What happened to Spring??

I woke up feeling cold this morning. What wacky weather everyone seems to be having. I couldn’t believe I pulled a long sleeve shirt over my head this morning and still have it on this afternoon. I thought summer was imminent but I guess we have a few more days of cool weather. 

Our local quilt guild had its bi-annual show this past weekend. As a member of the committee, I’m happy to have the event be finished. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and spending time with a few special friends.  On Saturday I did a bed turning (basically a Show and Tell of my quilts and telling their stories). It was really interesting to see the progress of my quilting journey and how eclectic my taste is. I like a little bit of everything – civil war, brights, batiks, and I’m starting to enjoy the “modern quilts”. I bought some fabric up in North Carolina a couple of weeks ago and designed a quilt to use it. I’ve started it and am thinking I may chart a design to go with it. I’ve been thinking of turning a piece or two of mine into a quilt for a long time and think I may have decided to finally do it!

I entered three quilts and was thrilled to get a ribbon on two of them, especially as one of them was a “Judge’s Choice” ribbon – there were five awarded and mine was for “Scrap Quilt” and the abundance of fabrics! I was thrilled when I walked around the corner and saw the different colored ribbon! Whether it’s quilting or stitching, I like lots and lots of color and pattern!
