Princeton Quilt Show

My friend, Marilyn and I went to the quilt show in Princeton, IL.  It was a nice show.  We also stopped at 2 quilt stores, and made a couple of purchases at the vendor mall, but, I don't have any pictures of that, sorry.  I do have lots of lovely quilt pictures for you to look at.  I'm sorry that these pictures aren't labeled.  I always take pictures of the cards attached to quilts, but, for some reason, most of them were 'whited' out.  I did try.

Happy Quilting Day!

Modern Block Exchange

I am participating in a Modern block exchange with my Treadle On group.  I don't usually make modern style quilts, but, I liked this block.  I've only made one set of blocks so far. 

first block made

 Here is a set of blocks, trimmed.  I still need to sign these blocks.

1 set of Modern blocks for exchange

I will be making more of these blocks.  We have to use Kona 'Ash' as the background color, but, we can use any bold color(s) for the strips.  I'm using some of the fabrics from my son's wedding quilt for my bold colors. 

more strips, ready to be stitched into Modern blocks

Of course, since this exchange is with my Treadle On group, the blocks must be made on a 'people powered' sewing machine.  I'm using my 1959 Singer Spartan (192K) hand crank.

I think I need to make a set on my blue treadle, Victor, too.

We're headed off to another quilt show, shortly.  This one is in Princeton, IL.  We are also going to check out an new quilt store in La Salle, IL. 

Have a great weekend!
