The things I've been doing!

Wow! It has been so long since my last post. I have had so many things going on but very little time for quilting. However, I have managed to almost complete the little tiana quilt I have been working on. If I must say so myself, it is sooooo adorable.  I was trying to add some pink in there somewhere, but she just kept screaming green, green, green!  It is from the movie Princess and the Frog.
I think she turned out cute anyway. The backing i'm using is a princess and the frog fabric I got from my hometown Hancocks.  It is just perfect.  It was so hard to not embellish this little quilt. I decided to add a crystal headband instead of a crown. And a princess must have her jewels right. So I also added Swarovski crystals as her jewelry. Love! I almost don't want to give this baby away. My daughter has requested a princess quilt of all the princesses. Got even more work to do on top of all my other quilty endeavors.  I don't think I would have it any other way. Happy quilting

Back from Paducah

I'm baaaaaaack.  I am amazed every year I make the trek to Paducah, Kentucky for the annual quilt show. The workmanship is just ridiculous.  These people are so talented. I don't know how they come up with some of these ideas or where they find the time.  Most of these quilts I would never make, but I am just wowed by their beauty. I thought I would share some of my favorites.

This was my absolute favorite in the entire show. I just love whimsical quilts. This quilt is by

Dominique Ehrmann who documents her 25 years as a baker and chocolate maker.  You can definitely add quiltmaker to this list. This girl is oober talented. The details were crazy. There was 3d shoes, chef hat and bake shop! Gotta love this. Have to definitely see it in person because my pics don't do it any justice. Looooooooooooove!
