Weekend Recap




I took six of my recent quilts
and one from 2010
to this year's Davies Manor quilt show.

Rise and Roost . . . 




The Spotted Winkel . . . 




Epicenter . . . 




Scrappy Bow  Ties . . . 

(the heart quilt was made to hang
in a local cardiologist's office)




The Scrapbook Quilt . . . 

(with a king size quilt hanging
on either side of it)




Tea Party . . . 

(due to lack of entries, 
the Panel Mania challenge was cancelled)








I spent all three days with the quilts 
from the 70273 Project.

SO many stories were shared.




Ms. Andrea comes every year with her hand crank machine.

She was such a help with our XX block drive.




Even those who sat at the admission desk
got in on the XX action.




There are now 80 completed blocks 
with more to be turned in on Wednesday
when people come to pick up their quilts.

That will be enough to piece TWO quilt tops!

(I will quilt one of them
and Chris volunteered to quilt the other)

And after seeing the quilts, several people 
expressed interest in hosting block drives,
including a visitor from New York state
who is taking information back to her quilt guild.




Little Man and his parents came to the show
and with Ms. Andrea's help, 
he made his very own marble bag.

(she said he's the youngest bag maker to date)




He also made his very own XX block.

He picked out two buttons
and then put the others 
back into the zipper bag
one button at a time.

Priceless.

18 in 18 - The Quilting Edition



I plan to participate in Lynette's 18 in 2018.

Just preparing the following summary
of my waiting quilting projects 
helped clarify what I want to accomplish
during the coming year.

I do not necessarily feel pressured to finish these,
but I am very (!) tired of them hanging in the closet
and making it difficult to use the shelves they block.

So, without further ado . . .
