More Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival pics

My favorite!!

Love this water scene.

Love that paper  piecing!!



I could find a place to hang this one !!



Great landscape!

So realistic!!!

 I wish I could say that I made one of the above, but I didn't. What works of art!! It was so inspiring...I am ready to start stitching!!!

New family member

Look at my newest family member!!! She'll be arriving in 2 weeks!!! I am sooo excited!!! Just  like shopping for a new baby...M bobbins, cones of quilting thread, needles and pantographs!!!! I bought 

it (her) at the Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival in Hampton, Virginia.

This is not me... but look at some of the books available.

look at the fabrics!!

There were plenty of patterns and samples to see!!

No one could say there were not plenty of hand dyed wools, Batiks, fat quarters, half yard cuts, as well as yardage to purchase. What a selection of patterns, threads and notions!!!  Numerous home, mid and long arm machines to "test drive"!!!   Mor pictures later of what I bought and pictures of quilts that were on display.

Looking for a snack???

I found this recipe for Oreo Truffles ( http://www.recipe.com/oreo-truffles/) on a Board I read...I think I will make them when I have to do guild meeting refreshments. They are super easy!

Scatty Christmas Stars blocks

I finally got the Christmas QuiltAlong blocks made. One of the yellows is the same in both blocks.  I hoped to get them completed on Monday, BUT I teach a beginners Quilting class on Monday and Tuesday at the local Community College. Next month , I will be ready as I now have the fabrics picked out.

Christmas Quilt Along Final pic

Here is the completed tabletopper. It really is square, but I did not do a good job hanging it. I like the outside border print as it is wintery and I can use it several months next winter. The pattern in the kit  showed using fall colors ...I think I will do it that way later on. It seems it would look good in any fabrics. I learned alot making it. I am going to make the stars blocks later today....if I can decide on the fabric!!!

More Christmas Quilt Along

Four paper pieced trees will be in the topper....love big pieces when paper piecing!!!  Moving along quickly!!!

Christmas Quilt Along blocks

I made 4 stars...two of each color. I love the uneven points and the braid centers.  Moving along!!!
