MILWAUKIE -- The International Quilt Association chose a quilt created by Janet Fogg of Milwaukie to compete in its spring show.
Fogg, whose colorful quilt is called "Trinity," is one of 21 finalists. The quilts will be on display and the winners will be announced when the three-day show -- featuring the theme "Celebrate Spring!" -- opens April 8 at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Thanks to all the hard working guild members that pulled off another great show!
Check out "Woolie Mammoth Quilt Designs for a great slide show of the event.
Thanks Anna! http://wooliemammoth.blogspot.com/2011/03/quilt-show-was-so-much-fun.html
Hello fellow quilters,
It is National Craft Month and....
March 19 is National Quilt Day!
In the larger scope...2011 is the year of the LOG CABIN.
In celebration of this the ETSY team "QUILTSY", of which I am a new member, has launched a great project.
"SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING QUILT BLOCKS"
Here is how it got started: using 42 quilters from all over the country and beyond....
with the leadership of "Wimbrella" from Houston Hights, Texas.
[ This is going to be SO fun! Participants are grouped into "ROWS" mostly by location.
Each person is making a log cabin block (in cool family colors - blues, greens and/or purples) trimed to 12-1/2 inches. Those are the only requirements. How many "logs", width of logs etc., is completely open to individual interpretation.
If they are not the first person, each participant sews their block onto those before them, adding to the row before mailing it to the next person in their row. The last person sends the entire row to annsquiltnstuff who is going to finish the quilt for us.
Please take a picture of your block and/or the row after you add your block in a setting unique to your area or with something meaningful to you. We will blog about the project progress. Link your uploaded photos in this thread or email them to me if you don't want to upload them. ]
Here is my contribution: Living in the Northwest I can't resist the Tulips...especially the purple ones. If you notice I had to add the frog print on the left....
check out the blog for more.
Maybe your quilt guild or local shop could do the same.
