weather – Independence Hall Quilters Guild

It’s our first snow of the season here in Arnold. I have mixed emotions about it because I have not yet stocked up my pantry for being snowbound. As for “things to do,” I am overstocked with yarn, fabric, and UFOs (Unfinished objects).

Personally, I love to watch the snowflakes fall. Especially the floaty fat flakes. I’m sure this is why I can’t progress much on anything I work on while it snows.

Isn’t that the beauty of snow days? The world slows down. The pressures and urgencies of life aren’t so in-your-face. When there is one snowplow in town, it keeps the highway and the main roads clear. Residential cul de sacs are the last priority, and we are fortunate to have our street plowed at all.

The weather advisory tells of small storms coming through all weekend. Our last Guild Meeting for 2024 may not happen as planned. We could meet via Zoom, but it’s more fun to Sit ‘n Sew in person!

Either way, I’ll see you January 6, 2025.

I sure hope everyone who wanted to go did.

The weather was gorgeously autumn. Sunny and crisp, with a slight breeze that ruffled the leaves yet did not blow them off and around. The grounds at Ironstone were pristine, of course! Decorated with brilliant reds, yellows, and browns, as if fall had saved up its Ta-Da finale – just for the Faire.

The Boutique had oodles of fine handmade items and fun stuff. The Country Store was closed this year, and we hope to open it next year, COVID permitting. Our vendors had wonderful things to offer, and we (and I speak for me, actually) spent a bunch on essential things I needed. Yes, I needed that gorgeous “jelly-roll” for a class I was signed up for!

If you did not have the chance to follow the fancy shoes up to view the quilt show, I almost feel sorry for you. Let me show you a smidgen of what you missed. Of course, the photography is lousy, and the quilts look one thousand times more incredible in person. But then, you weren’t there to see them, so I am telling you this.

Maybe we will see you next year…

The 44th Annual Mountain Heirloom Quilt Faire will be held: October 28th, 29th, and 30th, 2022
