Quilting Day


We went to the Mission Historical Museum to view quilts.  Entrance was free but Sue left a small donation.  


The building above is a former post office serving Mission, TX.


One of the quilts Sue thought was cute.  These photos were taken with her iPad.


This quilt has a theme about the ways that chicken can prepared for the table.  The upper left  square is of a "stewed chicken".  Can you guess the types of chicken dishes represented in the other squares?  Let Sue know what you think!


This is Linda, posing with Ruth, who works at the museum after 35 years working at a bank across the street.  She has collected dresses painted with themes of different areas of Mexico.  The picture is of coal mining typical of one town in Mexico.


Did I enjoy the quilting?  No, I spent my time in the Mission library.


Linda recommended "El Patio" as a place for us to eat lunch.  Very good!   Tomorrow Ruth leaves us after a wonderful week with her.
