Hands All Around XIII Quilt Show

It has been so long since I posted anything here. I've been to a couple of flower shows but the pictures are posted over at my other blog, Lucinda's Garden. The winter was brutal but I think it is finally spring here. I've been out doing gardening chores lately.

On Sunday March 27th I attended the biennial quilt show put on by the Hands Across the Valley Quilters Guild. I'm a quilter. I have several quilt projects in various stages of completion but haven't had time to quilt lately. But I do enjoy going to the shows and seeing what others have been creating.

Here are my favorites from the show:

"Off to Santa Fe" by Lyn Heady. I love the color combination and fabrics in this one.

"Spring Fling" by Jane Carnes, design copied from a painting by Rebecca Barker.

"Portraits of Flora" by Timna Tarr, "A sylized garden using my favorite fabrics." I love the color play in this one.

"Leaving" a mourning quilt by Ann Feitelson

"O Happy Day" by Timna Tarr. "A study in color using my favorite shape, the circle." I love the way the black background sets off the circles.

"Fruits of Happy Labor" a stunning appliqued quilt by Heidi Knowlton
I restrained myself and only bought two "fat quarters" of fabric at the vendors. So many ideas I have and so little time!
