RSC Quilts at the Show

Over the weekend,

eight of my quilts were at the annual

Davies Manor Quilt and Fiber Arts Show.

Fruit Loops

hung against the backs of

RESPECT and The Eclectic Goose.

Inside the frame, from left to right,

The Eclectic Goose

RESPECT and

To Have and To Hold

with the left edge of

Umbrellas Unfurled.

Turning to the right,

Umbrellas Unfurled

No Ugly Flowers

(back side of Arrowheads)

and Happy Happy Joy Joy.

Arrowheads hung against the backs

of HHJJ and No Ugly Flowers.

If I hang Arrowheads at home,

I think I'll hang it this way.

(landscape vs. portrait orientation)

In addition to this sign up sheet,

we had information flyers

for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

There were more quilts this year 

and fewer vendors.

The new lights also made

a BIG difference. 

(the older/antique quilts 

were on display at the Manor House

and a couple of the cabins)

Thank you 

to the dedicated volunteers who 

organize and stage this annual event.

It is so much fun to see what others are doing

and connect with other local quilt makers.

Mid-Year RSC Check-In Post

Angela asked us to post today about our RSC 2015 progress,

so here is my mid-year update.

I started this year with three long-term projects in mind.

One of them, No Ugly Flowers, is currently away being quilted.

The Stroop Effect (above) and Just Wing It (below) 

are on temporary hiatus.

I want to finish both of them before the end of this year,

but not by working on them one month at a time.

* * *

There have been lots of other smaller projects, too.

I also started this year with all of the completed

pieces and parts for six projects from RSC 2014.

Three of them are ready for quilting:

Arrowheads

RESPECT

and

The Eclectic Goose

A fourth - Umbrellas Unfurled - is currently on the design wall

with a flimsy reveal planned for Saturday (if all goes well).

That leaves two more to be turned into quilt tops before year-end:

Happy Happy Joy Joy

and

Fruit Loops

Have I reminded y'all lately that 

I am really the happiest 

when I'm making scrappy quilts?

Scrappy Saturday - Let the ORANGE Begin

From this rather unassuming pile of scraps . . . 

came this WOF x 46" made-fabric strata

(SO happy to finally have a great way to use those gloriously random 2.5" strips)

AND

this group of smallish scraps

that may or may not end up being used.

* * *

Over the next week, I'll finish stitching the small scraps together

and begin making pieces and parts for my September RSC projects:

Umbrellas Unfurled (wedges)

The Eclectic Goose 

Fruit Loops

Snowballs and Nine Patches

Happy Happy Joy Joy

and

Arrowheads.

But more on that next week!
