A happy day

I spent the afternoon at a quilt show, with Ruth.
For the last ten days we've had rain.
For at least the next five, it will rain.
I may go out soon to photograph our state of floating away.
But, I went with Ruth to Lake FarmPark Quilt Show.

I turned in my ballot unmarked, at the end.
Here are all my favorites.

This quilt is called A Happy Day.
That's all. No further explanation.
I thought of Elephant Child's balloon fests.

This quilt is as good as it looks. For a minute it was Tolkien, to me.
Then I said "Oh, Joanne. Harry Potter."

Poppies, well done, are fine, any day.

I would call this one "View from a kitchen window."
Spring is coming.

Had I voted, this would have my Best of Everything vote.

And this one I picked for my mother.
She would have selected all these fabrics, especially the green.
She would have laid it out exactly as this quilter did.
She also would have hand pieced and quilted this quilt.
