There is nothing fancy about the quilting, but it is done. This was my ruler learning quilt. I have used rulers many times before, but I used some new ones for the first time on this quilt. I particularly enjoyed the circles. Now to make the binding and attach it. It is kind of funny I have a quilt done without a binding ready because I have a stack of 10 bindings rolled and ready for 10 other quilts that are not in need of one yet.

We're still crazy about two formidable sampler quilts: the 1863 quilt by Jane A. Blakely Stickle, and the 1870's quilt by Salinda W. Rupp. ...
Last weekend, Thing One and I spent a day at the fabulous Vermont Quilt Festival. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing all the quilts and shopping. I was, in fact, quite well behaved this year. My only purchases were 4 stitchery patterns, a huge (12000 yard) spool of thread for piecing, and this kit of inks and doodads for making marbled fabric with shaving cream. Think One watched Brian do a demo of this technique and she was enthralled. Once we talked to him about it, she was so excited about making marbled fabric that I couldn't resist buying the kit. So next week, while we are at the cabin my kids are going to make marbled fabric. While we were walking around the show, we were surprised to see a whole section of quilts were being 'rehung' according to the volunteer. I later heard that someone apparently bumped into one of the poles holding the racks and the whole row toppled over...that is such a scary thought...I just hope that no one was hurt. I'm going to show you some quilts from the show, but I'm probably NOT going to show the top prize winners because I've seen tons of pictures of those all over the place. Instead I'm going to show you some of the quilts that really caught my eye. I'm also mentioning the quiltmakers name and the quilts name as well as the fact that I saw them at the VERMONT QUILT FESTIVAL, 2008....in accordance with the program book guidelines for posting photos on a personal website (nice to see that spelled out, BTW, I've wondered if putting photos on my blog was legit or not) This year, the collection of antique quilts on display was focused on 1930s quilts. There were lots of very pretty ones, and many great examples of how different the same design looks when colored or set in a different way. One of my very favorite quilts in this display was this one, Postage Stamp, owned by Debra Grana. This has more than 8000 3/4" squares and was probably made in Pennsylvania. I love the way the quilter used the black squares in this quilt. This one also caught my eye and made me stand there looking at it for quite a while. I don't have good notes on this one, but looking at the book, I think this is the quilt labeled as A49 in the show book, Philadelphia Pavements. I surely would love to have this quilt here at my house. I love when I see a quilt in a traditional pattern that is set in a different way than you normally see. That was the case with this Tumbling Blocks Quilt (no information given in the book beyond the label of A 28, Tumbling Blocks. I liked this quilt, The Geese of Sturbridge Village by Ellinor Allen because the quilting was pretty neat. And those reproduction fabrics are yummy, too! I do think I need to go and buy this pattern. I wonder if I'd have the patience to actually complete this?? The quilt is Blueberry Pie by Betty Kisliner, and the pattern is Sampler Magic by Lori Smith. So pretty. I came around a corner and saw this quilt, and said to Thing One "Hey, That's a Carolina Crossroads Quilt from Bonnie!" Quick check in the book, and I was right! Mystery Leftovers by Kerry Mero. This is one of my 'someday' quilts. Sliced and Diced, by Jim Brown. The pattern is Trail Mix by Mabeth Oxenreider. Same design, totally different look. College Bound, by Avis Hayden. Hmm...I have a quilt in this design cut out in one of my bins in Christmas fabrics. I wonder if I'l get to it this year? LOL. This is Stars and Scraps by Marlene Bottesi. If I remember correctly, the pattern in the magazine was called Morning Star?

Vinyle - A finished quilt inspired by Debbie's Crosscut tutorial
Exploring the history and meaning of barn quilts, as well as designing and painting your own suburban barn quilt to brighten your own neighbourhood.
This one was a real find--also in Fayette County, Iowa. I passed by the barn and then hit the brakes and backed up for a closer look. The sounds of new age music seemed to emanate from the dozens of rose bushes; it was quite the unusual barn quilt experience! Brad Mackenzie was strolling through his gardens, enjoying what his wife, JoEllen, calls "our little hobby farm." The farmhouse borders a valley where deer, turkeys, coyotes, and eagles can be seen from the deck overlooking the spring-fed pond stocked with perch. The MacKenzie’s twenty-two acres might be called more of an “environment” than a farm, and passersby on Highway 18 often stop to take a second look at some of the 350 varieties of roses that Brad MacKenzie raises, or the peacocks that roam free on the property. The Rolling Star barn quilt completes the tableau. The idyllic setting has been carefully created, and JoEllen declares, “I don’t think we will ever be moving!” If they do, she has promised to let me know. I could definitely live here!
Trail Mix On 5 March, Quilts from Quiltmakers 100 Blocks hits the shelves. My quilt Trail Mix is one of the quilts in it. I designed it using my Indian Cabins block which appeared in Volume 6 of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks. My 7 November 2012 post shows a variety of quilt designs using the original version of the block I've tried coloring the block different ways and playing with the setting. I thought I'd show you some of the results. If you want the pattern for Trail mix, you'll find it in Quilts from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks. Or you might want to try playing with the Indian Cabins block to see what you can come up with.
