Welcome to my new blog space. I am a quilter and hope to share with you some of my quilting experiences. First of all, I am going to Houston for the IQA show. My quilt won an honorable mention and, because of that, I get to be a small part of the bigger winner's circle! How could I miss that. It will be a quick trip since I already had some plans for that same week, but my husband and I will be driving like mad to get there.
Here is my quilt: A Time for Lime. It is a combination of applique and piecing, using Sue Garman's patterns for the applique and a feathered star as the counterpoint. I used Kaffe fabrics for the applique and offset those brilliant colors with a great red civil war repro as the background and some lime greens to make it sparkle.
I have several other projects in the works and will follow up soon with those pictures. One of the things I will need to keep you updated on is our mini group projects. When we meet, we set up a challenge to be completed by the next time we meet. More on that later...
