This weeks projects

I am working to participate in several quilt shows in the midwest.

This means I need to get product ready and more quilts ready for display.

Thank goodness for all of those WIP (work in progress) or UFO (unfinished objects) which will help me get ready for these shows.

I will get the photos ready and post soon.

Funny Farm quilt

Just finished the main quilt of the Funny Farm quilt pattern by Karen Snyder. 
The pattern used contrasting fabric, as did I. 
The quilt is blue and white and ready for the borde to be attached.

Hope you like the results..  I did.

Crazy Quilting

My Monday sewing group met today.  Only 2 of the 5 are quilters.  One likes to crosstitch, one is a knitter and one is a rug hooker.  Surprising - all but one has their "crazy" block ready to go. 

I received Judy's block today.  She has placed a beautiful commercial decoration on the block.  I can move it on the block or leave it. (Judy worked as an embellisher for an upscale shop in St. Louis.  She embellished gowns for the maids and queens in the Veiled Prophet parade.)  The piece is left over from one of the gowns she worked.

I wonder what I can do.  This is the hardest part of a round robin.  Where do you start?  How do you know what to do? 

Civil War Quilt

The Flower Valley Quilt guild is having a Civil War theme for their July meeting.  Though I am not attracted to the dark colors, usually found, in Civil War quilts, I have decided to make such a quilt.  Above is the fabric collection assembled for this quilt.  The blues, browns, and taupes make a nice visual affect.
The pattern selected is "Cottage Row" by The Teacher's Pet a 56 x 72" quilt which I will make into a twin of 68 x 86.
