Paducah 2015 - Meeting friends........

It's wonderful to meet up with friends, old friends and new friends. Lots of friends on Facebook stay Facebook friends but some become real friends.

Donna and I have been friends for a long, long time, first meeting on MQR, (Machine Quilting Resource) , then meeting in real life at MQX in Portland in 2013, now meeting again her in Paducah in 2015. That's Donna's quilt Purple Haze in the background.

I've also met Kim Stozenberg at MQX Portland in 2013 although only briefly as Kim was teaching and here in Paducah Kim was working on the A1 stand.....

Vicki Lovelace, I met in Heathrow Airport, again on the plane and then again in Chicago Airport

,we had a little chat and then went our merry way back into our own lives....

I have long read and admired the quilting of The Quilted Pineapple, Linda Hrckra, and was so pleasantly surprised when she called my name in Finkels at The Primitive Gatherings 'pop up shop'...we laughed and hugged as we called each other 'Rock Star Quilters', what a pleasure that was, then we met again in the very same shop when Linzi went back to purchase a quilt kit....

As I speak we have left Paducah and moved on to Nashville, 'music city'......so hot here I need sunglasses.......check me out.....

Checking out now, will be back with another travel update soon but will leave photos of Paducah till I get home.....
