Class day and the day before

Here are some candid shots of the class and the Village of Flossmoor were the ladies in the guild took me to a very tasty and enjoyable lunch after my lecture on Wednesday. Before my talk and me talking about the 30 quilts I took for them to see, I sat through a guild meeting where they discussed their upcoming quilt show and I must confess I experienced a barrage of flashbacks both good and bad from my early days of quiltmaking when I was knee deep in the workings of a similar organization in Louisville.
God bless them was all I was consciously thinking. Been there, done that. And never again.
