Here are some views from my backyard this week.
I love the new snow on the branches and leaves.
I still have more photos of quilts from the International Quilt Association show in Houston to share with you.
This called is called “Eieio” and was made by Nancy Brown from Oakland, CA. I honestly do not think I have ever seen a quilt made by Nancy that I did not think was adorable. Her quilts always make me smile. This quilt won an honorable mention in the Art- Pictorial category.
This quilt was made by Roxanne Nelson from Calgary, Canada. The name of her quilt is “Ruffled Feathers”. Roxanne used raw edge applique and machine quilting and if you ask me the best choices of fabric of any quilt in the show. Awesome work Roxanne. I love this quilt.
“Port of Cassis” made by Lenore Crawford of Midland, Michigan won 2nd place in the Art-Pictorial category. Fabulous colors and fantastic reflection. You can find out more about Lenore on her website, www.lenorecrawford.com/
This lovely quilt was made by Susan Cleveland. Susan won 3rd place in the Mixed Techniques category. Some of you may know Susan for her great tool, the Piping Hot Binding tool, which I love and use often. You can find out more about Susan and her binding tools at www.piecesbewithyou.com
The end of this week I am off to King of Prussia, PA to teach at Steve’s Sewing Vacuum and Quilting. I understand they have moved to a new location with a much bigger classroom and more store space. I can hardly wait to check it out. I’ll fill you in on the next blog.
