and the talent and skill that was presented in the show was great.
I was especially over whelmed by the members Color challenge, there must have been 40 20x20 quilts all lined up on the back wall all used the same fabric and instructions. all I can say is "Wow" the variety of quilts and techniques was amazing each quilt was unique and varied, this was my favorite part of the show because it was the members, speaking as one we really are a talented group of kindred spirits. This year as some of the vender's left the building they made a point to tell us how much they enjoyed the show, business must have been good.
I was able to be a part of the Fashion show it was so much fun my dear friend Trish Dolge came with me and helped with my changing, she also did my hair, make-up and she even changed my lipstick color for each outfit I must admit I felt like a queen. The fashion show was sold out so they made room at the back for ten more fans. My Granddaughter took the pictures they are a bit fuzzy. My outfits were a bit over the bar but they were well received and they made a good balance for the viewer.

Leaves of God Fall 2009
My seasons have flown by so fast
I can hardly remember the details of my budding
I bloomed far too early forced by natures call
The flower of my youth stolen
My spring lost
I could not hold my bloom
As fruit required all my time
That season of summer went so fast
Consumed by my fruit youth slipped away
Never to swing freely in the warm summers breeze
I held fast lest my fruit should fall
Hot summer days turn to chilly nights
My fruit now ripe hear falls call
They release to face their own unknown
I watch as they fall free
My branches lift from their weight
I stand-alone the crisp air begins to blow
Indian summer comes with new love
I bask in the crisp sun light
My beauty is seen and shared
With the bloom of crimson leaves
My golden years begin
Too soon, I see my skin begin to shrivel
Youths golden beauty slips into grey
My hold on the tree of life seems futile
The frost of winter comes so fast
I hold tight lest I fall
So many leaves are falling
I watch as they let go one by one
My winter is here my time has come
The cold ground awaits my fall
The snows of winter cover my memory
Yet the family tree still stands
Spring will come
New leaves will unfold
The seasons of life begins again
