PADUCAH 2014

PADUCAH 2014: The quilts range from Wow! I could do that to it's beautiful, but I would never do it. This is the second year the tent makers from Cairo have been there and I am fascinated with the way they stitch so fast and use large scissors and needles compared to appliquers here in the States. On Friday evening, I was able to go see Ricky Tims in concert and it was well worth the time - great fun.

COURTHOUSE STEPS TABLE RUNNER

 06/29/2018 Note: This item has been stored and unused since it's completion.  COURTHOUSE STEPS TABLE RUNNER: I built this entire project around a piece of fabric that I found locally (the center blocks) of eagles and flags. It was easy enough to do and there are only eight 15.5" blocks. The finished size is 31" wide x 62" long. The backing is a reproduction fabric that reminds me of blowing bubbles. I pieced it in Sept. 2012 and it was machine quilted by RLM in Oct. 2013. Since then it has been laying around waiting on me to bind it and do the tag. Well, the project is finished as of April 2014 - yeah ! (#1038)

Here is another idea for this versatile design.
