    Default Quilts and Statues Scavenger Hunt!

    After seeing Elise1 picture posts I thought of a fun idea. Let's have a scavenger hunt per say. Try to take a picture of one of your quilts draped on a statue in your city, town, even yard. I think it would be so much fun to see all the pictures. I am off to the city to see if I can find one today.

    What do you all think?

    Sounds fun! Personal perspective, though, tells me those of us on the east coast will have to wait a week or more because of the impending humongous storm due over the weekend and into next week. I'll be checking back to see those who aren't weather restricted though!

    Sounds like fun. We have a war memorial I will try to get to.

    I love this idea! I have the choice of two great places to go this weekend if "Sandy" doesn't spoil it.

    Sandy is a huge storm set to hit the U.S. coast in the next couple of days? It has already slammed into Cuba.

    Oh my Gosh! This is a great idea. I live in Manchester, NH and we have a huge mill building district where they used to make textiles, steam fire engines, etc. As a tribute to the mill girls who came from the surrounding countryside to work in the mill, we have a Mill Girl statue. I just realized she would look great with a quilt draped over her! She was probably in the mill make textiles! We do have that big storm coming though, so I may not be able to do the picture until it passes as the sun is not expected to be out until then. I will post the photo when I take it. I have scrappy quilt from my grandmother's sister that would look perfect.
