Calico Garden quilts always catch my eye -- my mother wanted to make that quilt when she was quilting. Maybe someday I'll do it for her haha.Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809008266578798843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-27459674078739741532018-05-21T23:27:00.689-04:002018-05-21T23:27:00.689-04:00Show and tell is usually my favorite part of our g...Show and tell is usually my favorite part of our guild meeting. Quilting can be a very isolating craft, so I love to see what others are making, how they put a pattern together, the colors/prints they use.

Congratulations on your "Mother's Garden" quilt going to Houston. I can't believe I have never been. I would love to go this year, but it is so close to the AQSG seminar.

This year I will be entering my Dear Jane quilt at the Yamhill County (Oregon) Fair and possibly at the Oregon State Fair (also my Flags of the American Revolution [quilted with your fan pattern]). And another 2 quilts will be hanging at The Great Oregon Steam-Up (antiquepowerland.com) where they display all kinds of antique steam engine machines. The quilt show was added for the women who were accompanying their hubbys to see the antique machines so they could see something they were interested in. BTW, I won "Best of Show" for the last 2 years at the Yamhill County Fair (I hate to brag), but it's a small competition. Your post is most encouraging because I think many quilters feel timid about displaying their quilts. I will also be hanging 2 quilts at "Treasurers in the Attic" which includes a quilt show and is at the Yamhill County Heritage Museum (I love the name of our county - it's so unique)!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912222251238739813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-81146787415096257472018-05-18T08:33:34.038-04:002018-05-18T08:33:34.038-04:00Amen sister!

Sharing joys ...Sharing EVERYTHING makes it better. Sharing joys enhances them. Sharing sorrows lightens them. And sharing quilts? Well, we learn so much about each other looking at our quilts; we learn techniques, we learn about color, we learn about design. And we learn about persistence and determination when we see intricate, complicated quilts; we learn about courage when we see quilts that are statements of the maker's feelings and opinions. I love sharing my work with my friends and at shows; sharing has helped me grow as a quilter and grow as a person.OT Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10816512255136804934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-85553783701887845862018-05-16T12:52:00.813-04:002018-05-16T12:52:00.813-04:00Barb, thank you so much for being willing to make ...Barb, thank you so much for being willing to make the trip down to us and for sharing your quilts and your story!
