Finally got Lincoln off of the String Quilt blocks long enough to complete this throw. I’ve been trying to use up some scraps. It seems like they multiply when I put them in the bin to wait for a project. I’m going to try to eliminate the huge scrap supply this year. Right!!!

QuiltCon in Raleigh NC

Posted in Quilting, Serendipity, Travel, tagged , on February 23, 2024| 2 Comments »

Yesterday I attended QuiltCon for the first time. It was held in Raleigh this year. It’s the largest Modern Quilt Show in the world. I was not disappointed! There were so many amazingly beautiful quilts….unique and colorful. And then there were minimalist designs. This one, Mulberry Swirl by Kelly Spell of Hixson TN won the Minimalist category. It is so simple but gorgeous. The show runs through Sunday so if you can get to Raleigh’s Convention Center it is worth the trip!

Have you ever started working on a project and just could not stop until you got done? That’s what happened to me yesterday. I had an idea for this little fox applique to put on a modern stripe quilt that would be perfect for a little person and once I got the applique cut out I couln’t stop. So at 12:30 last night I finished this Quilt As You Go version of a striped quilt with the Little Fox Applique. I love him. This is two quilts in a row now that I am crazy about. Oh my! What to do next? (And check out the backing I used on this one. Isn’t it cute too???!!!)
