Late Friday Finish

Got my Something Big Top done:

Somewhat busy, but my 8 year-old grandson loved it.  He asked me if I had any more material. Unfortunately, no.  This panel was given to me by the co-ordinator of Child Help (a treatment center for abused, neglected and at risk children) to make a top for a pre-teen). I'll be delivering it this Thursday and another volunteer will quilt it. So much need there.  Measures 54 by 62. As to my grandson, he has two quilts I've made him, so he wasn't too disappointed. Here they are:

Off to a liturgical workshop. Have a great day!

On My Design Wall

One side of a border for my something big quilt

For once it's cloudy outside in the morning (a sort of June gloom but in September) so the photo is a bit dark.  The corners are reverse applique.


I'm linking to Design Wall Monday, BOMs Away,  and Monday Making.

What's on your wall?

Hamilton

One of the treats of our quilt retreat was going to Hamilton - the home of Missouri Star Quilt Company in what is Quilt Town, USA.

Ten wonderful quilt stores to go to - each one dedicated to some aspect, theme for quilting : modern, kids, florals, batiks, solids, licensed fabric, traditional, notions - even a Man's Land.

From the Main Store

In the Pattern Shop

Man's Land - lots of big plush chairs, too!

Taking a break in the traditional store

Lots of quilts on the walls.

Of course, I had to buy a few items:

There was more, but I"ve given it to my daughter and to the guild's Door Prize committee. And I could have bought a lot more, but I only had one suitcase with me - lol.

If you have a chance to go, I do recommend it - sort of a quilter's dream destination.

Murals everywhere
