Thank you for so many nice comments and for entering my AQSG giveaway. Congratulations
Janet of Mrs Sew n' Sew!.
As promised, here is a better look at the antique 4-block applique' quilt that I won at the live auction event at the AQSG Manchester Seminar.
I love the large starburst flower center.
How great to have a provenance label on the back of the sleeve! I think the baking is a white sheet.
It has chunky wool yarn ties. I think I would prefer cotton floss, what do you think?
One of the details that
I Love is that she used the same green for buds....
except on this one, where she used the solid green of the stems. These are the funny quirks that I just adore.
At the Seminar Wendy and I lent a hand with the silent auction. As I said last week there was about 450 items to sort.
I won this set of sweet embroidered kitty pillowcases. I also picked up a couple of embroidered towels and some old quilt books.
After winning first place at my local fair, I was invited to the CT State Fair dinner banquet. They judged quilts, 3 baking categories and photography for top state prizes.
Hanna and I had a nice buffet dinner and saw a wonderful QOV presentation.
Alice Payne was awarded First Place in CT - Applique - so exciting! The Blue Feathered Star won 1st in pieced and was hand quilted.
Alice has one more quilt show next week at the
Brownstown Quilt Guild show. It is a wonderful show and I'm always happy to be part of it.
I'll be there Friday Morning and I hope to see some of my NJ quilt friends.
Have a great week! Check out my IG feed (on sidebar) to see my Halloween Decorations.
