How many Quilts in a day

https://www.quiltfest.com/upcoming-shows-and-events/world-quilt-florida-2/

I was lucky to attend a World Quilt Show, in Orlando  with some friends. Unfortunately some of my photo's are not that great, I am hoping SOMEONE takes the hint and buys me a swanky camera!

There were many quilts of all sizes some were pieced and others were a lot of thread art. I have chosen a little variety to show you . So much inspiration so little time. Unfortunately I did not take pictures of the more tapestry like quilts- not that I did not like them but I couldn't get a clear shot!!

I am so busy there is little time for me to get caught up

SO planning ahead I have Ted's 3rd birthday outfit done

I need to clip a few more threads and then I am off to the races. I must get things under control and just when I do I come up with another great idea!

Finally the quilt is done

I made the top months ago and no time to put it together but thought it would be a good thing to do while in the south so here it is

I was sent a photo and asked to make a quilt - it turned out 45 X 80. I had to use all recycled material. the backing was from a duvet cover, the flowers were appliques that I reversed to get a softer color rather than the vibrant red. I did a lot of thread painting ( that I had no idea if I was doing it correctly ) it all turned out in the end, but I had a wee bit of an after thought. Why did I make it the size it is?? I will turn it on end and hang in in my hallway

Mischief

We had a good week, somehow Ben managed to build this and get it in the RV and then the legs folded up and we took it out for a rest

A few days later out this pops from the other end
Hard to believe that we were able to get around the table and to Ben's delight into the fridge otherwise it may have been take out for a few days.

Sometimes I can be creative





Whipped these up while waiting to get my hopping foot  for my sewing machine
Ben built a quilt table for me so now all I need is to get it up tomorrow now that I have my proper quilting foot, Will spend a few days practicing on that quilt then watch out!
