts, and ICE CREAM!!
Kathy and her Husband Dave made the trek to Kersey Pizza and it was so much fun!!
Although. I am not sure Dave is going to let me hang out with Kathy again..
He said - gosh she starts so many projects - to which I said - yes - that is what artists do...let her go.
And he promptly laughed and I think swore me off forever hahahaha!!!
Seriously - two of the nicest people ever!! It was a great time ( for me, she doesn't blog ( yet) so we won't get to know what she thought )
I had so much fun talking with them , and learning about Kathy's Quilting Journey. She makes a lot of quilts for donations - and I think that is so cool! She also might have gone on a fabric buying journey here in the states - I loved seeing her car all full!!! Super good things will come out of it!!

Wow - it's beautiful. And how much fun to get to meet them, AND have a quilt delivered. I'm looking forward to your next mystery.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! And a lovely QOV, too! Thanks to both of you (and her hubby).
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt she has made! And how nice to get to meet and chat with each other over ice cream!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great meet-up. And you've reminded me that I bookmarked that pattern. Now I'm going to really think about it.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing that you got to spend time with her and I agree; that backing is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt!! And what fun to meet up with a quilter.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome to get to meet and spend time with someone who follows your blog! The quilt is absolutely beautiful! Sounds like my kind of trip...fabric buying!! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings! Have a great week, Alycia!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. How lovely to meet the people you inspired!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is a great story! Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that?! Awesome quilt, Kathy. SEW jealous that you got to meet Alycia in person!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous quilt. Love the quilting and the backing is a must-have. Plus you got to meet and share ice-cream, thunder and rain be damned! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt! Where is she from? I need to make one of your quilts and meet you for ice cream!! ��
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! You know if you published your address on the blog, you'd have hundreds of quilters showing up on your doorstep demanding to trade quilts for ice cream... ;-)
