Do you think I would ever get this finished?

 I don't, that's why I am making pillows! I went to the Harrison Co. Fair yesterday to see their bed turning. Lots and lots of gorgeous quilts, some old, and some newer. Since I have been working on the Cathedral Windows blocks, I was especially interested in this one. It was hand sewn the traditional way. It was so pretty and somewhat worn, which made it even prettier.

I didn't take my camera, so asked a friend to take these pictures. I think it would be fun to make this version of the Dresden Plate. I have made the block with the curved edges, and the pointed edges, but never this version with both. The Dresden Plate is one of those traditional patterns that I never get tired of. I think partly because of the scrappiness. What is your favorite traditional pattern?

I had a great time with friends at the fair, and really enjoyed the show.

Today is my family reunion with my dad's side of the family in my hometown, Earling, IA. I always enjoy going because I get to see family that I don't see much otherwise. I will be takinig lots of pictures!

Quilt Show

We had a busy weekend getting ready for and holding the Bluffs Art Council sponsored Quilt Show. Here is a very large yoyo quilt. We used it on the bed turning.

 We had a full house for the panel discussion With Riki Saltzman.

 We don't have official quilt hangers, so used chairs on tables to display the quilts, as well as quilt stands.

 Lots of people enjoyed looking at all the quilts.

 Here is my Lone Star Quilt, displayed on a table. We stacked the bed turning quilts on top of it during the show.

The bed turning bed, ready to go. Everyone loved that part of the show.

Here is one antique quilt in the bed turning using the Winding Ways block.
We had a great time and the audience seemed to enjoy it. I will post more pix later in the week.

I'm off to quilt with friends today. Should be fun!
