a couple more meanderings

I really love all of the quilts that I get to meander all over...

so much talent,

so much creativity,

so much drooling...

wait, not really the drooling part, really,

 but I do like both of these that I got to do so far this week ...

First up is Ann's. 

Ann found these unfinished dresdens,

piecing that her grandmother and mother started in 1932,

I believe.

She rescued them, put them to blocks,

added sashings and borders, and look how great:

 Next is a newer pattern called Milton's Musketballs.

I did Sashiko stitching in a chocolate brown thread

(and I love it).  This finished at about 25" x 30".

This is a Carol Hopkins design,

and now that I've seen it and quilted it,

I think I am adding it to my "I will make one, someday" list.

On a different note,
I am packed and ready to head off to the International Quilt show. 
It's only a couple of hours ride, but you'd think it was longer,
looking at the stitching stuff I packed!

That's the plan though,
I am going to get soooo much hand stitching done in those few hours!
