2015 WHQG Show

As you can tell, I am a little behind in my blog posts.  I was so busy getting my four quilts ready for the West Houston Quilters Guild Show in March and time just got away from me.  Besides finishing the quilts, there were labels and covers for the labels, sewing on hanging sleeves, making drawstring pillowcases with clear windows to hold the quilt picture and information and filling out the paperwork for each quilt.  It had been six years since I had entered a show.  It is kind of like getting pregnant again, you forget how bad it feels to have the judges nitpick your hard work to pieces.  However, I love my quilts and I am the only one that has to be pleased.

Key to My Heart Quilt

I belong to a Quilt Bee called "The Monday Night Divas".  We are a new Bee, just a few years old and finding our way.   Last year, we exchanged 2 1/2" x WOF strips for 6-7 months.  The suggested pattern was called, "Key to My Heart", by Sweet Jane's Quilting and Design.  Some of us, made the pattern, some made it their own and one made a scrappy Trip Around the World, that turned out just beautiful.

The quilting is thread spools, needles, rotator cutters, pin cushions and scissors.

Love, love, love it.

 

 



Still trying to use up the yards and yards of the Butterfly fabric I purchased in three colors.
