We are in the summer of Covid 19. Just starting to get outside a bit but keeping our safe distance.

The quaint little town of Oxford, MD that I moved to a year ago usually has a open studio tour on Labor Day weekend. However, with Covid-19 lurking around, the town decided we could display our works of art outside the Community Center, six feet apart. Thankfully it was a beautiful sunny day out. There were several great painters represented, some etchings, jewelry, ceramics, and I was the lone quilter represented. The hard part was we were only allowed 3 items. How do you choose just three??? So I picked a small table runner, a medium sized wall hanging and a large bed sized quilt.

The set up volunteers were very excited to help me display my quilts. They wanted them in the trees so as to entice passerbys to stop in.

Here are my two helpers helping me hang my large Aboriginal quilt called Blowin Down Under

We couldn’t find another set of great branches to hang the next quilt so we decided to just use the ladder. Here we have added the Whale Tail wall hanging.

I decided just to leave the Sunflower table runner on the table alongside my business cards. Here I am holding the table runner amongst my display of 3 items.

I had so much fun meeting so many great people. Some were locals but there were also many visitors in town as well. I sold the Whale Tail wall hanging and the Sunflower table runner and chatted with many people about custom orders they had ideas for.
