Paducah 2022 and a wee one:) from Nestlings By Robin

Not my first choice, but rooms

went fast in Paducah this year!

Thankfully the view was pretty

and watching the tugboats

with their multiple barges

was interesting!

I had the wonderful honor

to appraise at the AQS

Paducah show along

with taking my

appraiser class.

After work, I was able

to peek about and see

the fabulous quilts on display.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Janet Stone's work

is magnificient!

Keiko Morihiro's quilt

blew me AWAY!

I am completely inspired

by her lovely,

intricate work.

2022 Travels, so far:) from Nestlings By Robin

Mostly a picture post:)

In February/beginning

of March,

we were still traveling

to various quilt guild shows

so that I could do

appraisals.

(both views from our hotel).

After Naples, I had a ton

of work to catch up on

including another magazine

quilt coming later this

year to AQ magazine.

Finally, in April, I had

a bit of time to recharge

when I attended a FAB

quilt retreat at the

Quiltville Inn.

The group of talent

and kindness at retreat

was AMAZING!!

Sooo many laughs

Quilter's Workshop of Tampa Bay, FL 2021 Quilt Show from Nestlings By Robin

This guild does a FAB show

and they didn't disappoint this year!

One of the members

even wore her best

poodle skirt and scarf.

Wish I had asked for a pic:)

Here was my booth for

conducting business and

catching up with familiar faces!

Lots of vendors with lots

of lovelies!

This fun vintage booth

had a couple of 'take me home'

pieces just for me:)

Then we must not forget

the quilts:)

All silk ties!!

Grand Rapids Adventure from Nestlings By Robin

August of 2019 I flew to

Grand Rapids, Michigan to

take my appraisal test that

I had been training for

close to 3 years.

Here are a couple of shots from inside

the convention center that sits

along the Grand River.

My test would take place over 2 days.

A friend from Florida (also training to

be an appraiser) was in town so we

hung out taking in a lecture,

walking the floor looking at quilts,

and attending one of the Quilts of Valor

presentations where 3 quilts were gifted to Veterans.
