Back From California and The Pacific International Quilt Fest

I did take a few pics and I might have to spread them out a bit.  I have never been to California   or the quilt fest before, but I  enjoyed my short stay and had a wonderful learning experience!  My traveling companion was a very patient and able teacher . She was quite remarkable and talented in handling every situation that came up. Her name is Dorothy and she treated me to quite an experience!
Five or six lanes of traffic and mountains in the distantce of silicone valley!

Palm trees and manicured gardens everywhere.
Surfs up! Waves at least six feet up  along the bay near San Francisco.

There was a guy out there wind surfing, 
Golden Gate Bridge

Quite a beautiful bridge!

Onward!

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.

Daughter Called

Image
My daughter called and asked if I would make her a couple of quilts! Of course I said yes, I love sharing my quilting with her. She  found a block she liked on pinterest in black,greys and white. I drew out my pattern on graph and began piecing until I got this.... and I found the most perfect soft snuggle backing.... So I now just have to take it to the quilter! I have also put up a small Christmas tree in the living room. I finished a small churn dash quilt of Fig Tree fabrics that I started at retreat in the beginning of November. I also finished my candle in the window log cabin quilt.... I started a few circle  blocks. I am going to use various blue backgrounds with my Kaffe and Tula scraps. All for now,chatter later, Martha.
