Finishing Number 14!

Judy:  Finished this today, #14 in the Improvisational Quilt Series, called 'Sundown'.  It's 44x60 inches.


And #15 is already up on the design wall.  It's called 'What About the Parrot?'

Also, for our quilt show/sale down here this weekend, I've made almost a dozen flower pins.  They're pretty cute.  They're each about 5 inches across with free motion quilted centers.

Quilt Show

My Point Roberts Quilt Group is having a quilt show on Saturday, September 3, 10-2.  The only place to have a quilt show here is the Community Center, which has two rooms and a hallway where we can hang quilts.  Although those rooms are already kind of filled up with furniture of one sort or another.  So it's something of a challenge.

It's hard to know whether we will have too many quilts or not enough quilts when you have a small space but have only 14 or so members, not all of whom quilt.  And we will have a little sale of quilted goods as well.  Fortunately, I have these 14 quilts of the 'Improvised Quilt" series to use as the backbone, so we can use all of them or fewer of them if that is necessary.  But it still makes for a nervous approach to the show.

I've been making flower pins for the sale part and some of the other members will do quilted baskets, and there will be purses, pillowcases, covered books, and all that stuff.  Wish us well!
