It's silent in the quilting blogiverse these days. I have a "reading list" on blogger that I began curating many years ago. Decades now, if you can believe that! So many people have stopped posting that it consists of only about five active blogs that regularly post. I feel like I have returned to my hometown to find no one still living there anymore. I think I'm a little disappointed by that. The quilting landscape is different, and I'm going to have to adjust. I suppose this also presents an opportunity to start anew.
I stopped into a sweet little quilt shop today, about a half hour drive from where I live. A very kind woman, the owner, greeted me as I entered. I spent a few hours in her shop today and found lots of treasures. I'm collecting fabrics to make a quilt called Wooly Stars by Coriander Quilts. Oh, what beautiful fabric I found! The shop was simply packed full. Initially I had chosen black and white fabrics as the pattern called for. But I really love a little warmth, so I ended up rethinking that choice and grabbed chocolates and creamy buttery off whites. Here's some of what I brought home:
I cannot wait to get sewing now!
Last post I told you that I went to the Lake Farm Parks Quilt Show in March, too, remember? It was wonderful, as always. Below are a few snapshots of quilts that I really loved.
I had a wonderful time at the show. My husband and the babies were good sports and came along with me. I would really like to enter the show next year. Let's see if I can get things together enough to make a quilt to share. That will be a great goal for this year.
Plants are growing too. Look at the size of this Hosta!
I had my three-year-old son place his hand beside it for reference. Of course, he's just small, but what huge leaves this plant has! Today it supposed to rain all day. I have some work to do, and then I will make some time for sewing. I was able to get one border onto my patriotic quilt. I think next, I'll try to add two more!
