    Hi all -

    Flat Rita spent the day yesterday at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival in Loveland, CO. And what a wonderful time she had!! She and I got there early and just hung out outside until the doors opened. She decided to spend the day in the pocket of my purse so she could see everything, but wouldn't get too tired out. After all, she's also at the Festival of Quilts so it's a pretty big day for her!

    This show included quilts from the local guilds as well as the entire set of Hoffman Challenge quilts. There were also a bunch of good vendors, but Flat Rita was very careful with her money. I wasn't!! As we were enjoying the Hoffman Challenge quilts, we came across one that we really loved and Flat Rita insisted that we get a picture of her enjoying the quilt:

    Many of you will recognize this as our own Betty Jo's wonderful quilt! It was really great to see it in person! Just before lunch, we met up with some of our TQS friends:

    From left to right we have Melony, Diane, Sharon, Flat Rita, myself and Linda. What a fun group of friends to enjoy the show with!

    Nancy, Thanks for sharing your fun with me. I especially loved seeing the faces of all these women that I someday want to meet. Since your picture, Nancy, is not your Avatar I like having a picture of a person in mind now when I read your posts. Thanks.

      How neat! So glad you were all able to make it to that Festival. Wish I could have been there too. Thanks for the picture of Irene with Flat Rita...I love it.

        BJ, I really liked having my picture taken with Irene too. Doesn't she look well! And great to be with all my TQS friends. And Nancy, thanks for letting me stay in the pocket of your bag, I was feeling a little tired (and hung over after all that whiskey and maltesers in Lorchen's suitcase. :lol: )

            Ah yes well Wendy, there is nothing like a wee nip of whiskey to lubricate the throat. :lol:

            Comment


              Well I first met Rita at Starbucks



              Look at Lorchen's cheeky face up to mischief. Ann is trying to look serious :lol:
              They did look after you Rita


              Rita got quite excited at the prospect of glimpsing Kaffe Fassett so we lurked near his quilt
              A man said ooh you've got one of those ... and was a bit nonplussed when he met Rita :lol:

                No sign of Kaffe on friday so she hung out with the locals and got a new dress to console herself




                Lorchen may have some pictures to add. Happy travels Rita

                      Oh Lorchen does look like a naughty schoolgirl in that photo! I am so glad that you all met, and glad I was there too! As for Kaffe Fassett, now why has he never been on The Quilt Show?

                        We started out bright and early for Missouri on Saturday morning. Flat Rita was very excited knowing she would be seeing Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. Unfortunately, what Flat Rita saw was a lot of corn and soy bean fields. The only difference in the three States were when we were closer to Missouri the terrain became hilly instead of flat. Flat Rita was excited about having a new dress. She sure looked pretty!

                        Flat Rita spent a little time checking out the growth chart that Eli's grandma and grandpa made for him.

                        Then she went to check out the sweets table. I think Flat Rita likes sweets.

                        The table full of presents was her next stop. She really liked hanging out with the Toy Story characters.

                          Then it was time to sing Happy Birthday to Eli. He really wasn't sure about all those people standing around making noise and thought about crying.

                          But then his mommy whispered to him that Flat Rita is a famous singer from Ireland and he cheered up.

                          Flat Rita wanted to be close when Eli had his first cupcake and even managed to not get frosting on her new dress.

                          Continued on next post.

                            Eli did manage to get the frosting all over him.

                            Then Eli decided to get to know Flat Rita a little better (it's alright, no one-dimensional characters were injured).

                            Flat Rita couldn't understand why anyone would buy Eli a "do-rag" but someone did. It became clear when she saw the second part of the gift (do you really think a one year old boy should have a Harley Davidson?).

                              Grandma (ritzy) finally did get a few seconds to get her picture taken with the birthday boy. I think he had a good day but he sure was tired.

                              Comment


                                Ritzy, I'm glad everybody had such a brilliant day. I'm surprised that Flat Rita didn't insist on trying out Eli's Harley!
