This show features hundreds of quilts on display, demonstrations, 25+ vendors, raffle prizes and special exhibits by two amazing featured quilters: Therese May and Randa Mulford. Our association is very diverse and you will see all forms of quilts, from traditional to modern, large bed quilts to small art pieces, and every technique you can imagine on display.
I am excited to have four of my own quilts on display and just finished stitching on quilt sleeves and paper labels.

| Final Quilt Show Prearations: Sleeves and Paper Labels |
Here is a fun preview of my quilts that will be on display:
Cherry-Go-Round, started in a SCVQA hosted workshop with the fabulous Freddy Moran.

| Cherry Go Round, 54" x 54" |
Hippie Daze, which combines my own hand dyed fabrics, free motion quilting (lots of fun pebble designs), Mod Mola cutwork, and a tribute to my Peace, Love & Happiness mantra!
 |
| Hippie Daze, 44" x 44" |
Rainbow Hex Code, which will be included in the Handwork exhibit as all the flowers are english paper pieced and hand appliqued, as well as hand stitched binding. Of course, the piecing and free motion quilting is all done on the machine!

| Rainbow Hex Code, 50" x 50" |
And I will have one more quilt included in the How Do You Celebrate? Quilt Challenge collection, which I will share a sneak peek in the next week or so!

My goal today is to get those paper labels on. Your quilts look wonderful here. It will be fun to see them in person soon.
ReplyDeleteThose paper labels can be a bit tricky to stitch through!! I was very tempted to just glue them on!! Should make for a fabulous quilt show showcasing our members' talents!!
