We all had a blast wearing Jay's clothes around Saturday... We all sadly gave the clothes back... ;-)
Above:Jay talks about his "Touchstone" object during his Q.S.O.S. story.
The Orange outfit modeled by Luke Haynes (rock star quilter), was a project Jay did in College,
dealing with Mental illness...Straight jacket included!
Lisa, (9patchnurse), won an interview with Jodie Davis and Mark Lipinski for a clip on
their "Quilt out Loud" show explaining what a Q.S.O.S. interview is,
and a bit how it goes...
So great to see you again Lisa!
Marianne Fons was fabulous.
It was Mary Fons, (of QUILTY, ) Birthday! Happy Birthday Mary!
We ended the day with a cocktail party at City Quilter and a viewing of
Noriko Endo quilts... Lovely!
6 Board members small quilts were auctioned off at the event.
I bought Luke's Quilt.
I wonder who the image is? LOL
Johanna, bought mine, and it is on it's way to Florida...

ReplyDeleteHappy sewing
I bet you had a blast. Love the pictures. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! The quilts you donated and bought are both wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I am still star struck. Seeing and meeting so many of my quilting heros (and Mary Fons is a new one for sure!.) It was an awesome 2 days and I had a great time every single minute. I hope the Alliance does this every year. Victoria, I can't believe you were able to give that skirt back, it was gorgeous on you. Thank you so much for all the fun and excitement.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a rousing success! Love the skirt you were wearing, very nice. Great job on this event!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading both of your posts about the events this weekend. It must have been absolutely fascinating to be able to attend!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the ticket I had a wonderful time. What a great organization and great project the Q.S.o.S is. I so appreciate that Mary Fons gave me hope that my 20 year old might still find the same joy in quilting that I do someday!
ReplyDeletePatience!
Victoria, your quilt creation is GORGEOUS! Looks like everyone had a marvelous time.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful week ~
TTFN ~

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun weekend! It would almost be worth going crazy to wear such a beautiful strait jacket...
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun time for all of us to read about this, V! Sounds like you all had a ball and all did a fabulous job in all ways! I'd say that was one cool quilt to buy and it will sure fit it spectacularly with your loft decor. Everyone is saying you did a a fabulous job of your interview..that's so great! Awesome in all ways!
