Airing Quilts and Along the Boardwalk

Last May as Lucy Locket was traveling through Huntsville, she notice a festival taking place that neither she nor I had heard of: "The Airing of the Quilts". I love quilts and admire anyone who can take cloth, needle and thread, and make something so beautiful. I put the dates on my calendar, and LL made arrangements to meet me in Huntsville Saturday morning, May 2nd. Of course there are some really nice boxes in the area, so we met at at the State Park. I arrived first and had a really nice, quite time to map out our order of boxes on the trails. We wanted to make sure we got back to downtown before the quilts were put way for another year.





We found several boxes, and decided to check in the hotel, cool off and then go look at the quilts. After relaxing for a bit, We made our way down to the square. I have to say, it's almost like a child in a candy store, which quilt do I look at first? It's an amazing site to look up at the courthouse and see all these quilts hanging there and blowing in the breeze. LL and I both had a list of our favorites, there were too many to pick just one.
After a day of quilts and boxing, we decided we would get some rest and finish our boxing the next day. We woke up Sunday morning to rain and storms. We had breakfast and made our way back to the park hoping it would stop raining long enough to get the rest of the boxes. We were able to get only one, because the trails had flooded and there are alligators in this park. I wasn't willing to take a chance on waking up an alligator. The rest of the boxes will have to wait for another day, which is just fine with me. Really nice Sate Park.
Leaving Huntsville, LL followed me to Crocket to stamp in a couple of boxes located there. We stamped in, and went our separate ways after having a wonderful week-end!
