Still Playing...

Our week continued with a stop in Golden, IL with Hancock County Quilters

Two small quilt guilds threw a party and I was lucky enough to be their guest! Their one day event was hosted in the quaint little community of Golden, IL where they're famous for their working windmill from 1872. Robert and I both enjoyed the tour and history lesson of the windmill from our guide, Dave. After a morning workshop of Aleece's Charming Stars, we were treated to a delightful lunch of chicken salad, fresh fruit and of course, dessert, then continued with an afternoon trunk show.
Explaining the KT Layered Patchwork technique.

Several helpful quilters holding KT charm quilts.

Their President, Sharon Anderson. Thanks for a great day playing with quilters!
