Bloggers Quilt Festival

Have you heard about the Quilt Festival? Amy at Park City Girl has set it up~ and she has loads of links to quilting bloggers~ and lots of wonderful quilts to see! Grab your mug/cup/can and head over for the show! :-)

As for me~ I had such a time deciding what to enter! I chose 'Autumn Waves'. It is a recent finish and a favorite because my girlfriend who lives about 1800 miles away and I made this quilt together despite being so far apart. We chose the theme of ' autumn' and each of us made 44 pairs of blocks using our stashes and maybe a few additions. ;-) Then we swapped our duplicate blocks. I really enjoyed putting this quilt together because my blog readers chimed in when I showed different layouts, and different fabrics for the borders, so it was like quilters all over the world helped me to make my quilt! I met so many of y'all through the making of this quilt! It was fun! :-)) ...and I ended up with a great quilt full of memories. :-) Thanks everyone! :-)

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

Design Wall Monday~

Today's design wall is...

..the bed!! :-) That's right 'Autumn Waves' (formerly called Ocean Waves ;-) ) is finished! It was the binding to this quilt that you saw in my previous post. It sports plenty of quilt for a pillow tuck, I just took the pillows off for the photo's. ;-) I quilted it in an allover leaf panto in variegated green thread. I didn't want anything competing with the autumn fabrics in the blocks.

If you'd like to see what others are working on, check out Mr Linky on Judy L's blog.


In other news, I have been drooling over the Vintage Sheet quilts on Elizabeth, of 'Oh, Fransson!'s blog~ just look at this cutie~ and the Clothesline Quilt on the left.
And check out the quilt in her header! I just love them all! :-) I asked her permission to show you her Vintage Sheet quilts and she asked me to remind you that her sheet swap was over a year ago and she has no plans to have another. In my next post I'll show you some of the sheets I have collected. And I am having a sheet swap~ if you are interested leave a comment and I'll email you the specifics. ;-)

Have a happy day and until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!
