Independence Hall Quilt Show

Hello Everyone,

Thanks to the incredible help of dear friends, my booth at the Independence Hall Quilt Show in Angels Camp is nearly all set up!

Yesterday, we rolled in with three SUVs packed to the brim—quilts, bolts of fabric, patterns, and kits tucked into every nook and cranny. We’ll bring one more load down today to finish the setup. The show kicks off Friday and runs through Sunday, and I’d love to see many of you there!

For me, the true joy of a quilt show is the people—the chance to visit with so many quilters whose paths have crossed mine over the years. You've become cherished friends and loyal followers, and I’m genuinely grateful for each and every one of you. Your stories, your creativity, sharing pictures of your quilts and your kindness make these gatherings feel like home.

Angels Camp, CA is a charming foothill town with a literary twist—made famous by Mark Twain’s short story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Every year during the Frog Jump Jubilee, the town leans into its quirky heritage: overalls, corsets, and even bloomers dangle playfully across Main Street, turning the whole place into a joyful tribute to Twain’s frontier humor.

We once took a friend and visitor from China to Angels Camp, and she thought this was one of the funniest things she'd ever seen.  Those crazy Americans!

The sidewalks are lined with the names of the winners on a bronze plaque. 

Angels Camp will be my cozy corner for the next few days—come on by and swap a few howdies! I’d love to see familiar faces and share a smile and a hug or two.

Soon,

Lynn
