Studio Art Quilt Associates had a special exhibit at the AQS show called the Sustainability Challenge. Here are my favorite quilts from that exhibit.

Have a great day!

I’ve dithered about long enough on this project! I decided it was tim3 to just sew it together. You’ll notice I ended up skipping the sashing.

I noticed this little bit while quilting. These blocks were made by a friend in New Jersey!

I decided to use that pretty green fabric for the binding.

This is my dedicated binding machine. I love it for that!

Now I have lots of hand work to do. I need to find a few good movies.

Have a great day!

I’m back! I think I’m caught up on sleep and my laundry is nearly done. So it’s time to share a bit about the Grand Rapids AQS show. First off, this won Best Original Design and it was well deserved!

These tiny blocks were only an inch!

It was absolutely stunning in person.

As I mentioned earlier, I was there to work in the lounge which was sponsored by AccuQuilt .

We had tables for people to rest, water to drink, chocolates, and an opportunity for people to make blocks for Project Linus.

By the end of the third day, we had about 120 blocks!

I had a great time chatting with people and demonstrating the AccuQuilt dies and cutters. I even got to meet blog reader, Lois! That was a highlight! I also got to visit this little quilt.

This was the first quilt/pattern that I made for AccuQuilt . It hung in the lounge along with many other “AccuQuilt Built” quilts.

I’ll be sharing more show quilts soon. Have a great day!

I will be sharing photos from the show soon, but today I’m in recovery mode. I have managed a few more blocks for the scrappy stars SAL.

The original antique crib quilt had 20 stars set on point.

Only four more blocks to go! Have a great day!

Ta daaaaa!!! It’s finally all in one piece and pressed.

I love it, but I am tired of working on it.

This next photo shows what it looks like on a 45 degree angle.

And here is a peek at the back.

It currently measures about 46”by 56”. I have more pieces cut. Should I keep going and make it bigger? And how will I finish the edges?

These are the questions I’m currently pondering. At the very least, it may do some closet time. I’m overdue for some hand quilting.

Have a great day!

Did you know you can make quesadillas in your toaster? It’s my new favorite snack! I use the small flour tortillas and shredded cheese.

I did tie die with the Es last weekend. It’s a mess, but they loved it. Idk where E1 was when picture time came.

Here are all 3 with Mr. Wonderful.

We also made these. So fun! You can find the best craft ideas for kids on Pinterest.

As this posts, I hope to be sleeping in after my time at the AQS show in Grand Rapids.

Have a great day!

Since I’m busy at the AQS show this week, I’m sharing this post from five years ago today. I posted this for the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. Enjoy!

Once again, Amy from Amy’s Creative Side is hosting the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. If you are here visiting from her page, welcome! I hope you will take a look around while you are here.

Regular readers may remember this quilt that I finished earlier this year for my niece’s wedding gift. It is one of my favorite quilts ever so I decided to share it for BQF.

I kept the piecing simple because this quilt was all about the quilting for me.

I love this backing fabric by Tim Holtz.

I loved quilting all those feathers!

Have a wonderful day!

Making these star blocks is quite addicting!

I’m only working with the scraps I had cut. It is fun coming up with combinations and substitutions when needed.

Some of these don’t even resemble stars anymore!

Have a great day!

Remember this? I finally pieced all the rows.

I was thinking about adding long strips of this for sashing, but I might be changing my mind again. I could use this for an outer border.

I have a few blocks leftover.

I guess I’ll be thinking about it this week.
