Robin got up at the crack of dawn to drive down to my house from Long Island and after chatting, visiting my sewing room and checking out my renovations to the house, we went to the luncheon.
It was a gorgeous 66 degree day and with the restaurant right on the water, we had a wonderful day.
Jackie is a joy to meet and chat with. WHY I didn't get a picture of us with her is anyone's guess..... This picture is the only one I snapped :(
After a delicious lunch, Jackie had a trunk show and also brought some kits, patterns, magazines etc. with her.
I took more pictures than these 3 but some just didn't come out right. Her quilts are absolutely gorgeous and the work that goes into them is phenomenal!
I have to say, the girls from the Beachplum Guild were sooooo nice and very accommodating. When we got to the venue we were given a ticket for some of the door prizes, a free fat quarter and a bag of M&M's with a really cute MODAFABRICS Emergency Kit label. I won the 6-1/2 inch ruler and a wooden ruler holder.
I did have to drop a few bucks along the way and bought a Judy Niemeyer kit for a quilt and also bought some fat quarters and 2 bags of pins that are exact replica's of Jackie's quilts.
We met 3 really nice women that we shared a table with and at the end of the show I actually met one of my online friends Carolyn. I had no idea she was going to be there but one of the girls from my LQS brought her over to introduce me. AGAIN, no picture :(
In closing, we bought raffle tickets for the guild's quilt raffle. NO, I didn't win, but it is a beauty isn't it?
I'm not a member of this guild YET....but I can tell you that I'm going to join when they start back up in September! They don't meet over the summer and since I have a ton of stuff on my plate in May and June, I'm just going to start out fresh in September. What a nice time we had with a LOT of wonderful women!
