Some Of The Quilt Show Pics

there were so many quilts that i did not take pictures of. i hope you enjoy the ones that i did.

this one is on the cover of Positively Pineapple. i know this because i might take a class in September. i have the book & ruler in case they call me back.i could picture this in a happy kitchen. but definitely not on white walls.reminds me of living in England. what's not to luv.i did luv this scrappy one. & would love to make one. the full squares around the outside in the same dark print really frame it nicely.i would luv to own this one. hmmmm. without doing all the work.this was truly beautiful in person. those are big orange beads or buttons on the big yellow fish.this should not discourage anyone from entering a blue & white challenge. except perhaps me.i luv the soft colors & prints of batik used in this one.a nice way to frame a sweet collection of illustrations.she was so cute. and so is her quilt.her brother also had a road panel quilt that his grandma had made. he told me that he picked out the fabrics & his grandma made it.

i have more. & will post them another day.

Scrappy Sunday

Block #8

i also went to a quilt show & was totally into this contraption. they ran out of books that explain how to make your own frame but they are mailing me one.

a few fat quarters to make me happy. strawberries for my Be Attitudes class. white geisha for my Big Print Party quilt. red to mix with "just about everything". stars & dots to use in my Santa quilt.
that's the raffle quilt they printed on the postcard. it was on the cover of some magazine in 2006. can't believe didn't take pic. but i will post some quilts from the show later this week.

these are the other things i took home.
a wool felt embroidery kit. comes with everything you need. i loved the candy one. a brand new smock top pattern because i still think i'm young at heart. a purse insert pattern that might be my xmas present project (shhhh!), a beachy wall hanging with a fantastic palm tree (stop drooling Messie Jessie). some quilting needles & hand-dyed variegated thread for hand quilting my aqua & purple quilt.

this photo is for Linda Belinda.
i loved this scrappy quilt. all of the beautiful fabrics were ones you would expect to find in a beautiful scrappy quilt. then i spied this one block up high & thought. how's your quilt coming sis?
