Chat A While: June 2015

Finally getting to posting about the quilt show that Joe and I attended April 28, at Founder's Hall, in Sauder Village,OH. It was a great show if you get the chance I would highly recommend attending. It is held yearly. They had an appraiser available, demonstrations, workshops, and more.

As an extra bonus there is a wallet emptying Quilt shop "Threads of Tradition" with over 3500 bolts of fabric including hand dyed fabrics, kits, help, advice and custom hand quilting.

Also if you have never been Sauder Village is fun and interesting.

Christmas anyone? I think I liked this one because, I don't think I would ever attempt making it.

Double Wedding Ring has always been my favorite. This one is interesting because of the star at every intersection. This one I might try but I remember how long mine took me to finish and it didn't have the star element.

This is a more traditional piecing and the piecing that I used with mine. However the colors are stunning. and I love the dark green centers forming a square in the center of the quilt with more dark green centers coming form the corners and meeting the square in the center.

Tumbling Blocks is the name I know this by, however this is a non-traditional color choice, it has a scrappy quilt feel to it. I might try to do this one. I like scrappy quilts as the hold to tradition of my grandmothers "use what you have" and "waste not, want not" People today should take that advise, as we have wasted much of our planet in my life time.

I liked this one because it reminded me of construction paper hearts I made in grade school. :-)

Lastly I thought this one was just plain cute.

I have a lot more pictures but I can't post them all. There was really fantastic talent represented here, painted, 3-d, picture pieced, embroidered, to many styles and techniques to list.

Consider putting this show on your bucket list. Next years show is;
