QUILTS ALL OVER THE HOUSE

This past week I gave a Zoom lecture to the Valley Forge Homestead Quilters, in Pennsylvania. Meeting virtually with them was fun and hearing that Philadelphia accent I think I have lost but can recognize instantly was even more fun. They chose the lecture "THE HARD STUFF" and I hope I inspired them to rise to a challenge. Thanks, ladies, it was good to be "with" you.

The Heritage Quilters of Huntsville had our bi-annual quilt show and I will do a long blog about it next week with lots of photos. The guild always presents a great show and this was no exception.

Since I am working diligently on a super secret project I cannot show you, here are some of the many quilts around my house, in no particular order:

The extra guest room, also where the overflow quilts are stored

An Archeological Dig, some completed, some waiting for quilting 

The most commonly used teaching quilts in easy reach

Many tops waiting to be quilted

The Living Room, an art quilt above the mantel, a small one on the chair waiting for the binding to be hand sewn. The small quilt on the sofa is for the cat

More Living Room--time for the Christmas quilt to come down. My Quilt of Valor is on my chair

A small piece from my "artsy" period, with LOTS of beads and a 3D lace dragonfly

Our bedroom with a few of my favorites and my husband's Quilt of Valor is at the foot

Even have quilts in the bathrooms--this was an early teaching sample: Quiltmaking 201, more challenging blocks and hand quilting

Another in my bathroom--Batiky Log Cabins--made for and featured in McCall's Quilting magazine years ago

The main guest room, always ready for guests

Oriental One of a Kind--from my artsy/Asian period, lots of beading, some hand quilting, some machine quilting

A lovely Round Robin quilt I made with the Sunday Sew and Sews

Hand marbled fabric I made and used for a Signature Quilt at a wonderful retreat with the Virginia Consortium of Quilters, 1989

Color Play 2, made in 2010, a scaled down version of a quilt in a magazine

My introduction to paper piecing 1994. Those kimono blocks are 2.5". Lots of hand quilting, back when I hand quilted everything

So there you have a little tour. How do you display your quilts?

Let's quilt.
