Twelve Meet-up in San Diego and Del Was There.

Mr C and I are in Southern California, escaping gray skies and rain in Portland. Today was the last day of the Quilt Visions exhibit at the Visions Art Museum. We arranged to meet Karen and some of her friends and Del, who gave us a most wonderful docent tour of this fabulous exhibit. Then we went out to lunch and much chatter about this and that and art quilts. Thank you, Del.

A Postcard for Our Twelve by Twelve Angel

I often send fiber postcards as a thank you. After our fabulous time in Long Beach with Del Thomas and her friends, I made a couple of postcards. We call Del our angel, she always says she is no angel. Whatever - she is a very special person and supporter of this group. I decided to turn her into an angel. Of course, Del does not have a golden halo, she has a golden hat!!

Here is the card that I made for Corky's parents.

More Photos from Long Beach

It took most of the day, but we finally got the 3 twelves with Del for a photo in front of our exhibit. We look quite happy and with good reason. Our exhibit was one of the most popular at the show, once again.

We drove out to the harbor and met Del's friends, Sherry and Jim, who took us on a lovely boat ride in the harbor on their Duffy boat. Here is the boat. It was a very comfy ride and was very quiet as it is electric. 

This is the view over the bow of the Duffy boat.

After cruising the harbor and the canals of Naples, we stopped at the Yacht Club for dinner. Del's birthday is Sept 1, but since she is always out of town, Sherry and Jim had a cake to celebrate tonight. I love this photo of her and it is much more Del than the photo I posted last night.
