February Fun

New England Quilt Museum!

I had a  day of good weather so I drove up to the NEQM to see the new exhibits and my quilts on display.  Thank you to Pam and all the volunteers who made everything look so beautiful.

Here is my Artist's Statement~ 

Old Abe has never looked so good.  Nice to have it on display for his 213th Birthday.

I don't know who Joan and Lew are, but their little note in the guest book  touched my heart.

There is a bird exhibit on display that I loved.

I'll share one with you.

Laura L. has put together a gorgeous display of Tree Quilts from the museum's collection.

I adore this quilt by Ruth McDowell.

Since the show is still open that's all I'll share for now.  I know several people who are going to attend, so I like to let them discover it all for themselves.   See details on the NEQM Website.

I'll be giving a talk to The Applique' Society this Saturday at 1pm Central Time.

 Here is a link to their website if you are interested in becoming a member.  Membership is $25.  There are many resources and benefits.

I thought I had finished my words quilt.

Then I decided to go back and quilt additional lines.  I'm glad I did. I will say more about that when it is completely finished.

I've also started a baby boy quilt for a friend with two different Fun With Barb swap blocks.

The tutorials to make all the swap blocks are still available, see the tab at the top of the home page.

Stay Warm and Well and let me know if you visit my quiltts!

Catch Up Post

Finished Swap Quilt!

Maureen brought her quilt to a presentation I was giving in Warwick NY.  It is hand appliqued and hand quilted.  I Love it!  What wonderful borders.

Lin McQ sent me this photo of her finished Folk Art Top.  She is calling it Menagerie.  Isn't it fabulous?  She used my patterns and made many of her own.

My Sewing Group met and shared 2 new groups of Word Quilts.
Pauline's word is "Eye"

Blackeyed Susa

 Seeing Eye Dog

Nancy's word is "Time"
Saving Time or was it Time Saving?

 Time Bomb

Norma's word is "Cat"
Cat and Mouse

 Cat in the Hat (in progress)

My word is "Bee"
Bee's Wax

 Bee Dazzled (I added the baby beads after the photo)

I finished this a while back but forgot to post it.

Lollipop Table Runner:   Dinner with Abe

Here is the backing a bit plain and tame for me.

I'm working here and there on my mini one block wonder.  It is time consuming and I had to take out a hexagon and resize it and set it back in....it is resting now, and so am I. ha ha

I am so happy that fall is here in CT. 
Have a Happy Week!
