MISS D'S QUILT SHOW '23

This woman entered several of this style of quilts!

  They were all amazing!

One of the ladies at our church entered this one!

This log cabin was unique because of the addition of real log cabin houses throughout the quilt!

Turtle cuteness!

Beautiful applique work!

There were several with this muted palette-just gorgeous!

And then there were raw applique and bright colors.

A quilt for Valerie!

My favorite of the show was this needle turned quilt in the Hawaiian style.

It was her amazing use of Batik fabrics that gave this incredible use of color shifting for the vines and blocks!

The Flamingo Dance quilt I recognized from the Jacksonville Show!

And we have disaster in the studio.....one of the wheels on my machine (they allow the machine to glide in any direction-there are 8 of them) has split apart and the machine is unable to move smoothly, if at all!!!!   It is $250 to replace the wheels with the NEW system of wheels;  they are not sold individually! My machine is around 35 years old so I am stuck for a while which is really sad since I have a quilt loaded on it and a bunch of ideas percolating in my head!!!!

 

LOCAL QUILT SHOW DAY

 It's that time of year again and I am off to our local quilt shop

for their incredible quilt show!

I have friends with quilts entered

 (I don't enter mine-judging isn't my thing!) 

but I can't wait to see what is popular this year!

GIRLS' DAY OUTING

Our local quilt show had a quilt show yesterday and I went with two friends to enjoy, admire and be inspired!  This one was of interest to me because it was a hunter Star which I have made--but the setting really ramped this one's wow factor!

There was a large quilt with all of the lighthouses this quilter has visited;  I lived near this one!

I took a picture of ths one because I knew it would've been a favorite of my Mom and she wanted to share it for her!

I really liked this one--it is a panel quilt but the actual stitching is absolutely amazing!  Very clever!

And like last year-we all stood checking out this quilt made with house linens--there will be one of these

 in my repertoire this coming year!

After the quilt show, we three went out for lunch

 and a very nice time of talking.  

When I got home, I washed and dried my car and then was ready to drop-so I sat and knitted until bedtime! 

 What a wonderful day!
