sew what's new?

On St. Patrick's day I went to " Colorz For Quilts "  quilt shop to see the " Wicked " book signing by Cherrywood . They also had some of the designers of the small wicked quilts there too, to autograph pics of their quilts. There were plenty of refreshments there also. Some Wicked jewelery, both a necklace and earrings! Some of the quilts are hanging, the rest are on tour in the U.S. This is Cherrywood owner Karla Overland speaking with Carol Wilson one of the designers in the book. Hers is the last one in the book.   Hope you got there to get your book and get it autographed! I have prepped my last block of Wooly Critter Sampler ! Now I just need to stitch it down! As you can see I have gotten a little more accomplished on my "Cloud Nine" small quilt by Kim Diehl.  I will save a little more news for later, Martha.

     I WENT TO MY CIVIL WAR CLUB MEETING AT COLORZ  FOR QUILTS   ;THEY CALL IT  PRAIRIE WOMEN  AND IS WRITTEN BY PAM BUDA.   SHE ALSO WRITES A BLOG CALLED HEARTSPUN QUILTS ,WHICH I ALSO ENJOY IMMENSELY.     THERE WERE  MANY LOVELY AND GRACIOUS LADIES THERE WHO BROUGHT MANY QUILTS TO SHARE. MANY OF THE QUILTS WERE FROM PATTERNS FROM THE PROGRAM BY PAM BUDA AND SOME WERE QUILTS OF THEIR OWN DESIGN. THIS IS MY TOP ,  FROM ONE OF THE PROGRAM PATTERNS. I MADE IT MY OWN BY CHANGING COLOR PLACEMENT AND TURNING ONE OF THE PIECES A DIFFERENT WAY .  BUT STILL CUTE IN ITS OWN WAY.  I HAVE NOT QUILTED IT YET BUT HOPE TO HAND QUILT IT ; AND AS I AM JUST STARTING HAND QUILTING , I LIKE TO PICK SMALL THINGS.  IT IS APPROXIMATELY 25"  X  31".                          ...
