Dogwoods in Paducah - Beautiful for AQS QuiltWeek

Today Wayne and I took a drive on the Dogwood Trail. The dogwoods have bloomed just in time for the quilt show and all of our visitors. Here is a pictorial trip on the Dogwood Trail...

Love seeing the American flags in so many yards this year

The trees on the grounds of the Grace Episcopal Church are really pretty.
The Church was one of the winners in the Dogwood Trail Contest.

Hope we will see you next week in Paducah. The quilts are beautiful - can't wait to see who the winners are - the winners will be announced on Tuesday evening at the 30th Anniversary Celebration and Awards Presentation, 4:45 - 7:00 p.m. at the Carson Four Rivers Center.

If you need information on the show, go to www.AQSshows.com. The show runs April 23 - 26, 2014.

The Dogwoods are Blooming!

Today was my day to go take some new photos of dogwoods for us to use in our quilt show materials. How do you like this one?

I love the red dogwoods.

And look how pristine this white dogwood is? When they first open full out, they are just beautiful too.

Other flowers are blooming too - here we have a variety of tulips, phlox, and a white dogwood tree in the background. Don't you just love SPRING when the blossoms add color everywhere?

Look at this pretty iris I found blooming - look at those yummy purples!

We drove on the Dogwood Trail, and the dogwoods look like lace as they line the streets. If you are in Paducah, don't miss driving the Dogwood Trail, in daylight or at night when the homeowners light their dogwoods and flowers. It's pretty either way.

The AQS Quilt Show is April 21 - 24, and I hope to see many of you here.

There will be plenty of beautiful quilts to see in the quilt show.

Along the Dogwood Trail

This is the view of just one street lined with dogwood trees.

Wayne and I enjoy driving the trail every year. The trees are just loaded with blossoms this year.

Pink Dogwoods - Paducah, KY

I saved the best photo for last today. Here are some of the beautiful dogwoods waiting for you when you get to Paducah. I stopped along the Dogwood Trail to shoot this photo.

See you next week in Paducah. We begin with the judging of the quilts tomorrow - by Monday we'll have them all judged. Safe travels on your trip to Paducah.

Paducah is full of blooms

This evening Wayne and I had dinner with Klaudeen and Mervin Hansen from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Afterward we drove part of the Dogwood Trail. This was a corner full of blooming tulips, pansies, and a beautiful dogwood tree, and even a pretty Red bud tree in the background.

If you are coming to the quilt show next week. the dogwoods are just starting to bloom so there will be plenty of them for you to see. Don't forget to drive the dogwood trail...and when you see all of those signs marking the trail attached to stop signs - think of me, that's my Paducah dogwood block design that is used on those signs. It's also on the banners downtown.

See you next week at the show!
