I won again!

Can you believe, I won the second place in the 'Whole Cloth' category then turned around and won the RAFFLE quilt. Isn't it gorgeous! I don't know the name of the designer but, will post it as soon as I can get it. The quilter was Rosemary Cushman, she did a beautiful job. Several from the group did the piecing and applique. I am so blessed to have won it! I am absolutely thrilled!!!!








Below is the 'Whole Cloth' I won the 2nd on:


So, it's back to my quilting and that's a happy dance you can't see me doing...
Gotta say, I'm a happy little camper!

Blessings! and Happy quilting!

I won, I won, I won! Get to bring one of those ribbons home with me! I'm just thrilled, the competition was amazing, terrific and a bit intimidating, just gorgeous, gorgeous quilting. I feel very fortunate to have won anything but, the comments I got were so encouraging. Things like: "exquisite", "looks like it was computer quilted", "you've arrived" awesome remarks from ones peers. Thank you, ladies!

I thought my 'Tweet' might have won something as I think it's my best work to date but, like I said the competition was stiff... I ended up winning a second on my 'whole cloth', pictured below (this picture is from a different show). I'll try to get a few more pictures from the actual show and post them later this week. We have more show tomorrow then 'take down' and clean up. I have a grandson that needs a birthday cake Sunday and a contractor is coming in Monday morning. What I really need to do is get back to quilting. I've decided that's where my heart is 90% of the time.




Happy quilting to all!

Well, the ribbons are done and you have to know they were lots, and lots and lots of work! Can't say I'm sorry they are finished. The mini ribbons haven't been completed but, have a day or so to finish them. They were fun to make but, I'd rather be quilting.

Tomorrow, it's off to Clemmons for rest of the week, judging and setting up, Friday and Saturday are Quilt Show. Fortunately, my DH is taking time off to be with 'baby girl', she so hates it when mom's gone. Hope any of you in the area can make the show. It's where the pros face off in a challenge and showing off their long arm abilities. Lot of fun and hope I'm fortunate enough to bring one of these ribbons back home with me.





CAROLINA LONGARM ASSOCIATION QUILT SHOW in Clemmons, NC at the New Hope Presbyterian Church at 2570 Harper Rd, Clemmons, NC . September 17 - 18, 2010 9:00am - 5pm.

Busy two weeks...

The next couple weeks are going to be busy, busy, busy! The Carolina Longarm Quilt Show will be next week the 17th & 18th of September. Drop off of quilts is this Wednesday and then cram to finish ribbons for the show. Lot's of mileage since, I have to drop off quilts in Mocksville (about 70 miles away) and then back to Clemmons for the show preparations and show (about 62 miles away).

I did get 'Tweet' done. I mentioned it a few weeks ago. It's probably the best I've done so far, especially with the heavy free-hand quilting.







Hope you all mark your calendar and can make the show. There might be CD's of the show available, after the show, I'll have to check on that. That would be really great for those who live too far away to make the show.

Have a great week!

Susan has quilt so, I can share now...

Susan and Jessica picked up their quilt last week so, I wanted to share a couple pictures with you. It turned out great and I told Susan, I felt like every quilt I do now is better than those that have come before. :^) Thank goodness! Jessica picked out the fabric, her grandmother pieced the blocks, Susan put the top together and I quilted it. Gotta say it was a joint effort. Very nice girls!


We have a deer that's been coming around lately and over the weekend she brought her fawn. I'm going to try to get a picture. If I can, I'll share it later.

Mary from "Quilt Hollow' and Bonnie from 'Quiltville' came over, Thursday the 5th and we spent the day just talking and sewing. Bonnie got the most done! If you've ever taken one of Bonnie's classes you know she's very prolific. Had a great time with them. Bonnie gave the program for our quilt guild that evening, then a workshop on Friday.

Had to drive to Raleigh, Saturday, for a Carolina Longarm Assoc. meeting. It's crunch time and we needed to discuss the upcoming quilt show in Sept. Got a lot accomplished, then I was on to 'Wish Upon A Quilt' to return a lamp that didn't work. Thanks Kathy for making it right. Then on to 'Plain & Simple' in Apex. Oh... I shouldn't go there! I love their fabrics and just want some of just about everything. Like I need another scrap of fabric.

The CLA show will be Sept. 17th & 18th, 2010 in Clemmons at the New Hope Presbyterian Church, 2570 Harper Rd., Clemmons, NC (9am - 5pm, both days.)

Hope your days are joyous and full of sewing those quilts!

Another one done...

Wow,is it hot or what? I stayed in and stayed cool and got Susan's quilt done. She hasn't seen it, yet so I will only show you a spot of it.
