Pretty Flowers

I found this kit at the quilt show in Arlington last month and decided it was my splurge.  I can't wait to start it, but I've got so much to do with moving right now.

Applique Quilt Kit

When I went to the quilt show, I bought this applique quilt kit.  The best part is all the pieces are cut and on sticky paper, so they'll stay in place as I applique them!

New Applique Kit

I am thinking of taking this with me on home leave to start.  It'd all be hand done.  Not bringing a sewing machine with me.  Wouldn't it be relaxing to applique while I recover from Angola?

Four Blocks

I finally got to use my sewing machine for the first time in over a year.  This is what I made .... not great points, but I'll take them.  I hope I get to do more piecing soon.

Passacaglia Stash

I love the look of passacaglia, and I have enormous amounts of fabric.  Now I have templates and instructions.  All I need is time.

Trinity Valley Quilt Show Part Eight

This is the last of the quilts from the show.  I like the applique and the abstract in red, blue and black best.

Trinity Valley Quilt Show Part Seven

I like this star sampler, and the miniature under it is very cute.  The whitework quilt below that is absolutely gorgeous.

Trinity Valley Quilt Show Part Six

This top t-shirt quilt is very well put together and bright and colorful.  I also like the blocky quilt below it.  The quilt in neutrals is full of fabric manipulation, something I love to do.

Trinity Valley Quilt Show Part Five

This quilt on top was probably the brightest one in the show. The flower is great, too, as is the one that looks woven instead of pieced.

Trinity Valley Quilt Show Part Four

 This is a really good treatment of a t-shirt quilt.  I like it.  The sampler quilt below it is very nice too, but for some reason I've been drawn to applique lately, like the one at the bottom.

Trinity Valley Quilt Show Part THree

I love this top Baltimore album quilt.  It's huge and gorgeous.  Actually, I love all the quilts in this set.  Such inspiration, but no fabric, no cutting board, and no sewing machine.
