The Quiltmuse Came to Camden!

Oh what fun it is to meet an internet friend in the real! That happened today when Jacquie Scuitto, aka the Quiltmuse, her hubby Lou and brother Don all came by Camden, Maine, to visit. Lou took a TON of photos at our house (more later when he gets home and sends a CD / jpegs!). We all enjoyed meeting each other and families (the boys and Paul were here, along with Yeti the wonderdog), then we did the requisite tour of the house ending in the best room—my studio!

I got to unearth a fair number of my quilts, including some that are still “under wraps” and share, and Leo took photos of Jacquie and me with most of them! I got Lou to stand in as my personal photographer and had him take this picture of Jacquie and me at “command central, aka my desk on the old Baker’s cupboard in the kitchen/dining area holding the postcard Jacquie sent me as a total surprise a while back.

Then we went into town and ate lunch at Marriner’s, the old diner on the harbor side of the main street that bills itself as the last luncheonette in Camden, “no ferns, no quiche”. Accordingly, we ate fried! Clams, scallops, shrimp, a Philly cheesesteak for me, and pie and custard for the Scuitto’s! Here we are, fed and happy (L to R: Jacquie, Don, Sarah and Lou):

They were all in Maine for a family memorial service near Bangor (about 80 minutes north of me) so I’m sad for the reason that brought them here, but was SO glad to be able to meet them all! Don told me it was the first time he and all his siblings had been together in the same place at the same time since 1946!!!! Too long! Next time, Jacquie, it’s my turn to come to NH!
