  6. Barbara....Thanks for your show lists. I was in Washington D.C. in October and read your fall list. Low and behold, there was the display at the DAR Museum. I dragged my sister to it and we so enjoyed the quilts and the rest of the building display. I would not have known about it without your email list! Thanks so much. Arden

  7. Not related to current shows, there's a photo on this long blog post by genetic genealogist Roberta Estes of a quilt by her great-grandmother she says was in the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. I checked my copy of Patchwork Souvenirs - this one from Indiana is not in the book. It's the 6th photo in the post: https://dna-explained.com/2020/01/11/what-is-a-quilt-52-ancestors-268/

  9. We were in Elkhart, Indianna, from South Africa in 2011, on a road trip, found the Shipshewana quilt show quite by accident while exploring the areas wonderful quilt garden route. What a treat - quilts in half the hall, vintage cars draped with vintage quilts in the other!! Not sure if it's an annual event, it was absolutely wonderful, and hubby lived the cars... :-)

  10. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
    Email him at: Emutemple@gmail.com
