Good Morning Quilters!

This week has been semi-productive, so I haven't much to show you. Plenty to tell you though.

Remember back in the spring, when I showed you the start of a first quilt a friend of mine worked on while at my house? I blogged about Elise (Here) She has since moved from Grand Rapids to Muskegon, and I haven't seen her for a while. But here is the picture and text that I received from Elise today:

"Finally done! Finished the binding by hand last night. Wanted to say thank you so, so much for ...

Good Morning Quilters!

Labor Day is celebrated in America to honor the workers who built America. As quilters, our labors of love are to be celebrated too. So Happy Labor Day to you!

While at the AQS Quilt Sow in Grand Rapids recently, I saw many beautiful quilts. I thought I’d share another one with you today. Karen Kay Buckley made this one:

It won a second place ribbon. I liked all the colors used and the overall design. Here are some closeup pictures to show you the quilting in the darker border that was wonderful:

Good Morning Quilters!

Today I am going to brag about a good friend, Joan Brink, who just won one of the big prizes at the 2024 AQS Grand Rapids Quilt Show.

Joan appliquéd this beautiful Baltimore Album quilt. I am so happy for her and that her quilt got recognized. She did such a beautiful job and as you can see, it was a lot if work.

My progress has been minimal this week, but I did take some pictures of some other quilts at the AQS show, which I will show you next Monday.

What are you up to ...

Good Morning Quilters!

The AQS Quilt Show was last week in Grand Rapids. I entered my Cheddar Baskets quilt and here is a picture if me beside my quilt. Sue Daurio’s machine quilting made it special and I thought others would enjoy seeing’s it.

My favorite part of the quilt show was a special exhibit if vintage quilts. It was a quilt collection of Sue Reich, representing 150 years of Quilting Blues, ranging from 1825 to 1976.

Here are somw of my favorites:

Good Morning Quilters!

As I’ve said before, one of my life goals is to stay “whelmed”…….not underwhelmed and not overwhelmed. Last week, I was feeling overwhelmed, and so I have no pictures of my design wall. I did take a baby quilt to a baby shower, and here is a picture of the final binding progress on it (bound the day before the shower):

Instead, I have more pictures from the AQS Quilt Show held in Grand Rapids, MI recently. These are just three of the many, many beautiful quilts that caught my eye.

And who thinks of ...

Good Morning Quilters!

I went to the AQS Quilt Show in downtown Grand Rapids on Thursday. Such beautiful quilts, with amazing workmanship. I’d like to talk about just one of the quilts that I saw. It is named “Monkeys in My Hair (Evie)” and is by Deborah Hyde.

This quilt won “Best Wall Quilt” in this show, and has won several awards in other shows too. I read more on the internet about Deb Hyde when I got back home, and thought you’d like to learn more too.

She has a technique of using one inch squares of ...
