Time for a 4-part eye candy series of posts! These pictures are from the 2018 AQS Fall Paducah Quilt Show a couple of weeks ago in Kentucky.
If you have experienced the Spring Padacah Show and hated the crowds, this is the Paducah show for you! The show and Hancock's Fabrics were not crowded and I got a room at the last minute.
Enjoy!
The following quilt won the major award for 4th best overall.
This one won 3rd best overall in the show.
The next beauty was Best of Show.
Wasn't that fun? I have 3 more posts of show pictures to show you.
Off to a retreat...YAHOO!
In stitches,

Yes, I won a ribbon for being "The Most Inconsistent Blogger EVER!
But seriously, "Food Frenemies" won an Honorable Mention at the AQS Fall Paducah Quilt Show this week.
I thought it would be too silly a quilt to be considered by the judges, but I am so pleased.
Thank you for messages of concern. I am still kicking. CRAZY summer, same as all of you, with not enough quilting time.
AND I am working on a super-secret reproduction project from something dated during the 1600's. SO COOL! I am not going to reveal any of it until I have gotten past the tipping point. I think lots of you will be interested in doing it, perhaps. I am certainly obsessed with it myself.
When I did my "Baltimore Rhapsody" music blocks/quilt and let the block posts just trickle out, I was shocked that people were actually wanting patterns of the blocks. I was always feeling behind and stressed about getting blocks done in a timely fashion and getting the patterns prepared.
(Still feel like that as I try to finish the saxophones and folk instruments...sigh.)
That is how I backed into selling my patterns. That project appealed to a certain niche of musician and musician-lovers.
This time, I want to be past a certain point before I reveal so that I can get out in front of all you speedsters who might be interested in it, as well.
THIS IS GOING TO BE SUCH A COOL, UNIQUE PROJECT!
I have been drawing blocks for 2-3 months now. Now I am beginning to choose fabrics and construct each block. So much fun...I wish sleep wasn't necessary.
I have LOTS of photos from the Fall Paducah Show to share with you, starting Monday. I should have all the pictures loaded on my computer by then. Plus, I am going to a small, sort-of-local show this morning where I will take pictures. They only have a show every other year, but that guild has some GREAT appliquers!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and checking in on me. I will try harder to be "home" when you do!
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
