Modern Quilt Guild - January's Meeting- a tad bit late.

Around the time my computer started acting up I had taken these photos of the Modern Quilt Club I belong to.  They are from several months ago.  Too good not to be shared. 

Making floor coverings with quilters cotton.

Brockport Quilt Show

Posts will be more regular now that I have my computer issues resolved.  It was definitely flawed before.  I could work on it for ten minutes before it would freeze up. Thankfully my husband took mercy on me and bought me a new computer.  Thank you babe! And thank you John!

This past weekend I went to a quilt show in Brockport, NY.  I know a few of the ladies who had quilts in the show.  I took pics of a few of the quilts - not all of them just the ones that really struck my fancy.

For some reason I did not take pics of the challenge quilts.  Which I have to say were amazing, each and every one of them.

Craftsy Mystery Box

I ordered a Craftsy Mystery Box online.  I waited and waited and waited...  And it finally arrived.  It's like Christmas receiving one of these packages.  All packaged up and not knowing what is inside.  I opened it with some trepidation. (how is that for dramatic?) yes- I can be a bit of a drama queen at times. 

Beautiful fabrics inside- 50 fat quarters.  A bargain.  Works out to roughly $1.11 per fat quarter.  But I will say because I always scriutinize prices, it works out to little less than 8 dollars a yard.  Because a fat quarter isn't truly a quarter of a yard but really 1/8 because you don't have the entire width of fabric.  Anywhoo.  I love them all. 

These lucious oriental type prints in jewel tones.

These sassy, bold florals.

Adorable, powdery baby colors.

And these, which I dont know what to say about these- medium, florals... Beautiful nevertheless.

All of them I just love.  I am hoping to whip up a baby bag or crib sheet or set. Just what shall I do with it, I dont know.  Maybe sell it on Etsy.

Ahhhh Spring

My sweet, sweet daughter presented me with this beautiful bouquet.  She is precious! Aren't her shoes a serious juxtaposition to that bouquet?

Eight Is Great

This is my ten year old daughter, ehem, holding up her eight is great quilt.  She designed all the animals for appliqué when she was eight.  I pieced it.  I did such a bad job of it because I was new, first time designing a pattern.  I was such a  newbie.  It had puckers all over it.  Frankly I was afraid of quilting it because I thought it would be hard not to get a fold over.  Thankfully it came out pretty decent.  It does have its quirks don’t get me wrong...

Carrots

Aren't these so cute?  My friend Sandy, yes that chick again from Quilting For The Rest Of Us, turned me onto this video from Missouri Star Quilting Company.  This is for sure not the first thing I made from a Missouri Star video.  They have great videos on You Tube.
