Fair and Fabulous Fabric

So I was meandering around through various people's links and found this post about some fantastic fabric. Check it out if you love loud colors and florals.

I'd also like to give my compliments to the ladies whose quilts I saw at the county fair. You know who you are. There was a particularly lovely rendering of Snow White that I suspect we will be seeing at Peach Days. Well done one and all.

Tumbling blocks


If you would like the instructions Sariah handed out for the tumbling blocks quilt earlier in the year, click here. I finally finished mine and would love if people would send pictures of their progress to me at jbramall at yahoo dot com. Then I can post the pictures for you to share!

More Show and Tell

We had a delightful time at our potluck/auction this month. I don't know about everyone else, but I came home with a large quantity of stuff that will gather more dust in my stash space than I care to admit. It just seemed at the time that I needed it. What can a girl do?

I brilliantly forgot to bring my camera, so I am awaiting some images. I looked through the ones from last month, though, and found the following lovely two quilts that I missed in the last show and tell post.

A lovely blooming nine patch, which the photo is a little blurry, but you still get the effect.
This is a fantastic eagle quilt with a beautiful nature scene. We have such talented ladies in our guild!

Featherweights


During Peach Days this year we will be having a display of Singer Featherweight machines. Featherweights are a style of Singer that was made for portability and ease of repair for the user. You can learn more about these machines here. This is a picture of Sariah's machine, which she brought to our meeting last month.

Sewing: A Piece of Cake

Anne B. sent this picture to me. It is all cake and frosting. I suddenly feel a little insecure about my measly offerings when I sign up to bring refreshments . . .
