Home from Jacksonville

I had the awesome opportunity to go to the Jacksonville "Seven Sisters" quilt show last week. I tagged along with Karen and Sharen from Happy Apple Quilts

We drove up on Tuesday, set-up on Wednesday, and got to visit with a lot of quilters on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Note to self: working for vendors at a quilt show is A LOT of work - but I sure had fun and some GREAT company - thank you ladies for allowing me to be the 3rd wheel on your trip to Jax!

Nan Moore was signing her book "Machine Freehand Patterns" at the Sew and Quilt Shop and I had a chance to run over there and scoop up a copy! Nan signed extra's so you can get them online through the link above.

Kelly (the manager) was kind enough to snap a photo of Nan and I (that's me in the apron). Thank you Kelly for EVERYTHING!! ~grin~

There were so many GREAT vendors!! I visited The Pin Peddlers every day of the show and took advantage of their "show special". They have a huge selection of pins - check them out at PinPeddlers Tommy and Audrey were so nice. Besides pins, I also bought a pattern from them for a "Show Pin Quilt" - it is adorable!!

Karen and Sharen headed up to Virginia for another show and I headed to Georgia to see my grandbaby, Brooke (and her mom, Stefi, too). Stay tuned for new photos of the Brooke-meister!

X-Block without borders

"Some" of my friends have been drooling over this top, but I'm having a hard time deciding on the border(s)... If you can picture the triangles cut from the 9-patches, they are supposed to be pieced to each other for the border - we'll see...

Done, done....

That's what you call a quilt that is quilted, has binding on it AND a label!! This one is done, done!! I decided to make a very special label too..

I sure am enjoying sharing my quilting with everyone - hope you are enjoying it too!

Hugs,
Barb
