Quilt Show and Stripping

I was so busy during the show I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked to.
Here are a few ribbon winners, all of the ribbons were "Peoples Choice", the show was not judged.

I thought this quilt should of had a ribbon, the applique was perfect.

This one won the applique category. It was gorgeous too.

Hand quilted catagory and antique quilt.

This is my "Christmas Ribbons" bargello and a ribbon winner of the seasonal catagory.

The next quilt I took to the show just because we had a few racks to fill.

I was very surpised that it won a ribbon.

It is hand quilted and I love this quilt but I was still surprised.

Now that I have recovered from the whirlwind weekend, I am doing some mindless strip sewing , while watching the Presidential Inauguration.

Making a pile of 16 patch squares I will put together with hour glass blocks.

Happy Quilting!

Quilt of the Month

There hasn't been much quilting going at the Idaho Quilters lately that I can blog about, you know all the secret stuff going on this time of year.

But that doesn't mean I have not been around blog land to see what others have been up to. I have many blogs I read daily with my morning coffee. I read blogs like some read the morning newspaper.

One on my never miss list is Gypsy Quilter . She is feeling a little under the weather right now so stop by and wish her well.
Through Gypsy Quilter I have found the International Quilt Study Center,
Below is thier Quilt of the Month photo compliments of that Quilt Study Center.
This quilt is almost 11 feet square.


Tree of Life
Maker unknown
Probably made in the United States, 1790-1810




Weather man is wrong again, we were suppose to wake up to 3 to 5" of snow this morning, didn't happen. temp is around 20 degrees, now they claim it will be very cold and windy tomorrow with chill factor of below 0. I hope they are wrong again. And if it has to be this cold snow would at least make it pretty, so let it snow.

Happy Quilting & A Very Merry Christmas!
