Prairie Fest Quilt Show 2022 from Cheryl's Teapots2Quilting

Every year the Quilter's Dozen hand quilting group has a quilt show during Prairie Fest. I usually go to the quilt show just before I drive in the parade (I drive hubby's Barbershop chorus).

Some Finishes, a Gift and Getting Ready from Cheryl's Teapots2Quilting

Yipee! I finished both Harry Potter Castle quilt tops this weekend! The long arm quilter has them now. I started the blocks for these quilts back in February. I didn't get a chance to work on them over the summer, but I finally got time to get the blocks in the Castle setting this past week.
