Paul and I had lunch with Darryl and Laura one last time before they move to Detroit.

… as a Quilter

Brenda, Ebba, and I went to Hattiesburg, MS for the biannual Fiber Art and Quilt Show.

This beautiful, modern, yet strikingly simple bird house quilt took my fancy.

Martha Ginn gave an inspiring lecture on “Creativity.”

Her bonfire quilt with a shining moon on glitzy netting over an old tablecloth was marvelous.

These next two quilts are part of the 2014 Hoffman Challenge. The recognizable fabric has the colorful circles in it.

I love the way the red strips in each block bring this quilt together. I think this would be something nice we could make at Sewing Circle.

I’m thrilled that my peacock “Palatial Plumage” got an honorable mention in it’s category and also “Judge’s Choice.”

And then too my “Bubbled Double Nine Patch” also received two ribbons, first in it’s category and best machine quilting with a domestic machine. I’m pleased as punch!

Enjoyed your post, Julia! Congrats on the ribbons. I saw your lovely Lily quilt at the AQS show in Des Moines yesterday! Somehow it had gone over my head that it took first place, but then many things go over my head.
