Bridal Registry - Texas style

We (meaning my mother, sister & I) drove to Voca this afternoon for a quilt show. For some reason the thought of either going to a quilt show or touring Voca (pop. about 12 - NO stores) had no appeal to John. Anyway, the Voca Quilting Group was celebrating their 60th anniversary by displaying over a 100 quilts the group had made over the years for friends and families. Am not sure if any of the founding members are left, but several current members are daughters of the founding members (it does seem to be an all-female group).

So if you're a bride-to-be how do you register for a quilt? I have no idea... Suspect you have to be lucky enough to be related and on good terms with one of the quilt members.

However, I do know you can register for other items at the hardware store in Brady. The store puts out a table and folks leave their "gift" purchases on the table. The bride for this table is planning a June 9th wedding. As you can see, gifts so far include a shovel, an ax, garden hose and "accessories", a jet burner and (my personal favorite) several boxes of shotgun shells.
