Yuba Sutter Quilt Show

The Valley Quilt Guilds quilt show in Yuba CIty was very nice. There were a lot of wonderful quilts on display. The vendors had a lot of fabric choices, a lot of patterns, books and samples to stimulate those creative choices. I bought chicken fabric and patterns to make some creative things for the people in my life. I have reacquainted myself with old friends and took pictures of some wonderful quilts. Lets start quilting.

A Quilters Weekend

Well the weekend is here. Time to get ready for a new quilt show. The camera is charged, I have a new 2 Gig card and a spare battery. The walking shoes have comfortable insoles. The shopping bag is set by the door. Ready to be carried away tomorrow morning, to stand in line with the other quilters eager to see the new quilts that were made by innovative and creative quilters. This routine is the weekend getaway that many quilters look forward to each weekend. To search the vendor booths to look at the new fabric lines, the new tools of our craft to help us create a new and innovative quilt that we will be willing to show to our family, friends and to the world.

Another day

Well it is getting warmer. Time to get started quilting again. My youngest son told me some great news and now I have a new grandbaby on the way. My daughter is getting married in October and I have some UFOs that need to be completed. Time to think about what patterns I want to make. Maybe turtles or a lucky star for the grandbaby. I need something for my daughter, but I am not sure what. It must be in jewel tones as she favors those. I have to finish the red and black quilt that I tried to make as a wedding present for my oldest son and new daughter-in-law. I have a baby blanket for my friend and a house warming gift to finish. So much to do, so little time. There is a quilt show in Yuba City this weekend,March 22,at the Yuba City fairgrounds, maybe that will get me motivated.

 
 
 
 

Welcome Quilters

I love to quilt. I love going to quilt shows and seeing all the new quilts that are made. In between work and family, I try to make a few myself. I am interested in new ideas that will make quilting easier and new gadgets that will help make my quilts better.
