Again, I have to apologize for being so slack when it comes to blogging. You have heard the excuses before, so I won't belabor them again.
Last weekend was the quilt show for a guild that I am a member of (and am not on the board). The show was a huge success and was held in McMinnville, OR (we meet in Dayton, OR). I will show some of my favorite quilts from this show now.

A 91 year old quilter made this. Such a sweet lady! I had met her and her daughter during my morning walks and then they joined the same guild I am in. |

I think this one was one of the most impressive quilts and I took a picture of the info sheet - I hope you can read it. |

When a new neighbor moved in across the street, I was delighted to find out she was a quilter and she joined this guild also, so we take turns driving. This is a |

This one was made by a friend in my other guild and I really like it. It looks like a simple design and the 9-patches and squares are easy to make, but to get them all in the right spot isn't so easy. I want to make something similar some day. |
The following is a little item I made for my granddaughter - who loves to sew. I got the alphabet designs from Elefantz Embroidery (on Etsy). She has tons of lovely embroidery patterns and I have made some of them before. This little cushion/pin cushion measures about 5" x 7" and it has a pocket. The tatting was added because Angela loves tatting (as I do) and I had bought some at a garage sale. I cut off some to put on top of the black and used fray check on the ends, then I sewed the tatting on by just catching the top circles with thread.
I will be a vendor this weekend at the Yamhill County Fairgrounds in McMinnville, OR and have several red, white and blue patriotic items to sell: table runners, throw pillow covers and wall hangings.
Thanks for visiting and have a very happy Independence celebration!!
