MQA Fall Gathering for Quilters 2012

This is a few of the Possum Town quilters who attended the  Mississippi Quilters Associational Fall Gathering in Cleveland, Ms, in the heart of the Mississippi delta this weekend.  And of course the first thing we do when we find the place is go to this little place called Craves to eat.  WOW, their cupcakes are awesome.  Seated at the table left to right clockwise is Sue, Watana (me), Patti, Ebba, Linda, Brenda, JoAnne and Judy.  The only one that is not in the pic is Terry, she had not yet arrived.

This is the Cotton Row quilters of Cleveland, Ms., who were our host for the weekend.

 This is Brenda playing hard to get and Linda looking wondering what in the world is going on here.

On of our entertainers for the night.  He is a Blues singer and a very good one too.  Look what he is playing, a guitar made from a cigar box; he made it himself.

Here come "The Boomers"

One of the Boomers giving Ebba a hug.  She looks pretty comfortable here doesn't she?

Brenda was a very popular lady that night.  Another Boomer singing to her. WOW Brenda, share a little with us, please.

Sue smiling really big, thinking, I'm next, I'm next. There is another Brenda in the right background waiting too.

Ebba looking happy.

Judy cringing thinking he is right behind me.

And what does he do but head right back to Brenda.  Wow Brenda, what do you have the rest of us don't have.
