Yes it's Spring … the time when the Quilt Shows are just about every weekend!
For a quilter it's like having to decide which candy store to go into!
The week started out with a Quilt show in Rhode Island -
The Narragansett Bay Quilt Guild always puts on a fabulous show!
Here are a few of my favorites … in no particular order!
Just LOVE Turtles - so this quilt "Calypso" by Judy Chase
really made me Smile!
Had to laugh … her inspiration was Jacques Cousteau!
I have such fond memories of watching his sea adventures
on his show … way back!
(pattern is "Follow Me" by Carol Morrissey)
"My Sanctuary" by Patti Finelli is from a McKenna Ryan pattern…
this came out so Lovely!
"Red Compass Stars" by Mary Loftes is from a Jacquline de Jonge's pattern.
These quilts always blow my mind …
all the paper piecing and intricate twists and turns…
sometimes ya just need to step back and take a breath!
"My Pennance" by Gloria Penta was amazing!
Love the colors!
It is from the Judy Niemeyer pattern "Glacier Star"
The next two are from a special exhibit of Mini Quilts ….
these two were just outstanding...
And I even WON a basket!!!
Yippee …
always wanted to make one of these Bali Bags …
now there is no reason not to!
Wednesday night I had the privilege of presenting
my interactive Sashiko Lecture/Demo
to the Nimble Thimble Quilt Guild
out of Reading Ma
Nice group of quilters!
Here are just a few snaps of some of the members
doing their Sashiko mug rugs!
Yesterday Mom and I took in a very nice quilt show
by the Lindsey-Woolsey Quilt Guild out of Attleboro Ma.
My absolute favorite was this beautiful Baltimore Album style quilt
"Simply Baltimore" by Barbara Roberge
All hand appliquéd and hand quilted!
Just Stunning!
"Row by Row" by Suzanne Perez
(pattern from Bee In My Bonnet)
just made me smile!
Have the book - will definitely put this on my
Quilt Bucket List!
"Criter Christmas" by Sharron MacMullen was another favorite!
So cute! She did needle turn appliqué for all of the critters and shapes
and it was beautifully quilted by Celine Spader.
There were so many more from each show
that it's so hard to post them all.
Next weekend…
Quilt show and Chelmsford and
moving my daughter out of college!
Better schedule in a bit of house cleaning…
hmm…. think I'd rather Quilt!
