My Quilts

I entered a few things into my local guild show. That was held this weekend. We have a show every 2 years. This was our first show in the new location and the feed back was great.I think they said we had over 300 items in the show  and on display I put in  3 different type bags, and a small quilt , plus 3 medium size quilts.  I did get awarded some ribbons. Here are a few pictures of the items I had entered.  I will try to put the name of the pattern I used and who made the pattern.
first up my Strawberry Social, by The Pattern Basket co. so sorry for the wrong info. I hope she forgives me
This was a 3rd place ribbon

then I made the next one for my great grandson Blaze
called Western Pinwheels. it is from a Fon's and Porter magazine "Love of Quilting"  several years ago. Theirs had the sail boats around the edges I chose to use the horseshoes

then I made  the big retreat tote from a Auntie's Two pattern
Get Away Bag  2nd place on the big bag

Next was my "Tall Tree"  a pattern from  Cindy Edgerton
and my  final one was my  set of 4 Projects bags. these I absolutely love to use!
The bags are a pattern  I picked up in Berlin Ohio  from the Country Craft Cupboard.the pattern
By Annie.com.
the Purse style bag with the patchwork was mine as well. It is  made with Fig Tree fabrics and called the Jumbo Drawstring bag

sorry  not wanting to boost just sharing a  some of the things  I like to make and sew.

Holey Moley time gets away

Hello All
I seem to not post much lately. I am so sorry to you all. Today was a bit of cleaning up around here. had a little sunshine and it brings out the  got to clean this  look at the dust! I have been out shopping a couple days in the stores. found some reds for a quilt I want to make. Also have been looking at a couple rulers (Fit To Be Square)by Monique Dillard. she has other rulers too.  to make the square in a square  easier to do. The square is on point in the center. I finished a doll quilt and got the binding on another one I have made called small bakers dozen quilt..
I belong to a group on yahoo named abcquilters and we are going to do a swap soon on some blocks with each other. we each  will make 2 blocks for each person  participating in the swap. I also do a doll quilt swap once a month. Regular quilt guild coming up soon and then I have class for a sweatshirt jacket on Saturday with the guild busy, busy. The quilt that I want to tackle next is one called Strawberry Social by Margo . I love the colors and her quilt.  I was in NC last week visiting my 2 sisters and sewing every day with one or the other or both. We made large tote bags  Aunties Two( Get Away Bag) love the bag!  just for the supplies it was around $100.00 including the pattern.
 Well it is time to jump off and get busy doing something besides here at the computer so for now ta ta.
until next time take care and keep your needle moving
