First Friday

Last evening I went to another one of our local stores, Quiltworks, for their First Friday exhibit.   This month they revisited a number of the previously featured quilters who each brought 2 or 3 of their newest quilts.  

Sandy, no blog, was featured this year, so I went to support her.   She never fails to disappoint with her creations.  

Here she is next to her Merry Christmas quilt by "Heart to Hand".

And this one is a Schnibbles pattern by "Miss Rosie's Quilt Co" that Sandy changed up a bit.  She designed and added the wool center.  

Another previously featured quilter was Sally Rogers who loves Civil War quilts.   She made this one from the book, "The Blue and the Gray".   It is stunning and I see this one in my future.  

Sally also loves the traditional log cabin block set in the barn raising pattern.  

This is a little mini quilt.   I should have put something next to it for size reference.  

By the time I got to the other quilts, the room was filling up with people and it was hard to see the signs showing who made them.   I'll just let you enjoy.

As you can see, there's something for everyone, ranging from the traditional quilts to the modern and art quilts.

Thanks Marilyn and Dave, (owners of the shop) for another wonderful exhibit.   If you're in the area be sure and visit the gallery.  It will be up for the entire month of September.

Okay...that's 3 posts this week.   I'm on a roll here.  AND......I've been sewing too!   I think I can officially say that my mojo is back!  

Hugs, Anne

First Friday

The February show at Quiltworks in Bend was held last night and the featured quilter was Lori De Jarnett who some of you may know from her blog, Humble Quilts.

Lori has a wonderful collection of vintage reproduction quilts.   I told her I wanted to take her picture next to her favorite quilt and she picked this one.   She said she made it after seeing a picture of one in a museum in Lancaster, PA.  

I'll just let you enjoy these gorgeous quilts.  

And last, but certainly not least, this is Lori's Dear Jane quilt.   In my wildest dreams I can't even imagine making one.   Stunning!

Lori's quilts inspired me to buy more Civil War reproduction fabrics and guess what?  The shop was having a sale!   Woo Hoo!

If you have any questions about any of them, I'm sure Lori would love to hear from you. 

The group display was our Woolies group.   I'll show you those pictures tomorrow.  Way too many pictures for one post.  

Hugs, Anne
