Now that the Surfside Quilters Guild newsletter is finished and posted, I am hard at work getting quilts ready to ship to Texas Quilt Museum and the Quilters Hall of Fame in Marion, Indiana. Two different exhibits covering about the same time span - July through September. Since this is something I have never done before (ship more than two or three quilts from TCQC) it is a sharp learning curve for me. I have new boxes and very large plastic bags; Liz will come tomorrow to help me make three stacks of quilts: Ruth McDowell quilts for Indiana on the bottom (since they ship later), a stack of quilts for the program I will give at Canyon Quilters in San Diego next Monday evening, and a stack of 46 quilts to go to Texas this week. I know I will be tired tomorrow night, as I am tonight, and may not have the energy to blog. Right now I am going to bed!
"Summer Lily" 2002 58"W x 70"L
This is one of the quilts that will hang in Marion, Indiana, at the Quilters Hall of Fame when Ruth is inducted into that institution. The exhibit runs from July 17th through September.

Do what you can and you'll be fine!!!
A labor of love. How exciting that all your beautiful quilts will be seen by so many people. I didn't know anything about Ruth McDowell until i saw the show at Visions-now I have bought 2 of her books and want to try her techniques. Thank-you for your generosity!
Ditto what Elaine said regarding your labor of love and Thank you for your generosity!! Your efforts bring visual pleasure and joy to many. Thank you, Del! :)
