I spent almost all week engaged in quilt related activities. First, I picked up my Nosegay from the quilter. She did a fantastic job. Photos to follow as it is such a monster I have to move furniture to get any kind of photo.<\/p>\n

I also picked up some quilts from the photographer so I can update Artquiltmaker.com. The quilts are older, but it turned out that I didn’t have good photos of these quilts.<\/p>\n

I also spent a few days this week at PIQF with the JCN, The Fabric Queen (a new moniker for an existing Artquiltmaker character by request). I took a lot of pictures, which I will share in another post. I didn’t take as many as I would have liked as I was having camera difficulties. We went down early and went to the preview on Wednesday night. The quilts were available for viewing and the vendors were open for business.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I found a couple of fabrics that I can use. The three batiks were just there and gorgeous, but the skeletons are for the Flowering Snowballs quilt (I seem to be getting a sense of humor with the background for this quilt), then, of course, there are dots for the Pineapple.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Additional new fabrics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We went to Eddie’s Quilting Bee <\/a>after leaving the show. They moved about three weeks ago and it was right on our way, so we stopped. It is a nice, large, open and light filled shop (even in the pouring rain), but they didn’t seem to have a lot of fabric, probably because most of the fabric was at the quilt show. I found a couple more dots that I can use in the Pineapple. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is one of the quilts in the show. There were a number of great basket quilts, but one block inspired us to get sewing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It is pretty much a normal Flower Basket block, but the little Bow Tie in the middle gave it a little extra zing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Since my design wall is covered with Pineapple blocks, I used The Fabric Queen’s bed as a design wall. The green flannel wasn’t as sticky as I like and the green, though warm, was not that attractive for a background.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Not sure what to use for the background, so I was trying a bit of a print. Not so good, IMO.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I took the Pineapples down (don’t have a cow, they are going back up tomorrow!) in order to put the baskets up. They look much better on white.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>Some details of the blocks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is how I piece when it is too late at night.<\/p>\n

We decided that we would work on this quilt together, so I will take the blocks next time I go up to visit or the Fabric Queen comes here. TFQ is going to work on some alternate blocks in a chain to see if they work. I know I hadn’t planned to start a new project, but it was good to get some baskets out of my system and I am sure I will be refreshed for the Pineapples, which I am reinvigorated to work on.<\/p>\n

Apologies for the large photos. I wanted to get something out to you sooner rather than later. More soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
