I started a new quilt a little while back

Farmer's Wife quilt has 111 block in it and are 6 inch square finshed size blocks. I am going to attempt to hand piece these blocks. So this is the first block done.

Not the greatest photo but it works. I don't know if I will like hand piece or not but figured it might be fun to try.

Pictures from Northeast Iowa Quilt Guild show.

I did not take a lot of pictures just a few here and there.

 

This quilt is called Star Spin and won a Viewer’s Choice on Saturday of the show.

This quilt won best of show of the judged items. Not all items at the show are judge it is a choice made by the member entering the item if they wanted it judged or not. This is a very light pastel quilt and the photo is not the greatest.

Another wining quilt

The shading in this quilt was done with thread it is a machine stitched whole cloth with lots and lots of stitching  on the quilt

Where has the time gone

Hard to believe how long it has been since I have been on here with the blog. Life has been crazy busy it seems like. Between going to a niece's wedding and reception, quilt show and getting the binding on a quilt.  

I had two quilts in the show  this one a 9 patch that you make and cut in quarters and a Triple Irish Chain. The tops have been done for a while but got them to a quilter this summer. Love how she quilted them. 

I got the fabric for the Triple Irish Chain and had a lot of the pink, blue and light print I made the 9 patch quilt I think it is called Shattered 9 patch.  I also took my Over the Fence wall hanging for display (it was in an earlier post.

I will try and post a few more pictures from the show later.
