this post contains a variety of photos....first up, went to a local quilt show yesterday and snapped these few that caught my eye...there were plenty more but these were a few of my faves...
don't see stained glass quilting around much, but this one and a couple others were quite nice....
this was a panel but sure didn't look like one....the colors appealed to me....
i liked the silhouettes on this little piece.....and managed to sew a bit myself before venturing out. the senior center is having a placemat workshop in september, which is shockingly just around the corner. first attempt while doing some baking resulted in a block the wrong size, but the do-over came out just right...
the leaf fabric in the top one is a hoffman, naturally....their designers always turn out gorgeous prints...and a couple of vacation memories...was it really two weeks ago??
the famous ken's seafoods in scarborough, maine, and my own selection of yummy fried clams in batter....a decadent and delicious choice! last but not least, a couple of local flora pix....the first is of these floral bushes that are everywhere in an array of colors from pink to lavender to fuchsia....when in full bloom they are gorgeous! they look like a lilac variation of some sort...
and a look to the future with a photo snapped last year at a local state park.....i know i couldn't live anywhere that didn't have an autumn....
now off to start the week....on my list? hope to finish a couple of small pieces, plus the scrappy 9-patch border and tackle the QOV to see if that can be an august finish....
The shrub/tree is a crepe myrtle. We have them everywhere here in Texas. They bloom all summer. They come in many colors from white, to many pinks and purples, to a deep red.
ReplyDeleteThat dragonfly quilt is beautiful!
The stained glass quilt really caught my eye. So striking!
ReplyDeleteThe crepe myrtle tree is beautiful. I never see them around here--I guess they wouldn't survive our winters.
What a nice photo gallery, Grace. The dragonfly quilt is gorgeous. This morning's Chicago Tribune had a story about the Illinois Odonate Survey -- that means counting dragonflies and damselflies. Who knew? We didn't!
