I have framed my recent #quilting inspired studies and will be showing them at the upcoming @peakdistrictartisans #SpringArtFair 12/13 April. They were all supposed to be the same size but unfortunately I picked up two different sizes of Aida fabric for them so the blue one is a bit bigger You live and learn!

There've been a lot of articles about the Gee's Bend Airing of the Quilts exhibit lately, but I like how this one focuses on letting a single quilter, Mary Lee Bendolph, speak
This is the first time I’ve used a log cabin pattern. I saw this particular pattern in an issue of QuiltMaker from my mom’s stash. It was made with holiday colors but I wanted something for every day. I love how easy this was and how it turned out. I downsized it from 70in x 85in to 48in x 58in
I’m calling it Wrapped Up because I think it looks like a prettily wrapped present
Me explaining why I’m a booster of hand-quilting even though I do not myself make quilts: “Well, my mom and sister are quilters, and my late grandma on Mom’s side, and I was in a youth quilt guild growing up.
“But I mean, I know HOW to quilt. I can contribute if there’s a quilt in a large frame for group quilting. There are a few stitches of mine in plenty of my family’s quilts….
“I’m a social quilter!”

There was a wild storm last night- momentous lightning, ground-shaking thunder, hard rain- that caught houses on fire & blew out windows. Yet today, it's as if nothing at all occurred, just sedate calm all around. Storms be that way.

Hello everyone,
What hand stitches (other than blanket) can you recommend for finishing raw edge applique? #quilting #embroidery Thank you!
Moved on from practice pieces to trying a ‘round the world’ quilt - hand pieced and each finished square 1cm. Here’s my colour swatch. I think it will work ok. #No52 #Miniatures #DollsHouse #quilting @quilting
