I must say that having our own blog is really a brilliant idea and I am suggesting to the guilds that I belong to here that they could do the same. We can post all kinds of things here, thoughts, suggestions, comments, ideas, show off our stuff, see what others are doing, what fun !
I thought I would post a picture of the little embroidered pincushions I have been making.
They sold like hot cakes in our Quilts on the Rocks show and as I said I could make some for our next WEQ show. I call making them stress busters.
I am also posting three of the quilts I had in the same show. The black and white one with the red flowers is now on my daughter’s wall in Montreal. It was quilted by Lynn McFern, of Cuilte Montreal.. She did an excellent job, she even has a hummingbird and dragonflies in the quilting.
I can't remember if I showed you the two smaller ones at
Guild before I left, bear with me if I have already.
I am posting also the quilt that won Viewers Choice (my Dragonfly quilt was second). Anyway, the winner was Dear Edith (a Dear Jane) quilt, it took the quilter, Patti McKinnon, about four years to make.
All the piecing and quilting was done by hand and some of the tiny blocks have between 30 and 40 pieces! A work of art and infinite patience. Such patience I realize I no longer have, I was going to embark on starting a king size bed quilt this weekend at a quilt-as-you-go workshop but came to my senses in time. It will now be a lap quilt. Look forward to reading more of your postings,

Great job Marilyn! Your quilts are very beautiful. I love black on quilts. Your pincushions are fabulous. They really look eatable. It would certainly be a good idea to make some to sell at our boutique. Since I won't see you at Audrey's, have a great Christmas holiday!
