Sharyn Resvick's Threads of Time Exhibit

This was a fun exhibit! These quilts are only about 30 inches square, but it was fun to see the styles of quilts from the past several decades all represented in one exhibit. A fun and interesting way to celebrate quilt history! 😊

Cherrywood Challenge 2024

The Cherrywood Challenge for 2024 was Poppy and the exhibit at the festival was HUGE!! So many of the quilts were personal, honoring family members who served in wars. Some were just about poppies and a couple I saw referenced the poppies in Wizard of Oz. All were amazing, it was quite an exhibit, as you can see! 👏😊❤️

Houston International Quilt Festival 50th Anniversary

We spent the last few days at the International Quilt Festival in Houston and had such a nice, relaxing time. Front and center as you entered was a HUGE display of red, white and blue quilts of all sizes. The flower arrangements are all real and beautiful as well. Pretty stunning!

Quilting Adventures

As I embark on another quilting adventure this week, I thought I'd share a little more about this class I took at the Sisters Oregon show in July!

Leslie and Michelle taught the class and it was all hand stitching - which I love. They prepared beautiful kits for us (below).

The class was on stitching scrolls. My friend Sherida made on awhile back and I've been wanting to give it a try! I even ordered an antique spool to put it on. This class was fun and gave me a good push to start, but now I need to dig deep for some creativity to keep going. 😊

My start is pictured below.

Michelle was also hand stitching these wool patches! She stitches laters of wool onto a background wool piece (the pink) and then sews them on jackets, clothes, bags etc. as patches. She had some really fun examples! It would definitely be easier than stitching right on the clothing, if you're layering wool pieces,.
