For some reason I am really tired today. I decided not to do any sewing and give my neck and shoulders a break. I feel like I have been going non stop on a quilting treadmill lately. Quilting is really wonderful and I do love being busy, but every once in a while I have to step back and take a breather.
“Midnight Stars”
A quilt I made about 16 years ago. Heavily hand quilted with cables and feathers. Even though it is only 60 inches by 60 inches, it took me a year to quilt it.
I am going to a quilt show this weekend in Somerset, NJ. Since I have not been to a quilt show for a while I am really looking forward to it. It will really be nice to see some wonderful quilts and be inspired by what I see. I am also looking forward to shopping. I just got a small royalty check for a lab manual that I wrote for one of my classes so I will have some money to spend!

woo hoo! Quilt show with no guilt money to spend. You will have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is wonderful! It probably would have taken me longer than a year. Have fun at the show.

Wishing you an inspiring day away, with a decent shopping experience too.
ReplyDeleteI like your quilt and I think a year to hand quilt this beauty is an amazingly short time.
