Slow But New Photo's

I have been kind of slow with making any posts. Sorry about that. Welcome and thanks for coming by today . Here is a quilt I received from my August swap partner in the doll quilters monthly swaps. I got one mine from Trish Hurley it is pretty sunflowers and a cute kitty in the corner smelling the flower. She put some time and work  in it. I sent her a sunflower type as well. Mine was Dresden plate flowers I will show you the I got first and then show you what i made for her . I enjoy this swapping. It gives me a lot of joy and I can do different things each month!

 

Pictures in Paper

My grandkids are very good soccer players. The oldest one at home has been chosen athelete of the week . He scored 5 goals for his team and one was  what they call a hat trick! The other grandson Solomon was in the other paper and they had ask him what Labor day meant ? Then on the school pages all three kids were pictured with their soccer teams. Ally is out for now with a chin injury. I am proud of them all. I will get it posted Solomon is funny. Have a good one  

Quilt Show

I have been lax on posting as of late, so here is the latest news for me.
We had our bi-annual quilt show this weekend it ended today. I was to work each day but was extremely tired and did not so I did not know if my quilts had any  merit  for sure. I thought they might  Well to my surprise I had entered 8 items. Six of them received ribbons. I am so thrilled.I was very surprised  to have that many.  I received two first place ribbons and 4 second place ribbons.
I am so thrilled. Been a long time since entered anything. So this is a boost for sure  Thanks to all the pattern designers!
 I think it is wonderful!! Thanks to my long arm quilters for a great job too. The Pumpkins was quilted by Roma Wimberley of Weaverville NC  everyone loves it!!!  The Swirl Tree was quilted by Amy Bouchard of Miami Valley. Sarah Bistline quilted the checkered cherries. I got a blue ribbon on my pumpkin quilts that was a pattern by Thimbleberries. I also got a blue ribbon on my Swirl Tree from Frivolous Necessity pattern.
