Although I’ve never been to the Asheville Quilt Show, my quilts have. And this year I get to go too!
I’m really looking forward to stopping in on Sunday to see my two quilts on display.
(And maybe I’ll do some shopping at the vendors too! Hah, “maybe.” I crack myself up!) Maybe I’ll see you there. Here’s the info.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you know that my mom and my sister and I go on a short trip together every year. Oh, we DO have fun! This year we went to New Orleans. It was fantastic! Intriguing culture, amazing food, and good company! We spent some time at the…
I was VERY impressed with the quits shown at the recent AQS show in Daytona. MANY of the quilts on display could have been winners in any show. This piece, made entirely of little black dots, garnered a lot of attention. The largest dots in this photo are about the size of a sequin. I…

In my last post, I showed you the start of several small pear collages. I had great fun with them as I continued to work with portions of my original pear picture, vintage linens, papers, and hand stitching. Here’s the completed version of the one in the last post, Pear Study #1. This is #2 complete. #3,…
I’ve been thinking about making a quilt inspired by this photo (composite) of my two brothers. I took quite a few photos that day and loosely merged 3 to get this composite. In the quilt I’ll leave out the extra arm and the clay pigeon thrower. This will be a special quilt for several reasons. –…
I’m going today! Sorry I will miss you, but I’m looking forward to seeing your quilts!
If I were in town I’d be there in a heartbeat. Would love to see you and the show. I’m at Wildacres however doing mosaic!
Happened to be on a quilt retreat in Cosby TN a couple years back during the Asheville Quilt. Love show and vendors.
What’s not to love? 🙂
