Todd and Lena

Life ...
We attended the wedding of Paul's niece Lena and Todd.

Our overnight guests were Todd's uncle Mel & Anne and his sister Susie.

... as a Quilter
Looks like I'm in for the long haul with this almost macro quilting.

Holiday Pines ... Continued

I have now added a gray border to "Holiday Pines," bringing elements from the center of the quilt out into the border. You can see where I started this quilt HERE.

My goal for this quilt is to merge or integrate fiber art with traditional utility type quilts. It measures around 60"X60" and is big enough for a throw for the back of a couch or small enough for a wall in your mountain cabin.

Now, my question is how should I quilt it? Is it complete with the gray borders? With what color should it be bound?

A Visit to Paducah and the Quilt Show

Some highlights of the annual quilt show for me was a visit with Lea McComas, the maker of “Bike Boys.” Lea received her inspiration from “a photograph and newspaper clipping from the Denver Post in the archives of the History Colorado Museum, Denver, Colorado.”

I like the simplicity of this quilt “Diamond Dust” by Doris Brunnette and Trina Kirkvold.

AQS fixed up such a nice display with my quilt “Family Circle – Farmer’s Delight” to promote their 2016 Quilt Art engagement calendar.

Hancock's of Paducah was a favorite spot for many quilters with 1000s of bolts of fabrics. This quilt was hanging from the ceiling of the store along with many others.

My niece, Holly and I visited the Yeiser Art Center to see the exhibit “Fantastic Fibers.” She fell in love with the 2nd place winner’s book made of fabric with hand embroidered words.

Shea Wilkinson’s fiber art reminded me of “The Body Song,” I fritter fratter frit … I’m the brain with the electric current … learning bit by bit …. and I fritter all the time.

Dana Finishes Her “Dare to be Unsquare” Quilt

… as a Quilter

Dana came one afternoon and worked diligently to finish her quilt.

She opted to put fleece on the back and tie it.

She started the quilt way back HERE. It’s so cuddly and warm.

And now her persistence has paid off!
This quilt is a lot like what Gina made HERE and what Emily & I made HERE.

Most of the ladies finished fusing their tops and a lot of them got a good start on the quilting.
