Gloversville, New York

I was lucky to be invited to work with a super nice group of quilters from Gloversville, New York.  I had never been to Gloversville before.  And guess what?  They used to make a lot of gloves there!!  Now, there are just a few glove factories still in operation.  The name of the guild is Sew Busy Quilt Guild.  You can find out more about the guild by logging on to sites.google.com/sewbusyquilt/home.  Here are some of the ladies working hard on our hand applique project.

As we drove in and out of the area, we were in awe of the landscape.  There were hundreds of geese along the banks of the river.

This area had a big snow storm about 3 days prior to our arrival.  I wonder if  the geese were thinking…..this much snow at the end of March??  We should have waited until April!!

But because of the recent snow the streams were just beautiful.

It was one breathtaking view after another as we drove down Route 30A.

Of our two dogs, Tillie  just loves to play in the snow.  She rolls and runs and goes crazy.  She’s like a little kid.  And she’s no spring chicken!
