A Quilting Reader's Garden

Design Wall Monday 1/24

Well I was going sale tax crazy, so I just dropped it all and stole 30 minutes to finish a square off of my design wall. It's 8 1/2" by 10 1/2" . Is it too big to call a mug rug? If so, what should I call it - a micro quilt.
In QOR - guess I would call it a quiltlet. But for now I'm calling it Under the Stone Pine.

The little house block was sent to me by Beth Shibley of LoveLaughQuilt . She hosted a house block swap so some lucky quilters could build their own friendly neighborhood. There were three winners. Some gorgeous blocks were turned in. If you visit Beth's blog, look for the little house on her right sidebar and you can go see all the cute little houses. To see what other's have on their design wall, click on the button for Judy's Patchwork Times on the left sidebar.

Here's some Eye Candy

This is my progress report for last thursday - zilch! And that's was because I was SUPPOSE to be doing the end of year report for my volunteer group and my taxes, but actually I played hookey and went to Road to California - the largest quilt show in southern California. It's this weekend, ends tomorrow and is in Ontario, California at their convention center. Here the Best of Art Quilts - I loved it!

Here is the Best of Show - it was spectacular also - I love these landscape quilts - so much I wonder why I haven't made one. It could be that I'm terrified of the process.

Here's is the one we came to see. My friend, Sandy, want to see her husband's best friend's daughter's entry to R2CA. Another beautiful quilt. I love her use of orange for the background

This one Sandy I picked as the Viewer's Choice - I'm not sure you can see it but the table and vase seemed to come out of the picture in a three dimensional way.

This lady is a true artist!

And here are three I would love to make someday - all stunners as far as I'm concerned. If you're in SO CA off to the quilt show with you. And yes, I was good, I didn't buy a thing.
