Yay! I put my recently finished quilt: Sumptuous Stars in Andrew and Sigs room and it fit perfectly! Since it was EPP and all hand whipped it is for "show only" sorry kids.
Wow! What a wonderful show from the Northern Star Quilters! Which is your favorite?
Mr. Starbuck is judging me. I can feel it at the sewing machine.
I'll be back soon with a Westering Women post with a yummy cake recipe.
Oh! One last thing......
Wow! Amazing quilts and too difficult to choose a favorite. The first one is so scrappy- makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteMr Starbuck...hahaha, judging you?? Yea, probably...
The quilt on the bed looks so pretty! What do you mean my hand whipped?
Oh la la. ..The first, the third, the Baltimore.....I can't choose ! They are all masterpieces !!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is ...sumptuous! ;) and your quilting awesome.
Do you think Mr Starbuck judged you ? Hmmmm.... the cats are the best for that no ? Ah ! Ah !
great quilts, i love your stars, i try to put a star on each of my grands quilts
ReplyDeleteWow that must have been quite the show! The pictures you've shared are wonderful. I like the first one the best - the flying geese border is fabulous. Your star quilt looks beautiful on the bed. Cake and quilting - I look forward to your next post :0)
ReplyDeleteSumptuous Stars is STUNNING! I love it! Congrats on this beauty. Great job on the Alice Payne too. Northern Star quilt show is so awesome. My favourite would be Storm at Sea because I just love Storm at Sea quilts but My Baltimore Journey and My Happy Quilt are seconds. Is the Muncy Compass hand quilted? It is gorgeous too. Thanks for sharing Barb. ;^)
ReplyDeleteThe show quilts are wonderful BUT it was YOUR quilts that knocked my socks off! Loved them ALL!! Your work is blue ribbon all the way!!
ReplyDeleteI love Western Sun, so nice a scrappy! You have such dedication to your hand quilting, I very much admire you for it! Sumptuous Stars is beautiful and I would not let anyone sleep under it either!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are stupendous! I have some "just for show" that my Mom made me.
ReplyDeleteOf the "show quilts" I can't decide between the first three.
I agree with your comment about how the quilting changes the entire quilt. Even quilts that I'm kind of on the fence about, I end up loving once the quilting and binding are on. Love the "Western Sun" quilt....all those flying geese! Tammy - High River, AB
ReplyDeletethanks Tammy!
DeleteLove your quilt. It looks lovely on the bed. Some quilts are just for show and that's okay. The quilts are the show are exquisite. Each of the ones you shared would be in your category as well, just for show, no sleeping under.
ReplyDeleteLove it all! Especially your stars! Thank you for posting.

Your stars quilt is beautiful and looks so nice on the bed! AP is looking good, too! Love the scrappy look of Western Sun and My Baltimore Journey is absolutely amazing! Thanks for the pics!
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy the miracle of quilting, just amazes me each time. Although that Baltimore is stunning and oh so much work, I have to vote for the compass quilt. I guess I need to make one someday as they always catch my eye.
ReplyDeleteYour star quilt looks beautiful on the bed! And the quilt show looks wonderful -- so much inspiration. I think my favorites are My Happy Quilt and My Baltimore Journey. They're all beautiful though!
ReplyDeleteYour star quilt is just lovely on the bed. I have several just for show quilts although I suspect when they are passed on they will be used. Your hand quilting on the Alice Payne quilt is wonderful as is the hand quilting in your blog header. Love the show pictures and it’s impossible for me to choose a favorite as they are all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh that looks so pretty on the bed! I don't think they will mind sleeping under something less ornate. It is amazing how the texture of the quilting brings a quilt to life and Alice is looking wonderful! Thank you for sharing the show quilts. I cannot chose a favorite. Happy Cinco de Mayo and belated "Star Wars Day".
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks beautiful on the bed ! Alice quilting is looking great. As to a favorite they are all beautiful and normally I'll always go for the applique as a favorite but in this case I pick "Welcome Happy Morning " with it's beautiful colors and design>
ReplyDeleteYour "Sumptuous Stars" quilt looks so great on the bed! Yahoo! Your Alice Payne is looking perfect with its diagonal quilting--a nice simple finish to show off the appliqué. Thanks for showing the show quilts. Very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteSumptuous Stars is just gorgeous! Congratulations on such a wonderful finish! Your hand quilting is looking beautiful! I have a book titled " Quilting Makes the Quilt" that is so true. All the show quilt are stunning! But I love the Western Star, because of its scrappiness and My Baltimore Journey , because of the applique. Please don't let Mr. Starbuck come to my house!
ReplyDeleteI really can't choose a favorite, but "My Happy Quilt" is definitely eye-catching thanks to its unique design! Sumptuous Stars looks wonderful on the bed - the light seems to make it glow!
ReplyDeleteBarb, all these quilts are amazing ! What a talented group of quilters ! Thanks so much for the lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, from Marina and Daryl
The Baltimore gets my vote though the red and white applique quilt is a close second.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see your one messy spot. It sure is a lot neater than any part of my sewing room.
Hahaha - thanks for sharing the pun; I hadn't seen it before. I hope Mr. Starbuck cannot see my sewing room at the moment; thankfully my cats don't pass judgement - or is that what they're doing when they look out the window all the time, turning their backs to the stuff in the room???
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely quilts from the show. The Mariner's Compass is especially inspiring to me; I have the perfect group of fabrics already gathered, waiting to be made into its sister.
By some lucky happenstance I found your blog just now to see that you featured my two quilts from the NSQG show that was held last weekend. Thank you for liking my quilts. You just made me so happy!
ReplyDeleteHow fun - thanks for visiting! you settings don't include your email - so I hope you see my response here.
DeleteYes Barb, I did check back...just wanted to add after I replied lasy night I thought that your name was familier...and sure enough! I have one of your patterns in my "want to do" basket...it is a small world! Also, I love the berries center medallion you started. Are you doing the "medallion quilt along" that Lori, of Humble Quilts, just started? I have been thinking of starting it and after seeing your wonderful center I want to give myself a challenge and start one! So, thank you for that!
ReplyDeleteI started before I knew anything about their sew along. I already have my borders planned out as I'm using some leftover blocks. Join their sewalong - or better yet - do your own thing like me :)
Deleteemail me at barb.vedder@gmail.com when you have a chance.
Can't make up my mind which quilt I love most from the Northern Star Show. They were all AMAZING!! I'm in AWE. Love Andrew's Star quilt. It looks great with the Sock Monkeys.
ReplyDeleteLove the Center Medallion Quilt you posted with all the left over berries.
And before I forget..Happy Mother's Day.
Why of course the FRIENDS OF BALTIMORE quilt is my favorite. I am working on block #7 of 16 and it was nice to see the photo you shared. I will be back to zoom in on it…..for study. I see peeking out from the edge of the photo a bunch of ribbons. Would be interesting to know how long it took her to finish it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see all your quilty progress too. Your Alice Payne will be FABULOUS when all gussied up with the quilting!
All of them are unique and beautiful! It's impressive how creative is the human nature. the Western sun took my heart.
ReplyDeleteI always love your beautiful posts...Thank you for helping me celebrate my daughter's wedding..xxoo
