My youngest sister, Jodi, came to Kentucky for a two week visit and we had a blast.
I didn't even give her a chance to unpack, because the morning after she arrived we went for a three day two night stay in Paducah, Ky - home to the
National Quilt Museum.

While we were in Paducah, we attended a class on Gelli Plate printing taught by Kristin at Ephemera. We had never heard of Gelli Plates, but we are officially hooked. The class was so much fun! The class size was limited to six, and we had five ladies who took this Saturday morning class. Now I want to take a mixed media class at Ephemera - maybe next year. I wish Paducah was closer.

Inside Kristin's Shop
Paducah is a cute town and the old downtown buildings are being used for shops and restaurants.

The old Coca Cola plant has a coffee shop in one end, and a craft brewery in the other end.
Everyone told us that we needed to stop at
Patti's for lunch on the way back from Paducah. It was delicious - we had pork chops and wonderful desserts - I had the six inch high meringue pie.

Of course Jodi and I had to buy Gelli Plates, and we set up our own craft tables in my sewing room. When I get better at printing, I'll share my prints with you. But trust me, it's fun
