I'm home! What a trip!
I'm so in awe of where we just were, I have no words to share right now... just look.
More on that later...
I'm happy to be home.
We all ran down to the Empire Guild show...
EEEK! I was thrilled, I have a Judges choice ribbon and
a second place for machine quilting ribbon on "THE STAR SPLITTER"quilt.
(It really paid off learning those blasted feathers!)
This is the group quilt I entered for the show.
It is from a photo I took (below), and four of us each took a section
to do our own thing to make one statement. We wanted 4 complete different looks to make one unit.
And lastly, my little NYC landmarks quilts, named "Beauty points" (left quilt, black red blue)
Iran into Helen sporting her V-string Vest!
(stop by her blog and say hi... the name stuck! Helen no blog!)
And pal Andrea with her Roses Quilt and a ribbon for best use of color!
Thsi si the quilt that brought the two of together as friends... Her color sense is fantastic.
Remember her other piece she was making at the retreat? scraps from this quilt. Beautiful!
Off to see some more Quilt pals tomorrow, and red and white show Monday...
only so many CROWDS I can take in one day!
later gators, I'm exhausted...
So nice to be home!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your ribbon win. That really is an incredibly beautiful quilt. I saw the group quilt on Pat Sloan's blog - it's wonderful too! And I absolutely love Andrea's quilt.
