Gold, Laura? Spun gold? Sorry if I snicker, but I can get them at any

of the major book stores (although I get it from a local bookseller if I

can, and I also wait for the new year to start (half-price, y'know).

Actually never thought to check the local quilt stores. This year's was

gift.

Coming out of "lurdom"! Our Barnes and Nobel had about two dozen this

year - but my "main" (I try to buy from locally owned business) book

store did not have any and couldn't order any. Go figure! Back to

Hi to everyone! Just wanted to say "Hi" and tell all I am back home again. I

had a great lecture tour in the Pacific Northwest and met many wonderful

people. Can't list them all, would be so long, but here are a few

highlights. If you are ever near Dallas, Oregon be sure and stop at

Grandma's Attic, a terrific quilt shop. We did a great

tea/slideshow/trunkshow/workshop there. Rachel Greco and her staff were just

terrific and very knowledgeable. The high point of it all was sitting around

Pat Smith's living room that evening (Pat was our hostess and a staff

member). All of the shop staff had come over and we had great Chinese

Take-out Food, and afterwards, I did the trunk show all over again as they

had missed it because they had to stay and run the shop. What fun! Husband

Charles was the only guy there most of the time until Rachel's husband, Steve

came, and he had a great time.

Rachel also has an on-line quilt shop at www.grandmasattic.com. Later on in

the trip we had the pleasure of meeting and giving our program to the

Quiltmakers of Olympia, WA. Our gracious host and hostess, Dave and Sue

Dolliver gave us a roof and a tour of the Olympia area. Just beautiful! Got

to meet sister, Margaret and Buster the Dog! For those of you who also do

reenactments, Dave builds and repairs black powder guns. What a collection

he has! I could hardly get Charles to leave. Next, on to the Sunbonnet Sues

of Sequim, WA where Norma Holbold and her cat, Oliver had us stay at her

wonderful quilters retreat, Greenhaven. If you have ever considered going on

a quilters retreat with a friend or a vacation with your husband to this

area, consider this. On the beautiful Olympic Peninsula in the state of

Washington, Norma and Oliver will make your stay a happy one.

normah@olymen.com for more information. Well, what I am leaving out would

make a book, so will close with saying the Quilt Market in Portland was

overwhelming and educational. Wow! One last thing, I would like to thank

one of our members, Joan Stevens, of American Doodah (AMDOODAH@aol.com) for

her kindness and interest in helping me assemble many of the Redwork pieces

that are in my Program. Joan, I never would have made it without you. Hope

to see many of you at Albany for the conference and at Omaha at the quilt

restoration conference where I will be giving my program. Toni B.

Marilyn Woodin of the Woodin Wheel in Kalona, Iowa , a well respected and

long time quilt dealer has a small museum at which she hosts wonderful quilt

July and has asked to borrow The Sun Sets on Sunbonnet Sue quilt from my

collection. Duting our conversation, she asked me if I knew of any

collections of old sunbonnets she could use in the exhibit. It seems a

perfect query for QHL. You can contact her directly by phone 319-656-2240 or

email me and I will pass them on to her .. Thanks Shelly Zegart

Sometimes I don't pay close enough attention to the wonderful information

that this list provides.

I am planning to reproduce an old quilt top that has been handed down in my

family. The original cotton top is just to fragile to handle. An appraiser

dated the quilt circa 1885. The pattern is streak of lightening. I need to

find some indigo print fabric similar to the one used in the original. I

really don't want to buy antique fabric because I want this top to be

everyday usable. I plan to make a label for the new quilt with a photo of

the old quilt on it and the little information I have.

To see a picture of what I am looking for, please go to

The Lone Ranger takes them away...tada dump, tada dump, tada

dump dump dump! <G>

I know this from being a volunteer at a library that was

computerizing, and it was only after they were dumped that we

discovered that the company that was hired to computerize the

card catalog had omitted D-G.

Actually, the card catalog cabinets are not particularly useful as

storage. There's a brass rod that runs along the bottom of each

drawer, and the cards are punched so that this rod keeps them

from falling out. So the drawer bottom is not flat, but has a ditch in

it. You could remove the rods, but there'd still be the ditch.

Others have found that fishing tackle cabinets and Hot Wheels car

garages are great storage for littler notions. There are also many

storage units that have small drawers like a card catalog. In the

long run, unless you want a piece of fine furniture, they may cost

less and give you more storage, since there are a lot of drawers in

each cabinet and the cabinets usually have long legs (so, wasted

space underneath).

I'm curious to find out, though, what you decide on, so let us know!

Dear Barbara, I don't know the origin of the expression "trunk show," but in

the quilting world of speakers and programs, it means that the speaker is

bringing actual samples of quilts, etc., in addition to her presentation.

For instance, in my program I bring many "trunks" of linens and quilts to

display and talk about.

Hope this helps to clears the meaning up.

and may I add to my friend Toni's reply..my trunk is filled with a variety of

feedsack items..bonnets, dresses for teenagers, shirt for son, ladies

fashions, household items, baby clothing, and WALT DISNEY collectables...all

made from colorful feedsacks, never to be seen again..the guests can see them

,touch them, feel them, examine them, enjoy them...that is why a lecturer, or

like myself, a storyteller, provides a trunk show..to please the guests.
