Infused with Inspiration

On Friday, I went with other Quilt Guild members to the Lancaster Quilt Show (AQS Quilt Show, in Lancaster). This is the first I have went in over 5 years. There are several reasons for that and I won't trouble you with that here. But, it was good to go back. I certainly needed this infusion of inspiration as I felt I have been lacking with the enthusiasm I 'used' to have. I don't think I have lost my zeal and excitement for making quilts, I think that life has just gotten in the way a bit. It is my plan to find my my happy spot again because I am happiest in my sewing room!



At the quilt show, I got to visit the Primitive Gatherings Booth! OH MY GOODNESS!! I was in heaven on earth! I could have bought at least one of everything... but, since I am not related to Donald Trump or Bill Gates, I didn't have that option! I did buy a wool pattern, 2 wool kits and a pack of  various red wool. That is enough to get me through the next month or two! LOL... And, the 2 kits will need to have picture frames, therefore, hubby now has those added to his 'Honey-do' list. I have to keep him busy in his wood shop.

I have been working on my hexies.... trying to get a little closer to the end with this 'Grandmother's Flower Garden' quilt. I started this project in December 2011, as a guild challenge. On my original layout, the quilt would have over 6600 pieces in it. In that same layout, it would have had 500 'flowers'. But, as I continue to sew the flowers together, the needed 500 flowers seems like a lifetime away, and more layout ideas come into my mind. So, the possibility of change to this particular quilt is a possibility, or more likely, a probability! Change can be good, right??




God Bless,
