In addition to attending the Texas Retreat I also attended my first Mississippi Quilting Association Gathering. The Spring Gathering was in Brookhaven MS - my hometown. In addition to attending the meeting I also got to have a family reunion with all of my brothers. More about that later.
The MQA's Spring Gathering was held on the Copiah-Lincoln Community College Campus. Just the location was reminiscent for me. I attended my first two years of college there and also returned for 10 or so years as a science instructor -- lots of good memories.
The Brookhaven Piecemakers sponsored this gathering - what an outstanding job. There were many door prizes, beautiful quilts on display, show-n-tell, demonstrations on various quilting techniques and a lecture on the famous "Dear Jane" Quilt. Several of the ladies displayed their progress on this quilt.
A good time was had by all.

Dear Jane in progress
Needle Turned Applique Rooster Quilt
Raw Edge Applique - I heard that this lady spent over 5 years on this quilt.
Grandmother's Flower Garden - 1 inch hexagons, circa late 1800s.
The tables had various themes. I though this was beautiful. They gave all of decorations away at the end of the meeting.
Three Sandstitchers Quilt Guild Members were in attendance.
A good time was had by all.
