Last Friday (already a week ago?) I went to a quilt show held by a large guild and was not disappointed at all. There were so many wonderful quilts that I can't possibly show you all the ones that were amazing, but here are most of the ones I liked best.
This is the one I would have voted as my favorite (if I hadn't forgotten to put the vote in the box).
These next 2 quilts were displayed as quilts that were in prior shows.
This is a table runner and if you look closely you can see the quilting depicts smoke coming out of the chiminys.
Don't you just love going to quilt shows? The beauty is so uplifting and just makes one want to keep quilting, doesn't it? I think I need to slow down my quilting for a while so I can work on my family history, which I have been trying to do but I keep having things to sew.
I have been planting a lot of flowers around my house. Last year I tried growing flowers from seed and I have given up on that. So this year I'm buying plants already blooming. My first ever poppy is blooming! My walking friend and I had loved some poppies that we walked past a couple years ago. We took some seeds and planted them. This year one of her seeds sprouted! But I haven't seen any poppies come up from the seeds I planted. Ugh. This is 2 views of the one I purchased. There is another bud coming soon.
Thanks for visiting!
