Faithful Circle Quilters Annual Show

This coming weekend is my guild's biannual quilt show - This year's theme is Birds of a Feather.  Here is our raffle quilt:


I had absolutely nothing to do with so take no credit!

I'm out of town this weekend so the only quilt I entered is part of a guild challenge for Project Linus - Dots for Tots since I won't be here to pick it up after the show:


For a bazillion years, my sister comes East in the Fall for our mother's birthday and in the Spring for Mothers Day.  We take her to Ocean City MD for a weekend - she loves her little beers and her crabs and even at 91, still walks the Boardwalk and walks along the beach.



Jo Morton Club

A friend has opened a new quilt shop (http://www.springwaterdesigns.com/) and has started Jo Morton Clubs...one of which is on Friday mornings...and since I don't work on Fridays I thought 'what the heck!'  I've never done it before and my usual quilts are kind of bright and scrappy, but I've always liked the look of old fashioned miniatures.

The first month, I simply could NOT deal with 3/4" and 1 1/4" pieces tho - so when I did the math, I ended up cutting wrong so my miniature became a very nice table runner which I gave to my mother:


In April, I was really proud of myself - cut right - pieced right - and couldn't wait for Show & Tell....only I had a conflict and couldn't go.  Damn.
