How fast can a week fly by?
I'd like to slow it down a bit!
I tell you, we filled every day of the past week full with quilting, porch time, hikes and more.
And it still flew by too fast. Once a year is not enough to see these ladies!
Our Illinois Contingency left last night to get a jump start on their long drive home. The remainder will be heading south to North Augusta, SC this morning.
Great show of quilts, ladies!
The two somewhat matching quilts with different settings at the far right were made by Betsy & Paula.
I love seeing enduring friendships!
The back sides of this joint project!
I love this group of women - these are the ladies who were here when the tree swing fell leaving me with a broken nose and a broken foot 2 years ago. And it's been enough time that we can now laugh about it.
But the nurses in the bunch were there for me when I needed them - and I'll never forget it.
I don't have any info on any of these quilts, but if you know, please leave the details in the comments section below.
I'll carry these smiles in my heart - and see them again next July!
See the Mondo Bag? Here's a close up:
As I said - there was MUCH bag making going on this week!
So cute - check out the quilting!
Two kid quilt tops ready for quilting!

Let's get this day going!
The middle quilt of the three that were unknown is Stained Glass Quilt, a free pattern on Freespirits website using Tula Pink fabrics.
ReplyDeleteYour mom's hexie quilt is AMAZING! What a treasure, and what a labor of love. I enjoyed seeing some of the fabrics in the close-up shots.
ReplyDeleteI like that Radicchio pattern, too. It's been on my "buy next" list for a while.
Do you (or any readers who see this comment) have any tips for quilting an EPP quilt on the longarm? Anything that you have to do differently than a machine pieced patchwork quilt? Any pitfalls to avoid? I'll be ready to longarm my first finished EPP project very soon (hand-guided, not computer) and I'm a little intimidated.
I love that quilting design. It goes perfect with the hexies. Gorgeous quilts by the Peaceful Hearts. The bag quilting was fantastic. I love the quilting/sewing motif. Dianne
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful quilts and bags!

I'll be working on indigo Way block B today. In the cool basement.
With my music and scented candle.
Bliss.
Have a Sparkling day 💕

ReplyDeleteI love the porch rail photos! I always enjoy seeing the different styles. The bags were too cute! Also, your mom's quilt is fabulous! What a great way to collaborate talents. I am excited for the new pattern coming out! Today we are cooking for my oldest daughter before she heads back home tomorrow, & I am putting another small Happy scrappy top together to quilt this week. Happy quilting!
