This past week I attended the Landrum Quilt Show, and what a great time! Lots of quilts, wonderful vendors, a whole room of used magazines and books at ridiculously low prices, and raffles too! Couldn't ask for more. The quilt show is held at one of the local high schools, in the gym, so I …

Be My Neighbor Block 12
Moving on to the next block in this quilt along, block 12 is pretty simple. I knew I could do this one in very little time, so I got out the basket of scraps and began pulling colors. I laid out the previous row so I could see what would be next to this block, …
Angel Quilt
Recently, a friend of mine gave me this sweet fabric. It isn't a panel, but it has squares with angels playing in their gardens. The soft greens and yellows with the printed purple sashing is just a charming color palette. There are three angel designs in the fabric. Initially, I thought it would be a …
Applique Quilt Repair
Repairing a well loved quilt is one of the things I really enjoy doing. Sometimes a quilt is just used to the point of falling apart, and really, what better tribute to a wonderful quilt than for the owner to wear it out? I'd much rather see that than a beautiful quilt wrapped in tissue …
Be My Neighbor Block 10 and a Quilt Shop Visit
Moving on to Block 10, I feel like I am running out of choices for pastels. I really don't want to buy more fabric for this quilt, but I may have to. A fat quarter or two wouldn't hurt, would it? There are still six more blocks after this one. I knew I wanted a …

Be My Neighbor Block 9
The meeting is today, and I'll be taking the pebble fabrics there to get a few more opinions. Actually if I could find the grey color in the other smaller scale, it would be perfect. I've had another idea too. I am considering taking all the blocks apart and adding blue sky sashing between the …
Be My Neighbor Block 8
I got a bit busy with other things, but finally got back to the Be My Neighbor block due next week. Block 8 is on the right end of row two, so I got out the other blocks to pick fabrics. I was trying not to repeat the same fabric in adjacent blocks. This block …
Quilting on the Grand Strand, part 2
Picking up from yesterday, the Grand Strand Quilters meeting was so much fun. I really enjoyed making new quilter friends, but had no idea what would happen next. One of the charities the Grand Strand Quilters support is the Quilts of Valor program. I didn't get this quilter's name (with the microphone) before the end of …
Quilting on the Grand Strand
Last week, DH had work to do in Myrtle Beach and I decided that I needed some beach time. So I packed a bag and went with him. While he was working, I had a grand time on the Grand Strand! The Grand Strand is composed of a number of small communities along the coast, …
A Puppy Quilt
Last month I left a comment on a quilty UFO adoption post on a fellow blogger's event. Cyndi blogs at Quilting is More Fun Than Housework, and every so often she does a link up event. You post a UFO that you just don't have the enthusiasm to finish, and then pick a person who …
