Clark County Quilt Show

The Clark County Quilter's show was two weeks ago, and this was my favorite. It was made by Lynn Czaban. I looked up her previous work and found that Lynn is quite well known for her realistic quilts and you can see her interviewed about the quilt that won AQS in 2015 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko7Q4upaESc. So yeah, this is Lynn just trying improv out. Sigh.

And while we are discussing expertise, here is Buddy eating from his new dinner bowl. I call it his candy dish. On occasion, he gets a tablespoon of Molly's regular food which he would otherwise inhale.

Really Slow Stitching

This quilt was originally inspired by the Jen Kingwell Pick a Petal Quilt but I went a bit off course. One of her blocks was a glorified nine patch and I made about a quilt and a half of uneven nine patches. I was next going to appliqué the wedges but didn't like how much that would have hidden the background. So I played around with paper cutouts of curves and came up with the quarter circle arcs. The appliqué is a bit slow going because I am slow going. 

I am still making blocks for the Stonefield quilt by Susan Smith. I really like the block on top but think it may be too bright for the quilt. But I will wait and see when I put all the blocks together. This was an incredibly easy block to make...given I changed the block from having mitered corners to partial seams. 

And here are some cross blocks for the Stonefield quilt.

This morning as I was heading out on a morning walk, I noticed a nosy neighbor right on the property line daring me to say something. I didn't.
