The last (I think) of my 2010 Sauder Village pictures...

Baggie project...I'm wading in (better late than never!)...

Well, I'm finally jumping on the spool band wagon...did I spell it right??  I KNOW I pronounced it wrong.  I drafted a pattern tonight and dug right in.  Mine will finish to 3 inches and have a slightly fatter center than the first post I saw about these.  I LOVE to have little pieces in a baggie or little box...since my daughter came off a cranky horse a little over a week ago and badly sprained an ankle, I have been stuck waiting places for her with no tiny project.  I've got a few cut out from scraps so I'm ready for action.  I've got a lot to do to catch up with the rest of you!

More quilt show eye candy...

The above was paper-pieced and the one below is appliqued and machine-quilted...

This pineapple was made from neckties - really cool!

I've seen this New York Beauty variation before, but always love to see it.

This quilt was made to honor servicemen in one family...

More later!

More eye candy (quilt show pics)...

OK.  First of all, I'm not a great photographer.  Second, the way they set up the show at Sauder, they make all these U-shaped alcoves to hand the quilts in.  This is great because they can hang a lot of quilts.  It is un-great because it is impossible to get back far enough to take a decent and/or entire picture, straight on.  They hang some little quilts on point, and sometimes I turn my camera so that they line up for a picture.

All those excuses made, I hope you can enjoy the essence of these quilts!

The one above and the next several are all little quilts...part of a challenge using the Bonnie Blue line that came out last year sometime...GORGEOUS small-scale repro prints (I bought a fat quarter bundle last year, signed up, and didn't complete the mission - LOL).  The longest side could be no longer than 36 inches and the block size was to be 5 inches or smaller.

Here are the Best of Shows - first the wall hanging and then the bed quilt:

I really liked the following one...nice balance of pieced, applique and quilting.

This was a nice paper-pieced quilt for a 4-year-old...

I really liked this wall hanging...

The teacher for the week displayed this one...Sharon Schamber of Arizona...

I LOVED this next quilt!!  It was huge!  On our entry form, we were to choose between "to be judged" and "display only" - this person chose neither, which I think was an oversight on her part.  So the judges did not consider it.  Pity...

More later!
