A Real Celebrity: Phil Beaver

We gathered  for an outing Saturday that was a real treat...We were in the presence of  a real celebrity.... Phil Beaver...He appears regularly on HGTV's Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson. Pictured above with the SoTA Sisters are his friend Jim and him...

We were treated to spending the afternoon at his house and touring Jim's house, flower gardens,French Lick Hotel and The Dome...

Our day started with a guided tour by Phil of his house which is a true work of art in itself...I will be posting in the days to come the quilts, and paintings that he has accomplished which are hanging in his house...

After a short time of visiting in what I would call the sun room we were escorted to the dinning area for a fabulous meal..The table was so festive and colorful. Food that was indescribable...delicious doesn't seem to be enough to completely relate the meal..Below is a picture of our lunch...just looking at it makes my mouth water...

Broccoli soup, baked chicken, a pineapple,egg side dish, served with a cup of cheeses and soup crackers.. garnishes of oranges...hmmmm..Below is a picture of our dessert..

Oh my, heavenly, chocolate cake with ice cream and fresh strawberries  More to come. The Ol'Blogger...  Below is a comment by Jody I added because it was worded with everything I wanted to say.....                                                         

This was a day of wonderful pleasures. As we walked up we were drawn to a beautiful garden and pond. We were treated to an incredible lunch, tour of wonderful homes, art work, studios and gardens. We were given a tour of the FL Dome and Hotel with history and personal stories that our host has experienced. The greastest pleasure was spending time withour hosts and friends.         Jody
