Ha! That would be Queenie doing a little show and tell at Saturday’s
meeting of the Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild.
This was my first time to a meeting and was a wee nervous…
I was brave, went out on a limb and brought my latest finish for the group’s
show-and-tell. I had a lovely time with
a great bunch of quilting folks. (Silly Queenie for being nervous)
Now it’s time to show and tell with you…
Quilty Flowers Peeking
Through is made with a pattern called Fresh Connections from the Windham Fabrics website. Pssst... Its a free pattern, quite easy to piece (intermediate level), and packs a visual punch.
The majority of the
fabrics are lovely Civil War reproduction fabrics I purchased at a local quilt
shop called 3 Dudes Quilting.
I really like all the
interlaced squares.
A sort of garden lattice
with a bit of an M.C. Esher influence…
Which lent itself to a
bumper crop of quilty flowers peeking in and all about. (Click on any of the photos for up-close viewing)
Next up on my Innova long arm
quilting machine are two wee seasonal wall quilts beautifully pieced by the
awesome Queenie Mother.
April Showers, which I
quilted with blustery Pooh Bear corner wind and rain drops in blue varigated
thread…
And, May Flowers which I
quilted with fun sunflower seed centers, quilty flowers and leaf-like filler.
Queenie’s been thinking
of late, that she really needs to name her Innova longarm quilting machine…
He’s definitely a boy…
very gentlemanly… always dependable...
I’m leaning toward the name “Owen”... Your thoughts?
What name do you think
would be good for my dream machine?
Until next time…
Have a great day!
