Hello hello -
It has been a busy month. In quilting, I am finishing up my Ladies' Aid New York Sampler which was a Barbara Brackman block of the month from 2021.
Each block features appliqué hearts in the corners. I added sashiko hearts in the border to sort of complete that four-hearts motif.
I used Fun with Barb's excellent fan stencil to mark the top!
And in other news... just some very random recent snippets in an effort to "catch up" with my blog!
I got notice from the New England Quilt Museum that one of my quilts has been accepted into an exhibit this fall. I'm tickled pink! This exhibit of Gwen Marston-inspired quilts is being curated by Barb Vedder. Thank you Barb!
Tried to get some photos yesterday before Easter dinner ;)
Last week David planted some herbs at the entrance to our town house - love it!
We continue to make our house feel like home. I love this small kintsugi-inspired print by the young artist Paige Payne:
A quick strawberry picking outing with Kaela and Charlotte last week -
Forty days until the lovebirds Camille and Tommy get married!

Congratulations on having a quilt in an upcoming NEQM exhibit! I will definitely plan to see it and probably show a photo on my blog🙂. Your BB BOM quilt is looking great!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have a quilt in the upcoming exhibit. Loved your Easter photo LOL. It might be awhile before everyone is smiling and looking at the camera. Barb's stencil works in so many situations. Looking great!
ReplyDeleteYour Ladies Aid quilt is beautiful. Lovely Fan markings for its quilting too. I love how you add your signature touch of the sashiko hearts, nod to your time in Japan.
ReplyDeleteLovely family, looks like Easter and spring in NC are wonderful.
And big congrats on your quilt being accepted into the upcoming exhibit.
I love your Ladies' Aid quilt in those soft colors and Barb's fan stencil is the perfect quilting choice. Congrats on your quilt being accepted into the NEQM Exhibit! Very exciting!
ReplyDeleteI love the touches of sashiko on your Ladies Aid quilt. Congratulations on your quilt being accepted for the NEQM exhibit this fall. I hope nearby bloggers will feature a lot of photos from the exhibit so we can all enjoy. Those babies are getting so big! Such a lovely Easter photo.
ReplyDeleteYour sampler looks wonderful with your personal touch of sashiko hearts in the border. I am using Barb's stencil to machine quilt one of my quilts--but my shoulder hasn't helped me much, so I am going very slowly--just a fan now and then. It will get finished eventually. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your quilt being accepted for the NEQM show. Wish I could get there to see that one.
So many fun things going on in your family. Hope you had a happy birthday?
Are you very involved in the wedding prep, or are they handling it themselves?
That's quite an undertaking to sew all those curves with your machine. It looks great. Congratulations on getting your quilt accepted in the show. Happy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Baptist Fan pattern stitched over the top of applique quilts. Looks so good!:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and exciting spring for you! I cannot wait to see the special Gwen exhibit with all of my friend's quilts!
