We woke to snow this morning. It only accumulated on the rooftops and the grass, it definitely feels like winter may be just around the corner. This afternoon, Mr Busy and I worked at our quilt show. We set up displays, vendor areas, and hung quilts from 12:30 pm until 6:30 pm. Wow are we tired!. Tomorrow I will work at the Quilt Show all day and again on Sunday. I took a few pictures, and will take more tomorrow.

| Three bed quilts on display. The pink and brown one was made by a friend of mine after winning a whole lot of fat quarters in a Right-Left-Center game played at a retreat. She had enough to make a braid quilt for the front and a scrappy back all in pink and brown-----called Chocolate Covered Strawberries. |
The blue and yellow quilt is the graduation quilt I made for my youngest granddaughter in 2011. Luckily we visited with them in Fort Collins last weekend and Shasta allowed me to borrow it back so I could hang it in the show. The quilt is called Weaver Fever, a design by Jackie Robinson. The fabric is called " He Loves Me", designed by Jackie Robinson too. It is the first time I ever tried a mitered corner on a border.
This little wall hanging is called " One Nation Under God". I have been working on it for quite a few years, and because it was just for me, quilts for others caused me to put it on the back burner. But I decided to finish it this week, when all the political mud-slinging has made me know that we needed a reminder that we are still " One Nation Under God". The kit was designed after 9-11 and features a prayer remembering 9-11 and all who lost their lives then.
