It was a wonderful weekend, and you took some terrific pictures! I hope we get to go again!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Looks like a totally awesome time!!! :) Thanks for showing your pictures!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had an incredible time. Thanks for inspiring us .
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs and a Lake Louise too. Sounds like it was well worth the drive. What a wonderful trip and to be able to meet all of those tatters in one spot. I do hope you go again and share your talents with the attendees.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the 'red tree' is a crepe myrtle. My first experience with them was a trip to Alabama in 1969. I now live in crepe myrtle territory and have them in my yard. While I love them, hubby not so much as his mother used them as a 'discipline' tree. Joan in coastal MS who wishes she had been at tat days
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for these wonderful photos! I love the one of Jane, sitting on her well-deserved 'throne'! (She has the 'wave' down pat!) And the photos of Sherry Pence. Good to see Yorkie Sue, also. I believe she actually knew Mary Konior.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be a coincidence that the Tat Days weekend occurred during the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek (Sept. 8, 1966), which fits right it with the theme of 'Tatting is Out of this World', with a tatted rocket ship 'orbiting'. I find that amazing!
So glad you had a great time!
Thanks for sharing you pictures. I usually take lots and lots but I was so busy doing things and meeting people - including you! - that I took very few. It was great meeting you and taking a class with you. It could be interesting getting that rocket ship done on my own!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your photos, Marilee! You did a great job summarizing the event. I was very happy to get to meet you.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, thanks for showing us what we missed!
ReplyDeleteI was glad I got to see you again. It was a wonderful weekend. I'm looking forward to your new book.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are great even the ones of me! Adore the one of me and Sherry, so precious to hug again after all these years. Even got hugs from Miss P, who kept me entertained all weekend, bless her.
ReplyDeleteThanks soo much Marilee & it was grand to meet you too :-)
Yes Kathy Niklewicz, Mary Konior was my friend and sad to say I read the Eulogy at her funeral :-(
