I have only dabbled in quilting. My friend and neighbor, Lorri, takes classes and has made many beautiful pieces--one of which she generously made for me, which I will post as soon as I get it hung properly.
Lorri and her friend from quilting class, Peggy, met me at this year's Pine Tree Guild quilt show over at My Favorite Fairgrounds to walk amongst 350 or so of this area's finest work. Such beautiful colors and some very creative pieces!
I have no real commentary. Some of the handwork, especially the stitching, can make one wonder how these craftspeople have time for anything else in life. Yes, I've seen (and driven!) some of the newer quilting machines. They're faster. Still.
A couple of beautiful Hawaiian-style designs caught my eye. One, not shown, has a black background, which was stunning. Next you see a quilt that wakes you up in the morning (though one wonders how one gets to sleep in the first place).
I loved this little nautilus wall quilt where the maker had dyed the fabric herself. 
And there's Lorri (blondie) and Peggy.That's it! Soon, I hope to figure out the attachment to the telescoope that will allow me to take pictures of the new hawk chicks that were born last week. Cuter than cute! Stay tuned!
