September 16, we visited the Garden of Quilts at
Thanksgiving Point with our middle son and his kids. There weren’t many other
children there – not surprising, as they charged the full adult price for
anyone 3 and over. (Yikes!) We had a lovely time feeding koi in Monet Lake. The
kids pointed out quilts they liked, and we discussed how pieced quilts differ
from applique. Then we headed to the waterfall amphitheater café for lunch. In
years past, the thing I’ve enjoyed most is trying to find quilts I’ve made
among the hundreds on display in the 50-acre park. This year, I hadn’t
submitted any, so I wasn’t looking. Imagine my surprise and delight when we crested the
hill and came face-to-face with the log cabin quilt I’d donated to Stitching
Hearts Worldwide in November. I’d assumed it had gone to a refugee last winter,
but they’d decided to sell it and use the proceeds to help refugees instead.
