Gap Relief Sale

After Winnipeg the wide open countryside of Pennsylvania beckoned Phil again. So he headed on down south of the border again. His plane was held up in Toronto due to a thunder storm which was altogether regrettable. However nothing can hold a good Phil back from indulging in an MCC relief sale. Here are a few images from the highly regarded and particularly tasty Gap Relief Auction. Not held in Gap. But it is an auction. Sweet times with the friendly folks. I spent up big on quilts. Thankfully not my money. Unfortunately, also not my quilts to keep. But the thrill was huge anyways.

Philip in Winnipeg
