OK, maybe hurtling isn’t exactly the right word. I wish that UPS tracking was more informative….

Really really really wish it was more informative.

Really.

Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about….

DEPARTURE SCAN

And just in case you, dear readers, don’t have something hurtling at you from SLC, here’s some real pick-me-up ideas from How to Save the World.

More trip photos

Some of Mom’s photos of our trip to the Chicago Show.

Some more un-messed-around-with shots of mine from Saturday.

And this in today from Virginia on the outcome of the Fiberart For A Cause postcard sale at the show:

I just had to let you know that the final count for money raised for the American Cancer Society at IQF-Chicago through the sale of fiberart postcards was just over $18,000. Or should that be $18,000!!!!!!!!! :) Yes, that is over $50,000 raised by Fiberart For A Cause since its inception in 2005.

Many thanks to Virginia, her sister Nancy and helper Cathy Neri for all their hard work, as well as all the postcard makers and postcard buyers. And a big thank you to Karey Bresenhan for her support of the cause.

Un-messed-around-with photos taken at the IQF Chicago today.

Earlier today:

got to meet some folks hanging around the FFAC area, buying postcards, including Martha McGuckin who bought one of mine! Martha is a QuiltArt member from Indiana. Cathy insisted on introducing us and took our photo together for posterity. thanks Martha! thanks Cathy!

Here’s Mom snapping up one by Pam Allen.

So here’s a few photos from where we are. First, some views of the great FiberArts for a Cause display:

Another View.

Virginia and Cathy.

Two of the quilts we saw tonight:

Mooncalendar by Irene Kahmann of Germany.

Continuum by Dianne Firth of Australia (I’m a BIG fan!)

And let’s face it, there’s nothing better than going to a show and seeing your own quilt, even if you can’t take photos of it. So here’s a view of Mom.

And here’s a view cropped from background of other image.

Look Mom – they’re looking at my quilt!
