A few more finishes

Charms and White

This Jewel Box was the mystery quilt taught by Joanne at this year's retreat. I decided to piano key the border to incorporate leftover pieces.

The Charms and White was taken from a table runner picture I saw as a way to use those pesky charm packs that look so nice then you don't know what to do with them. I think I'll make a few more .

The Rectangles was a dolly of the month pattern but it morphed into a crib size. Another good scappy one.

The Puzzle was an old leftover Scrapbag kit that I brought home to finish. Not one of my favorites but a finish none the less.

The Puzzle and Rectangles will go to Scrapbags, the Charms to the Linus Project at the Guild and I'm undecided about the Jewel Box.

Ashley's baby's quilt

Here's a cute flannel puppy panel that I bought a while back. A co-worker Ashley had a cute little baby boy in May and we had a shower for her recently. I made up this quilt for baby Jax. I free motioned around the puppies.

Show Season

The Quilt Show spring season is over for the local area for the summer. This year we took in Ailsa Craig for Quilts of Denmark, the St. Mary's show, Fergus with a side trip to the Greenwood Quiltery in Guelph and finally "It's the Berries" in Goderich, the prettiest little town in Ontario. I had never been to that part of Goderich before and it is so pretty that it's worth the trip. That part survived the tornado of a year ago.And I can't believe that I forgot my camera each time. Since it's strawberry season, big servings of strawberry shortcake were on the menu in Goderich. I can't believe that I couldn't eat the whole piece, me whose favorite food group is carbs!! It was delicious though!
Now to get some work done over the summer for my Guild's show in October, "For the Birds" in Kincardine.
