Two of my good friends are quilters, Patty and Jennifer. I have made or have helped make quilts, and I do appreciate the work it takes to make one, and I appreciate the artwork. We went to the Quilts and Vines Event in Sioux Falls at the Strawbale winery. It was a beautiful day, and it was great seeing all the beautiful quilts and taste the wines. We drove near to the winery where we parked, then caught a bus that was provided, and arrived to pay our entrance fee. The proceeds go to Blankets for Linus (They provide quilts for those who are in need.) We were given a wine glass and off we went.
Here is Patty with one of her quilts that she provided for the event.

A few days before the event a storm hit Sioux Falls and hit the winery. Here is a huge tree that fell as a result. They had to do quite a bit of cleaning up to get ready for everyone.
