Sacred Hearts Quilt Show...

This was the raffle quilt, that will raise money for children to go to Camp Rainbow. The drawing will be next September. 

 This was my favorite pieced quilt.

Look at all the beautiful tiny multicolored pieces.

This was my favorite applique quilt. I love the cats but, the flowers are really pretty too.

 I liked the use of color in this French braid Quilt.

 I liked the treatment of the border on this beautiful quilt. I actually have the tool to make those diamonds, but never thought of doing them on a quilt border. These quilters are very creative.

Even their ribbons are beautifully made, love the hearts.

I will show you some more quilts tomorrow. You can also see more quilts from this show at Scraps and Threadtales .

Camelot Block 1....

Finished block 1 of Camelot, just need to trim the circle and add the background.

I started laying out block 9. I am choosing the blocks that look easiest to paper piece first, so I will not be going in numerical order.

Today I am off to the Peaceful Hearts Quilt Show. I hope to take a lot of pictures to share. Hope you have a fun quilting day!

The start of my Camelot....

I collected these fabrics first for a jacket that had a circle medallion on the back. I decided after making the medallion, I would probably not wear and enjoy a jacket that much living in the very hot South. So, I then changed my mind to use this fabric for a traditional sampler quilt and found that beautiful flower fabric on the lower left and added a few more FQs. Now after seeing this Camelot pattern by Trish Harper, I have decided to use this collection of fabric to make my own Camelot Quilt.

This is the unfinished medallion from the jacket and after measuring parts of the Camelot pattern, it is the same size as the circles in Trish's pattern. This makes me happy as it is such a pretty piece and almost finished.

I am working on block one so far by making a foundation from the pattern pieces. I am not much of a hand piecer, so I plan to make my blocks mostly by paper piecing.

Mail Tales....

I ordered this pattern from Australia ( Ordered from HERE ) after seeing some other bloggers working on this beautiful quilt. I am excited to start working on this one real soon.

These are the prizes on their way to the Post Office. I got them all into the mail today, so you will soon have them in your mail box.

It has been very rainy and overcast here so Chipper has been showing Scotty how to stay snugly/warm on my DD#1's plush robe.

Hope you are having a fun guilty week.

Quilt of Valor Finished...

My Daughter was just tall enough to hold the quilt up for a picture. Now I can take the quilt to our Guild meeting tonight for show and tell. Then I just need to make a label for it.

Back to quilting...

After I spent the morning weeding my flower patch, I got back to quilting. Ruby was ready to get to work on this Quilt of Valor top that I made from scraps awhile ago. Hopefully I can get it finished by tomorrow night for show and tell at quilt guild.

This end of the frame is a little dark, but Scotty is on the left. He has been sleeping on a quilt that is folded and waiting to be dropped off for our quilt show October 15th. He actually has been there today while I am running Ruby, relaxed as can be. He truly is a good quilt kitty. That is when he is not using my quilt frame for a jungle gym and playing in the thread! LOL
