The annual St. Jacobs Quilt and Fibre Art Shows starts tonight with a Volunteer Tea. Yesterday, a group of happy volunteers helped to set up the quilts. Again this morning a group of volunteers are completing the set-up process at the  St. Jacobs Mennonite Church. 'The Sea of Quilts,' is breath- taking. Lynn was working her magic at the Schoolhouse the wee hours of this morning. Don't miss!

Fannie's Trunk Show

This afternoon I attended a delightful Trunk Show and Tea sponsored by Nine Patches Quilt Store in Elmira.All the quilts were made by Fannie Roulett in early 1900's. This artist woman found interesting fabrics and patterns. The re-makes were amazing using vintage fabrics sold today. A highlight of the show was the stories.
