quilt festival tonight!
My epithet says it. Tonight is the preview night for Quilt Red-letter day. I'm going. My first experience with quilt festival was in 1979. I went with an almost 3 month old Reed in a tummy bevy and was blown away. I have been every year except 4 since then. One year I had a sick daughter national from school; I took her.
