I had an opportunity to spend two days with a GREAT bunch of quilters near Utica, NY.  The Snow Country Quilter’s!  They were loads of fun and fantastic quilter’s too!  On Friday, they treated me to dinner at a really fun diner, The Soda Fountain!  Like a local Johnny Rockets! Loved the music! 🙂

That evening, I stayed in the Sugarbush Bed and Breakfast!  I LOVED this place and didn’t ever want to leave!  It was a fabulous old country estate, built in the early 1800’s.  Beautiful gardens and grounds, guest rooms that are soooooo comfortable, a peaceful verandah off the back, and a hostess that couldn’t do enough for me!  From afternoon tea, to the hearty breakfast, I was totally pampered!  If you ever decide to visit that part of New York, make sure you schedule a few nights with Bill & Molly.  Address is 8451 Old Poland Road, Barneveld, NY 13304, website is www.sugarbush-bb.com  Some attractions nearby are, Glimmerglass Opera House, Farmer’s Museum, Utica Zoo, Baseball Hall of Fame, Canastota Canal Town Museum, Erie Canal Bike/tow path, and the Adirondack Scenic Railroad, just to name a few! 

So, on to Saturday where the quilters and I got to work!  They chose the three individual hangings from my “Up North” series, “Deer Island”, “Lakeside Retreat” and “Chick & Dee”.  And all three were well represented that day.  Take a look, WOW! they really kept going, as you can see with the almost finished quilts!  Great job Snow Country Quilters!  I hope to get out their way again sometime and hang out with these fun gals! 

Ok, let’s see if I get the names straight!  🙂
