Mom made this quilt top a long time ago and it has been waiting for me to quilt it. It is flannel. I quilted with outlining the churn-dash and large squares. In the border I did a stipple.

Radiant Sunshine & Shadow with Helen Frost class
Feb 20, 2016
The guild had Helen Frost as the guest speaker and teacher. Her lecture was fun and sprinkled with magic tricks and helpful quilting hints! Helen's mother wrote the Blooming 9 patch book that mom and I have made several of. This class is very very similar. The class was large and very fun. I got most of the project done in the class but had to finish at home the next day. I don't know what to do with it as I don't like small quilts. I made this from batiks that were left over from a project mom is making. I hope to put it in as a medallion next year. It is a bigger then the rules call for but I'll ask.

Medallion 2016 Round #3
Medallion Round 3.
Starting point:
Used books Mariner's Medallion by M'Liss Rae Hawley for the lighthouse inspiration but since the block in the book was applique and I don't do applicque. I pieced the block. The book Quilted Adventures by Sara Nephew was the inspiration for the nautical flags, fish and sun. I really like this medallion effort as it was a creative process for me.

AQS Phoenix Quilt Show 2016
Feb 11, 2016
For an AQS show this was pathetic. The number of vendors was small and most of them had been at Road to CA so we had seen most of it. The few local stores that had booths were good but we also went to most of them while in Phoenix. The quilts as always at these shows are so amazing that I am intimidated and they make me feel me unworthy. We then visited quilt stores in the area. Mom and I do not plan to go to this show again until it gets much better. My sister will probably go after work in the years to come and let us know when it is vastly better.

Mom made this quilt top many many years ago. The pattern was from Peddlers of Danville as was the fabrics. The outer border was to have an applique vine but Mom doesn't do applique. I started quilting a flower on the outer border but didn't like it and decided to just to an overall large stipple so had to unsew.

Go Fish

I gave mom the pattern and FQ for this on Christmas 2015. I purchased it at Backporch Quilts in Monterey while there in Dec. It is backed in navy minkie. I quilted the bowl with calm water and large stipple everywhere else.
