Guild Quilt Show

Yesterday was my quilt guild's show.  It was at the Hartsville Museum in SC and the quilts will hang all summer, so if you are close by, stop on in.  The theme this year was "A Little Color In My Life"

I entered my Lollipop Orchard quilt in the show.  I had also entered my floating pinwheels, but we had so many big quilts this year that the museum didn't have space for all the double entries so they asked us to only submit one, I picked my smaller one.


There were also a few quilts in the show that I quilted for my guild mates. 

 I quilted June's cat quilt last summer which she entered and won first place for applique.

I also quilted Tish's hand pieced Mississippi Wheel of Fortune II Quilt.

The back, which you can't see at the show was made from different shirts. I think that idea is fabulous.

I actually quilted two of these for her.
One was done in December and the other in April.
Here are both of them on on my fence.


She gave the first one away already,


and after the show this one will be given away.


There were only two special ladies who got to hang two quilts in the show.
They have been long time guild members and definitely deserved it.  
Sara is one of those ladies and I had the privilege of quilting both her quilts.
She named this one "Check the Box"



The quilting shows up great on the back of the quilt


This one she named "Wear Purple"



I also quilted one of Joan's quilts. Unfortunately it didn't get in the show either due to the 1 quilt limit.
She chose to show her smaller one like I did, but I would like to show her large quilt here anyway.
It is a lovely blossoming 4 patch done in beautiful fabrics.


There were lots of wonderful quilts at the show.  I am honored to have been able to work on these.

  1. There is something about Joan's quilt that I just really like. It's as if the colors slowly blend into each other.
