Julianne's quilt and other MQS pix...

This is the quilt that Julianne of Julianne's Place sent in as part of an exhibit to show how the same quilt can be quilted many ways. This picture doesn't do the quilting justice, take it from me, it was beautiful. That's Denise playing Vanna!
Here are my friends Cindy, Denise & Dianne leaving with bags full of pretties. We really did have a great time!
Mama Kitty is enjoying these Asian prints I found, as well as the new pattern. I thought the pattern would be paper pieced, but it isn't. I am anxious to try it out, but have another quilt to make first....
These were my best bargain...10 fats for $11.00. I love the little girls and stuff on these fabrics. Don't know what I will do with it, but who cares it's so cute! I also got a couple of new pantographs, which I forgot to take a picture of....but will soon!

Yesterday I worked on a pattern and planted flowers. It was almost a perfect day, about 70 outside.

Hop on over to Christine's blog Once Upon a Quilt...she is having a giveaway for her 100th post!

Quilt show fun...I got to meet Judi!

Since we are working gals, we could only go to Saturday's show. So we headed out about 6AM for KC, which is a three hour drive for us. We got there and started up and down the many aisles of goodies...it wasn't long before I met Judi of Judi's Crazy World. She was there selling some of her beautiful hand dyed fabrics. I have been curious about hand dyeing and have been watching her adventures with snow dyeing, pole dyeing and other types of dyeing she has tried. So it was fun to meet her and her husband.
Of course I couldn't walk away from her booth without a few of those pretty fabrics. The blue, orangey pink and mottled green are snow dyed and the other 2 are hand dyed. I love the variation of color in the show dyed fabrics and could've walked out with one of each color...
There were so many beautiful quilts there, I could only stand in awe. This one was one of the theme category winners. The theme was Fire and Ice...there was so much intricate quilting on this quilt...unfortunately it doesn't really show up in the photo well, though you can click on the pic to make if larger and see it better. I can only dream of quilting like this.

The quilting overall was fantastic on the many beautiful quilts and I took several pictures. I wanted to take more, but my memory card was being stubborn & would only store a few....do they wear out? I will post more pics later.
