More Quilt Show Pics

Picking up from my first post on some of the pictures at our quilt show HERE, I've a few more to show you.

The first one is especially for my friend, Barb at 3 Cat Ranch.  She did this pattern with an added kitty in each block.

This was an A-team challenge, (A=applique).  We were to use a particular piece of yellow fabric and Judy used the yellow in the tails and face of the fish.  This was such a cute quilt. It had applique, pieced background and great quilting.  

Another project of the A-Team was to make children's quilts with pages from coloring books.  We each chose 1 or 2 pages and made blocks.  Then we had a sew day to piece them all together into tops. We made 7 or 8 and volunteers quilted, bound and labeled them.  This was one setting that we used and it was given to a charity for their fund raising event. Most of the applique was hand stitched, so we thought it a good fit for making more $$ for the charity than just a donation quilt to one child.

Another beautiful example of piecing.

Another group that  participate in is called Cover Our Kids and More (QOV). This was our display showing some of our quilts going to many different organizations around the St. Louis and St. Charles area.  The Marine Stack 'n Whack on the stand is one that I did.  That is folded in half to fit the stand, but really is sized for a veteran.

Can you see those little blocks that are above the curtains sitting in the bleachers?  Well, those are actually 4 ft. squares of barn quilts.  We had a quest speaker who gave a class on making the wood barn quilt blocks and we used this area to dress of the bleachers.

There are more, but I'm late to an appointment now, so I'll get back to this at a later time. 

  

OTN - Fri. March 18

On my way to the toes!!  Haven't made much progress on this pair of socks.  I'm still on the first sock, but now it should go faster.

I've been preparing for our big quilt show this weekend, and today is set up time.  So off I go to help hang 400 quilts for our grand opening on Saturday and Sunday, March 19 & 20.  If you are in the St. Louis area, stop by and see all the wonderful quilts, vendors, demonstrations on new techniques, antique bed turning, door prizes and lots of inspiration.  We are at Queeny Park in Ballwin, MO.  It's easy to find, just a little west of I-270 off of Manchester Road. Here's the link for Fanfare of Quilts 2016.
