Catherine was a CELEB at the Lancaster Quilt Show

Oh my goodness – I have never seen anything like this in my life. Walking around with Catherine at the Lancaster Quilt Show was like walking around beside Eleanor Burns (who just won the equivalent of the LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD IN QUILTING.) EVERYONE kept gasping when they saw Catherine’s jewelry and learned that she had not only designed, but made everything too. I mean REALLY. People were literally almost pouncing on her – taking her picture, bringing their friends to see her jewelry. Actually, I think jewelry isn’t even the correct categorical representation – I think her wearable art is “fantastical.” Ok – so how is that for mixing culture with TIGGER TALK!
Catherine was a celeb to me – as a special project the night before the show, she helped me make a special bag for my purchases at the Lancaster Quilt Show – she taught me to weave fabric! It was lots of fun! I can’t believe that she did this – she brought all the supplies and we made bags in our hotel room.
This trip was wonderful for a number of reasons. First, I have never been to PA and I have been wanting to go for years! I was not disappointed.
Second, I really enjoyed the country side and architecture – the buildings were amazing. The Amish culture is just fasinating….pure and simple..
…and last, but not least, I really enjoyed the infamous quotes by dear Catherine. Here is just ONE of them.
While giving Catherine a compliment….”It is so nice to have such a talented friend….” she quickly replied (trying to sound modest) “I wouldn’t know about that!” TOO FUNNY. But even though I am officially an UNTALENTED FRIEND, I really enjoyed being with my TALENTED FRIEND CATHERINE. You had to be there…..LOL!
