Oh Spring ....

Oh MY, I just lost my post! Guess I will start again.

Loving this spring weather. The birds are chirping away as i write. Love it!

Enjoyed the QA Quilt  show this past weekend with my friend. What wonderful work those ladies do on the quilts and so great that we get to enjoy their craft with them.
I had such a great time that I went out again on Sunday and looked at all the quilts. I meet the featured artist and took a few photos of her beautiful quilts. One that caught my eye was "Black Dog".It had won a blue ribbon but that wasn't what made me stop and look. I just lost my beautiful Lab mix two weeks before and the quilt could have been him in his younger years. But then most labs have that special look about them!
Another one was made of men's ties in a swirling kaleidoscope pattern. Spectacular! Then the beautiful embroidery done by a 86 year old mom with a outside border embroidered by the daughter. Just beautiful. Oh and the log cabin in 1 inch strips that end up to be 1/2 inch!!! And my all time favorites are the Double Wedding rings. Their were several variations but i gravitate to the simple rings in the soft colors of the thirties.

till next time
Happy Sewing
Linda
