Dresses, Dresses

As  work on my blouses, I am reminded of the teeny tiny stitches in Phillipa Naylor's work. I got a close up look while teaching at the Maine Quilts festival in Augusta this summer. It's really that small.

Cheesy Glasses, Nice Wine

Maine Quilts Festival's banquet on Saturday had wine, and even wine in plastic was welcome. Then we all sat back to hear Phillipa Naylor talk. Which was even funnier with a bit of wine.

Design Day

Twenty-five intrepid quilters met me in Maine Quilt Festival for a day with a dozen design ideas. We sewed, cut, pasted, and reassembled our way to many sketches useful for future works. It was all about composition. And a bit of fun.

Too Much Red and White?

...Apparently, not. The Maine Quilts Festival this weekend has rows and rows and rows of red and white quilts. All fun, in all sizes and patterns. My stash of reds grows, and I'll make one someday.

Happy 40th Maine Quilts!

Pat Delaney's quilt hangs to the left of mine at the entrance to the Maine Quilt Festival. Just a couple of flights getting here, I'm now in Augusta and ready to go. Tomorrow we'll be slashing and burning.

Controlled Chaos

For the first week (gone the second) at QBL, the months of printed fabrics are all askew. They're happily unfolded, and may not get ordered again, until packed to take to Maine Quilt Festival the end of the month.
