Horrors! That "lobster" in the last picture is actually a crawfish! No lobsters in New Orleans, unless they were flown in in a tank! lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all those beautiful pictures and close ups! It is wonderful to be able to see the quilts as well as what you would naturally do, have a look close up! I am sure many with me are thankful for people like you giving us pictures of the events we cannot get to! thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteNancy,
ReplyDeleteOh, my, I am sure you are right. I am such a Yankee! I will correct it right now. :-)
The quilts are all breathtaking. Such amazing designs, work, patience and attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you for showing all these close ups. Someday I will get to Houston to see a show. Sharon's block is amazing. So many wonderful artists.
ReplyDeleteThe birds nest by far I just found your web page and it is amazing. Someday I would like to be half as good as you.
