Happy Monday!! I survived the big weekend of our guild quilt show. It was awesome, and the committee sure deserves a high five because they worked their tails off.
The challenge project this year was to use a "crumb block" somewhere in a small quilted item. These are the 10 entries and each attendee could vote for their favorite. The applique lady in the upper right was the 1st place winner.
My project received 3rd place! That was sure a pleasant surprise. The crumb kitties were fused on, and outline stitched using black thread. I used embroidery floss in various colors to do some big-stitch hand quilting in a diagonal grid.
More quilt show photos will be shared this week as I go through the pictures I took. There were so many wonderful quilts. I made sure not to overdo it either day, but I'm headed to bed early tonight as I'm really tired, even though I didn't assist with the quilt show set-up or tear-down this year.
What is on YOUR design wall today?
