At quilt guild I was surprised to see two of my friends from Copper Basin Ward show up as visitors. I hope that they had a good time and that they decide to join up.
After guild I went over to the Smoki Museum to see the mini quilt show put on by the ladies of the Lonesome Valley quilt guild. It was supposed to be a high tea but we did not see anything that looked like something to eat or drink.
We went to the quilt show to see a massive quilt created out of 1inch pieces of fabric. An elderly man who spent his working life as a dentist, re-created the last supper painted by Leonardo da Vinci . He pixilated the picture and then created the quilt. We looked at it up close and saw the workmanship, then looked at it through a paper towel tube and the picture came alive. We went round the back and looked at the quilting and it was magnificent. On a table in the room he had a sale notice - the Singer Featherweight Sewing machine on which he had created the piece was for sale with the table and at $850 I really doubt if he would have any takers since the going rate for a featherweight is around $400 - $450. No table is worth $400. In any case, the quilt was magnificent and my hat is off to this man for his accomplishment.
Our dinner party last night was really nice. We went to Rosa's Spaghetti and Pizza parlour. It was very noisy and it must have been really difficult for those with hearing aids.
Tonight, Oliver started up the Ipod touch and called me. He really wanted to talk to Grandpa but Grandpa did not answer his phone so Oliver was rather sad that he got me instead. He was talking about his school and he was happy with his accomplishment.
He said that when it is night here it is sunny on the other side of the world. I asked him if he learned that at school, but he said No, I just figured it out. Then he said "Is it bed time in your world?"
