Paducah

Just returned from two days in Paducah.  I thought in general there were too many medallion quilts, too many kits but still some real stunners.  The great part though, my friend Judy had her quilt in the show.  Here she is:

Always a thrill to see your quilt in a show.  I quilted it.

I spent the day geocaching and exploring more at the Shaw Nature Reserve.  This spring is a perfect storm of flowers and blooming trees.  Everything is coming out at once and it's stunning.  I felt like I was in a special fairyland as I walked through the woods.  Here are some more shots of the spring woodland in Missouri.
