The Blessed Quilt

MMQG's 2011 Raffle Quilt

Adding ribbons to the warchest

Okay, I am only up to TWO! Local is good! My first ribbon was honorable mention at the Coastal Prairie Guild Show - Quilt by Mainland Morning Quilt Guild (Pieced by Linda C, Dede K and myself!). Now, Mainland Morning Quilt Guild has won 2nd Place at the Go Texan! Houston Rodeo for Mixed Media Quilts. Yours truly quilted both! Getting out there!!! I am going to have to make one myself and enter it somewhere. I am going to take the big leap and try! First, I will have to make a quilt! Where to find the time?

There's a first time for everything

And here I am. My first blog post. I just finished quilting a quilt and have it hanging on my wall, just looking at it. I studied the "Terry Twist" quilting style and went off that to quilt individually the 12 quilted blocks, 6 blank blocks and 10 setting triangles. I think it turned out well. Hopefully the piecer thinks so too. No, I haven't pieced a quilt in a while! I took a class a couple weeks ago from Michelle Watts of New Mexico. I really need to sit down and finish that quilt. Maybe next week...
