It's that time of year again, time for the Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale held at the Elkhart County Fairgrounds. I don't have a quilt in the auction this year. I had delivered a flimsy to the long arm quilter, she put it into the frame in July and started the quilting. Then she fell while climbing steps and broke her arm in two places up by her shoulder. All quilting came to a stop while she healed. She is now in physical therapy but quilting hasn't happened yet. That quilt will be donated to next year's auction.
Here is a link for you to view all the quilts in the auction. There are 251 photographed quilts in this year's auction. The Relief Sale supports the programs of MCC.
I have no pictures of my own to share with you today, however, in August, Lynn, Elaine and I attended the AQS show in Grand Rapids Michigan and I took lots of photos. Here are pictures for you to view. This is only a fraction of the quilts there. I'm posting the quilt first then the name card. These are quilts that attracted my attention, not all of them won a ribbon.
What can I say? I love applique quilts!
