SPRING FLING AND QUILT SHOW PICTURES

I completed the "Spring Fling" quilt top earlier this afternoon.  An easy applique project and it went quickly.  All the fabric used was from stash.  The pattern I used is by Jan Patek.

Two close-up pictures of the quilt top.

I discovered that I need to make one small block before I can complete sewing "Millennium Garden" together.  The block is not mentioned in any of the pattern pamphlets though the leaf shape to be used is in one of the them.  Just no measurements for the background nor mention of making the block.

I attended a local quilt show with two friends this past Saturday.  It was difficult to take pictures.  Too many people and not enough room to back up and get a whole quilt in the camera viewer.  So, I will share the ones that caught my attention and that I was able to get a picture of.

This quilt was made by my friend Susan.  It is called "Mummy, Mummy How Does Your Garden Grow".  She combined a Sue Spargo pattern with a Halloween pattern.  She fussy cut designs from fabric and made faces on the flowers, eyeballs, etc.  Click on the picture for a close-up view.

I thought I would be able to get the maker's name from the quilt show booklet but I can't find this one in the book.  A long time ago, I made some of the blocks from this pattern but never made the whole quilt.  I still have the blocks but no longer have the pattern.

My friend Susan also made this quilt.  It is "Millennium Garden".  The same pattern I am working on.  She used the fabrics from the original pattern, so it is done in different colors than mine.

I wish I could have gotten the whole quilt in the picture.  These are blocks from "Civil War Love Letters".  I think this one deserved a ribbon but had none.  The piecing was very well done.

The squares are teeny tiny in this red and white quilt.  Very well done.

Another red and white quilt.  This one has redwork embroidery.

The last picture is the chicken quilt.  An interesting concept in that it is embellished with something for the feathers.

I heading back to the sewing room.  I hope you enjoyed your visit.
