Saturday, we traveled back to Paducah, KY to see the National Quilt Museum. While we were tied up at the transient dock in Paducah, we were minutes away from the quilt museum, but it was 96 very hot degrees with 90% humidity that day and we just didn't have it in us to drag ourselves out into the merciless sun away from the airconditioner.
So after leaving Paducah and boating 7 hours by way of the Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers to Grand Rivers, KY, we hopped in the marina’s loaner car and drove 30 minutes back to Paducah from Grand Rivers to see the museum on a cool, cloudy and slightly rainy day. It was well worth it. We went with Gypsy Spirit and Blue Goose and had a really fun day. After we oohed and aahed over all the quilts, we headed for Kirchhoff's Deli for lunch.
That's the news and here are some views:

Every Cloud has a Silver Lining - This is a stunning work of art but I love the story behind it. You can read it below.
For the wedding of my beloved daughter - this quilt was gorgeous.
I did wonder how it came to be in the museum when it was made for a daughter's wedding gift.

This quilt isn't made of cotton or wool or any other fabric. It is made of basswood. It was carved and painted to look like a quilt.
