It’s A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood

We’re having the nicest day of the year today and Leo has been busy in the garden and I’ve been spending some quality time with Tillie. 

I still have a few Quilt Show pictures to share, so here they are:

This one is called Feathers & Roses by Lynne McCulloch.  The detail with her thread painting is beautiful.

There were also a collection of quilts from Canada Packers which had been collected from County Fairs over the years.

These quilts are just timeless and exquisitely done.

This gorgeous quilt was hand appliquéd by Kathy Dunnigan.  Her work is nothing short of perfect!

This heart quilt was done by Grace Maloney and she incorporated a lot of ‘heart’ sayings into it – i.e. – key to my heart, heart to heart, broken heart, half hearted, etc.

Now that I’ve shown you all the Quilt Show pictures, I’m going to have to get busy and finish some things of my own to show you.

I did get this baby quilt finished last week and off to the recipient.  It’s my favourite circus fabric based on Mary’s Strippie Quilt pattern.
