quilt show

this past weekend was the East Cobb Quilt Guild's Bi-Annual quilt show, Georgia Celebrates Quilts.

there's lots of pictures....let's see if blogger will play nice

i had three of my quilts in the show.

Foot Notes

i didn't realize i'd miss this one...i took it off the bed to enter into the show, and didn't have another big enuf to replace it...*oops*

Echoes Of Color

it's so big, it's nice to have a 'entire' picture.

*don't forget, the pictures will supersize when you click on them. click the back buttonon your browser to come back here*

and the 2011 blog BOM, Galaxy, from here (it's blurry on purpose). this is what the quilt will look like for those sewing along, minus the blur *grin*

nothing like a show drop off deadline to get a quilt done. i got the last stitch in the binding and label with seven minutes to go before the start of drop off. *whew* i've learned to not submit a quilt to a show unless it's completely done!

i had eight customer quilts in the show:

i released the squishies back into the wild for the block swap today. (if esther in canada and barbara in UK could send me an email, i'd appreciate it)

there were 17 participants, so you will have three repeated blocks- one of your own, and two from the lucky players that were in line next to you.
