Quilt Show News

Quilt show news to report–

“Snow Buddies” which is currently showing at Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival in VA has received an Honorable Mention Award.

“Splash”, which was rejected by Quilt National,  has been juried in to the AQS show in Paducah in April.Splash_40x40_full

I spent yesterday afternoon checking it over for loose threads ends and adding it’s documentation tag and re-blocking it to get rid of the facing marks so it would be ready to go when the time comes.

Then I prepared the backing fabric for the prairie fire quilt. I am using a piece of home dec fabric which I like because it has good body and should hang well. However, it is treated to repel water, which could be problem when I try to block the finished wall hanging. I soaked it and scrubbed it in really hot water but it still may be a problem. I hope to get it layered today and maybe even start on the quilting.

The snow is really coming down and we are in for significant accumulation this time so it’s good to have a project!

    Congratulations on the HM for Snow Buddies and in the AQS acceptance of Splash. What a treat for people to get to see them in person. Looking forward to the finished Prairie Fire. I hope your snow is more beautiful than problematic for driving!

    Thanks, Martha, I have a nice start on the fire quilting.
    The snow didn’t really amount to much and is already gone. The weather man is usually wrong, which can be a good thing!
