2 weeks has now become 12 miserable weeks...

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUniform

#QuiltSky #ThursdayGreen Isn't this fun! "Doridina Of The Deep" is an original design by Eve Brasfield. She created this quilt for a challenge, and I'm glad she did. Nudibranches are one of my favorite animals with their colorful & showy gills. Notice that her quilting echoes the roll of the sea.

#PinkWednesday As Seen In Paducah This amazing quilt is hand pieced, hand appliqued, and hand quilted by Keiko Minami from Kawanishi Hyogo, Japan. She named it "The Charm Of Small Pink Roses." She won a well deserved AQS Award for Best Hand Workmanship in 2013. I'll attach a close-up.

#TuesdayBlue "Aquarium." Cathy Decker was a quilter before she even knew it! She purchased this fish fabric in Hawaii just because she liked it. Other fabrics started to create a Stash. Then after an illness, she decided to use her Stash! A quilter was born.

#ColorfulMonday I saw this in a gift shop in Louisville. ky. I was quite fascinated because this quilt pattern was made completely out of soda cans. Tom Pfannerstill created "Star of Bethlehem" in 2025 out of found aluminum cans. Okay Then .....

#SundayTreats #CookieParty Orange/Cranberry/Oatmeal cookies, To die for.

#SundayYellow Paducah Quilt "Inferno" by Marnie Murray from Portland, OR. Marnie dyed cotton fabric to get the right color distribution and intensity to depict Oregon burning. On the West Coast there really is a fire season that has become frequent and destructive. Marnie had those fires in mind

#RubySaturday As Seen In Paducah "Fly Away # 10, Paradise Lost" was created by Laura Wasilowski from Elgin, I'll. Laura machine quilted silk with cotton thread to represent the habit loss created after a wildfire.

Omg, someone foster this little coven

#FridayPurple Laura Rafey made "Modern Mosaic" and displayed her work as part of the Silicone Valley Modern Quilt Show. This was a block-of-the-momth program for the modern row quilt challenge. It looks like Laura had fun with this one.

#ThursdayGreen "Mary's Heartbeat" was created by Leslie Hughes from Duluth, MN. This is amazing work. You really need to take a closer look at the free motion quilting. And, I'll provide that close-up.

#PinkWednesday Mandy Fleig named this quilt "Barn Star." Mandy was inspired by all the barn quilts that she saw on a trip through the Midwest. Since she lives in the SF Bay Area, she didn't have a barn to decorate, so she created a barn star pattern and quilted it instead.

#TuesdayBlue I am stunned at how beautiful this quilt by Karol Wright is. She named it "Venice Rose." The pattern by Norah McMeeking is called Bella Bella. The design inspiration comes from a pattern on the floor of the Basillica of Saint Mark in Venice.

#ColorfulMonday As Seen In Paducah This is "Snails Lamé" by Scot Murkin, created in 2005. This quilt was in their miniatures collection, so I'm thinking it must have been about a foot and a half square. I'll attach a close-up.

#BookSky #ReadingChallenge

#SundayYellow As Seen In Paducah This quilt has 2 names "Bricklayer"or "Court House Steps." It was made by Arie Pettway From Gee's Bend in the 1940's. It is 78x64 inches and made out of work clothes. This pattern always starts with 1 contrasting block at the center.

#SundayTreats #CookieParty These, should be named "Evil Brownies."

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekSforSongs I Go To Pieces Patsy Cline 🎵 🎵

Please adopt Peanut, save a precious life!!!

#RubySaturday Cindy McGarry quilted the "Solar Flare" design by Villa Rosa Designs. Cindy had a stash of patriotic fabric that needed quilting. "Solar Flare" to the rescue! I like that the center of the star burst is off to the left side, instead of centered. Interesting.

#FridayPurple Here is "Amethyst Garden" by Renee Silva. Renee bought the flowered fabric years ago at a quilt show. She had been waiting to find the perfect pattern to show off this lovely flower border print. The tickets to the show had been gifted to her, thus this quilt holds lots of memories

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekSforSongs Up On The Roof (The Cryan' Shames version)

#ThursdayGreen "But Mama, I Was Born To Dance" by Jessica Sharkness. I'll attach her story because it's quite interesting. If truth must be known, I picked this piece as my favorite in the show!

#SundayTreats On Wednesday This is a light white cake that's brushed with vanilla syrup. It's a Mascarpone-Whipped Cream frosting with strawberries and blueberries on top and between the layers. 🤗

Okay, Blue Sky medical experts .... Can this be radiation dermititis? I'm a teacher, so this is out of my area of expertise.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekSforSongs Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree Brenda Lee

#PinkWednesday "Structural Paradox" by Mandy Fleig has quite an interesting story. She bought a storage container with this pattern. And the design was so intriguing that she decided to reproduce it as a quilt. Mandy found the process quite challenging. Her design reflects MC Escher's work.
