Road to California and another prayer quilt

My hubby, my dog and I went to Quartzsite for 5 days.  While we were there I got news that my good friend, Jackie was in a serious accident while on vacation in Vermont.  She will be recovering for months so I am starting a prayer quilt for her.  I plan to get the borders on Allietare this week and send it to the quilter, then I will work in earnest on Jackie's quilt.

Road to California was wonderful.  Had such a good time with my good friend, Lisa.  Beautiful, beautiful Quilts.

These were in the hall as we entered-there must be a pattern or a class as they were all similar-loved the bottom ones especially.

This one best of show and rightly so.  It was stunning and I couldn't even start to think about how it was done.

This was a Kaffee Fasset booth.  I love the Rainbow Stripe quilt.  I have been collecting his stripes-better see how many more I need to make it!

Think I wish I had bought the throw kit:{

Always looking for heart quilts because of Greg's heart transplant-this would be an easy one-appliqued hearts and 4 patches.

Another simple yet striking quilt done in Kaffe Fassett materials-need to start using the rather large collection that I have of his fabrics.

Just very lovely, precise work

This was just beautiful.  It was a group project but an individual could get the same effect by using different techniques or have 5 people do 1 flimsy each, cut into 1/5ths and share so that each participant ends up with something like this-that would be fun!

I took pictures of this amazing quilt from 3 angles-this one was almost straight on.  Even the frame is fabric.  My favorite piece in the show

Allietare Flimsy

I can't believe I finished this so quickly.  I have about 10 quilts in process at any given time so It takes me awhile to get a finish.  However, I couldn't stop working on this one.  Love the pattern and will definitely do it again-probably in Christmas colors.

I still have to add the already cut gold skinny border and black scalloped border-but the hard part is done!

Gold and black borders and backing

Allietare Reveal

New Year's brought the Bonnie Hunter MQ reveal and I have to say, it is the prettiest so far.  I am amazed that some ladies have finished their full sized quilts.  I didn't know exactly how many pieces I would need so I made 1/2 as we went along and needed to make several more of each one.  Yesterday I got all pieces cut out and most units made that were needed and was able to start sewing the blocks together.  I really like this quilt and plan to make it again.

I am subbing the next 3 days so will have to leave it where it is right now.
