I was on a blog this morning, and in the sidebar for blogs, I scrolled down and saw mine. 3 months since I published. Wow, it was time. The trip to Oregon was fantastic. We used planes, trains and a bus to get all over.
Lots of sights to see.
The Outdoor Quilt Show in Sisters Oregon was pretty amazing.
I collected Row By Row kits from the 5 quilt shops were visited while we were in Oregon. When I was at The Quilted Forest, I found out they didn't have a winner yet. I went home and started sewing all my rows. I didn't stop until I had a finished, bound and labeled quilt.
And, I won the prize!
Here's is what I came home with. The bag was loaded with fun stuff!!
I quilted each row and them sewed them all together.
Last years rows is finally quilted too. It has no binding yet.
Typical for me to put that off.
My niece from Virginia was here for a full week. It is her parents that were waiting and waiting for Captain A-moo-ica. She was not allowed to leave here unless it was in her suitcase.
She was here during the quilt show up in Blue Earth....
Madi helped hang the quilts at the show. She didn't know it but I also had made her a quilt. When all the quilts are hung, we then go and hang all the information papers. She read,
Owner: Madison
And off she went to find her quilt.
She was so excited that this quilt was hers.
Other quilts of mine from the show....
The one on the right is mine, Karen's is on the left. These are part of the block exchange. All twelve of the quilts made will be in The Minnesota Quilt Show in Duluth next summer.
All the same blocks, but so many ways to put them together.
Madi made a mini quilt while she was here too.
Her nourishment while she sewed this.....
She did all the sewing herself. So now she wants to make a king size quilt.
We shall see.
We took her to the Iowa State Fair.
I had never been to this fair and tractor joe had only been there once. I think it was Madi's first fair too.
I continued working on the temperature quilt. Its been a few months, might be about time to pull it out and add some more rows.
Okay. That kind of catches me up through the summer...
I'm still trying to figure out what happened to October, it went so fast.
Happy Halloween!
