OK one last shot of quilts from the buggy barn quilt show.  these two quilts cracked me up   I loved how bright and colorful they were.  very unique from everything else that was being displayed.




peace man.

blowing in the wind

recently i went to an outdoor quilt show in Reardon, Washington.  It is out in the middle of a wheat field and usually a fun little show.  this year the wind was blowing like crazy.  making picture taking hard and with the grass seed kicking up in the air causing allergy problems so we didn't stay long.

here a few pictures that I liked

I waited and waited for the quilts to come down patience isn't my best friend so this was the best shot





I love how they cover the barns with quilts



even the bathroom inside is covered with quilts


yeah scotties these could be turned into white and made into westies so I had to get a picture of them



I bought the book to make this quilt the last time I came.  and have I done it yet?? of course not don't be silly stash is being made for sometime in the future when time is more on my side

part 2 tomorrow

i did it

my first quilt!!!!!!!










I did it from top to bottom. I took a class from the cozy quilt and learned so much.  I even did the machine binding and had my walking foot crumble apart on me so they were kind enough to loan me a machine for the rest of that class to finish it.  The binding was one of the hardest parts all that hand sewing on the back.

blue quilt

mom finished a

she wouldn't look at the camera so no face shot. grrr and it was a little crowded in there.  but at least I got a few shots of it to keep on file. 

this is Alex the proud new owner of the quilt.  You can also see some of the details of the prints in it.



she had some greens in there I guess but tore them out after she had finished and started a new because she didn't like the way they looked once all put together.

Vetern's Day!!!!

To all the veterans, current military members and their family I salute you. 

As a past military member and the wife of a just (last weekend) retired air force guardsman I always feel proud to see the flag. 

this is a flag quilt that I saw at a recent quilt show.  as you see below it is stuffed so it makes it look puffy

quilted inspiration

the annual quilt show in Spokane.  I was a little under the weather but got a few pictures taken.  lots of beautiful quilts.

this was done with hand dyed wool soooo cool.

this really caught my eye.

the overall quilt show winner for this year.  Took her 7 years and you can't see it here but the detail was amazing. 

i thought my husband would love something like this.

and this design and color was really inspirational.

some day I will have one completed.  SOMEDAY

color in the midst of none

the annual buggy barn quilt show held in the middle of some wheat fields where the buggy barn is located near Reardan, Washington.

take a dusty road to get to the destination and you will find lots of beautiful quilts.  the above quilt was one of the patterns we bought.  my husband was with me and really loved it.  His favorite holiday is Halloween.  Of course I have YET to make a quilt but soon. 

was fun.  Although I have to admit after going to the sisters oregon quilt show in July well I was spoiled by that show.  but we had a great time

this would have been a great shot if people weren't around but I guess that would never happen. lol

wings

a few more quilts my journey is almost done. 

this was amazing the stitching was amazing

this quilt was made so that both sides could be enjoyed.

back side

not all quilts were traditional like this one.

close up view

for me the piece work always amazes me how they can bring different fabrics together to make one thing.

are you bored with quilts yet??? well there were almost 1300 quilts at teh show and after an entire day there I only took 200 pictures and most have NOT made it on my blog site.

every nook and cranny

every house, store and object had a quilt on it in sisters Oregon

it was a rare sight to get to take a picture without someone else in the shot.  I tried several spots to get mom's picture in an area and it was just impossible.

these were the stars over sisters contest quilts.

just had to get a pepsi shot in there

even down the hallways and around the corners had quilts

this is the place that started it all.  the stitchin post.  this set of quilts was the employee challenge quilts

this was one of my favorite shots.  wished the bush wasn't there but then I don't think they would have taken to kindly to me pulling it up. lol   most of the quilts were hung by themes to go with the stores or colors of the stores.
