A wonderful Quilt Show weekend
What a wonderful & exciting weekend I had !
Friday a friend & I drove down to the Sacramento Quilt , Craft and Sewing festival . When we walked in the first booth I saw was this oak quilt ladder. I have been wanting one for a long time and as soon as I got it home I hung some of my quilts on it. How fun it is going to be to display my seasonal quilts for Summer , fall & Christmas .
I could not believe my eyes when I saw Sandy Klop ! It was like meeting a celebrity :-D She is just the nicest person ! Here booth was just wonderful ! We chatted for quite awhile and then I asked if she would mind if I had our picture taken together.
Saturday I went to the Auburn Quilt show !
The first booth I went to was LYNN WILDER'S of Sew'n Wild Oaks booth another Celebrity !
What a pleasure to finally meet her ! What a SWEETHEART ! I could have sat and chatted all afternoon but as you can see by my picture she & her sister Gail were very busy . I knew her booth would be popular. She is a amazing quilt designer and it was so nice to see her finished quilts in person. We are hoping to get together soon .
And of course I could not leave without buying her wonderful book Patchwork Math Using Quilting Design Components . She even autographed it for me :-D
This is what I purchased at the show.
I found the perfect backing fabric for Sugar Trail quilt ! It is a Jo Morton fabric .
I fell in Love with these Hoffman " Flames on the Water II " batiks . I need to find the perfect quilt pattern for these !
What a exciting weekend I had !
Now on to the show ! ENJOY !

Victory Star Kit Win !
Look what I won !
Victory Star A Civil War Inspired Quilt Kit !
Nicole of SISTERS CHOICE QUILTS BLOG had a give away last week and
my name was chosen out of 180 quilters !!!
Nicole is making this quilt right now and I have been admiring ( drooling ) while watching her progress on this quilt. Nicole had a friend who bought this kit and then decided she did not want to make it anymore.
Just look at all of these gorgeous fabric !
What a surprise it was to see 2 star blocks had been made and that ALL of the pieces for the stars have already been cut and bagged
I found a basket I had to keep everything organized and I can not wait to start this quilt.

September Calender Girl has arrived........and now there are 12
Just got a package in the mail today....
It's my September Calendar girl from my dear friend Doreen ! She finished the borders on both of our September blocks . She really out did herself on this border. Just look at all those little pieces she Paper Pieced.
Didn't she do a amazing job !
For those of you new to my blog. Doreen and I both fell in love with this quilt in 2013. Doreen decided that she would do the Redwork for both of our blocks and then she designed the border for each month theme. Each month she would send me the tutorial and fabric cutting directions .
Each block is SO unique .
So now we have all 12 of our blocks done Hooray !
These are the fabrics will be using to finish our quilt
What a wonderful journey this quilt has been and so many treasured memories
