Featured Quilter

 

I was humbled and honored to be chosen as the Featured Quilter for February at Quiltworks here in Bend, OR.  There is always a reception on the first Friday of the month to open the gallery.   This month, however, we had a big snowstorm and for the first time ever, the reception was cancelled.  The funny thing about that is….I had a dream the previous weekend that no one came to the reception.  Looks like that was a foreshadowing of what actually happened.  Even I didn’t show up!

Oh well, the quilts will be up the whole month.     I thought I’d give you an overview of how the gallery looked with all the quilts hanging.   It was overwhelming for me to see a lot of my quilts hanging in one place. 

This is the view once you get to the loft.

 

Because of where they were displayed, a couple of the quilts were hard to photograph in the overview.

Mr CnW thought I needed to be in one of the pictures!

And this is me pointing to my bio that I wrote.  Looks like I got a bit carried away since it ended up on 2 pieces of paper.  I usually don’t have that much to say about myself. 

A huge thanks to Marilyn and Dave (owners) and Mary Ann (their fabulous employee in charge of the display) for choosing me to be your Featured Quilter for February.  

If you are ever in Bend, be sure and stop by the shop and take a look at that month’s display.   It’s a wonderful experience.  

Next week, I’ll share the February projects that Sandy and I have finished up!

Hugs, Anne

Woolie Tuesday

Today was our get together of the Woolie gals. Usually, Anna is running around with her camera taking pictures like crazy. But…if you’ve read her blog recently, you’ll know that she lost her Mom on Saturday. I know that she would want to see what we’ve been up to so, Anna, this one’s for you!

Mary finished up her cute witch by Bird Brain Designs.

Sandy brought in her “Henrietta Whiskers”. She’s finished and the last block just came out last Monday. What an over-achiever! She also changed all the blackbirds into crows to give it a bit more primitive look. Isn't it cute?

She also brought me back my quilt which she quilted for me. It was a Block of the Week a couple of years ago from Primitive Gatherings. She did a wonderful job of quilting it for me.

We all know that I don’t quilt. As Mary says, “I quilt by check”. I agree!

Our group meets at one of the local quilt shops, Quiltworks. Marilyn and the girls have done a great job of getting it ready for fall. The entry display is bolts and bolts of gorgeous flannels. (never mind that it was 90 degrees here today….fall will come eventually!)

And cottons perfect for whipping up some pumpkins.

I have this patterns and bought the red fabric…Hmmm, guess I need to actually MAKE the quilt, huh?

Lots of yummy wool.

And patterns.

My latest obsession….Civil War fabrics.

Cute table runner using a Crabapple Hill pattern. This will be a class.

The shop is also offering these next 2 quilts as Block of the Months.

If you’re interested in either one, give them a call. They’d be more than happy to ship to you.

We had a great day, but really missed our friend Anna.

Hugs, Anne
