Wow, I just had a very fun 3 day weekend….it is sad to see it past!!! On Friday, I mailed my Sunflower quilt to the East Cobb Quilt Guild show in Atlanta, where it will be judged next Monday and then hung the following Thursday. I am looking forward to seeing it hanging in this wonderful show.
On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, I worked on several different projects and truly enjoyed spending long hours in my studio.
The prize of the weekend was finishing the blue stair quilt that I showed a couple of posts back. It is now named “Escada Azul” (Blue Stairs)……
Here is the photo that the quilt was based on……
As with most of my pieces, I learned a lot about myself!! I ended up doing a lot of applique to set the piece together and found that I enjoyed the hand work. I also had one piece that didn’t l0ok right but I had decided that it was “good enough”. I thought about it during the night and went in first thing Monday morning and ripped the piece out and re-did it, being much happier with the result.
I also quilted a wallhanging for a friend who is in a time crunch trying to get her booth ready for the upcoming Atlanta show. I still find it nerve racking to quilt for another quilter….someone who KNOWS what it is supposed to look like!!!
Oh well, so much for the Holiday….now it is on to Accounting work!!!

That is so neat … fingers crossed that you win.
Looks even more stunning now that it is finished. Good luck with the Sunflower quilt.
This is awesome…do you quilt it then? How did you make the stones look like stones? I am impressed!
This piece is impressive!
