Yesterday was the 4th Saturday of March of the color red. I didn't create any more red projects but I did go to the Crazy Quilters Quilt Show in Mukwonago, Wisconsin and was on the lookout for red quilts! I was lucky to 'find' my Quilting Buddy and had a wonderful time wandering the show...just like old times, friend! :)
Here are a few of the quilts but I didn't take a picture of the makers...
One of the members of the Crazy Quilters, Carol Pilgrim gave a talk/bed turning that were patriotic quilts from her vast collection of quilts (both vintage and new-er!). Here are just two that I thought about re-creating.
Of course, I can never pass up an opportunity to write a message to our Veterans. I really am inspired by the way this group pieced the signature squares and stars around a panel. It's the un-expected ways to 'use what I have' that really help me in my quilting journey.
I did take Miss Angie on a big brain activity Friday. She's so much happier when she can think. :) Who would have thought she would like getting an oil change, some new sniffs and a stop at the gas station?!
Sharing today with SoScrappy Saturday.
Looks like lots of inspiration at the quilt show. That veteran quilt is a beauty! Did it get your creative juices flowing? Angie is a pretty dog - hope you're enjoying your time with her!
ReplyDeleteIt's always exciting going to a quilt show, and seeing all the wonderful quilts. The Quilt of Honour on display is so stunning.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a quilt show to stir up the brainy ideas!
