Haiti Benefit Auction in Florida

Life …
Paul and I traveled to Florida with my sister Coleen and Glen from Georgia. Mother had been visiting Coleen and her family for a number of weeks so she came along with them. Here we are with Vernon K. and my cousin Ann Marie and Aden, waiting in the extra long line for a catfish supper plate.

The Voice of Praise acappella quartet harmonized beautifully as they sang songs of encouragement.

Many people gathered around to watch these men saw that huge log into boards.

I enjoyed a ‘blooming onion’ made by the group from Meigs, GA. So very delicious with either Ranch or Southwest dressing. This gizmo made quick work of slicing the onion.

Paul and I spent the night with his sister Dorcas and Randy and family on our way home.

Another sister, Lois and Titus and Kelly along with Melinda, Paul’s niece came for lunch before we left for home.

… as a Quilter
I was fascinated by this quilt at the Haiti Benefit Auction and loved the design and colors. Upon closer inspection we found it to be a “cheaters” cloth! It was beautiful anyway!

Mother and Coleen take a close look at this different quilt. It almost appears to be smocked.

I loved the color and design of this unusual quilt.

Wondered if you saw the kaleidoscope quilt. A friend, Marvi Mohler, helped auctioneer, and he had posted a pix of that. It caught my eye and made me think of your unique quilts!
