Quilts, Quilted, Quilting…..and more

 "A day patched with quilting seldom unravels"

When we sleep under a quilt, we sleep under a blanket of love.

Don’t you just love a good quilt…old, new, raggy, bright, pieced, appliquéd, all sewn together with love, talent and lots of patience! ---Patience which I do not have!--- I like projects that do not take long to complete. I started a quilt years ago and my mother-n-law had to finish it! I’ve since started another one because a dear lady I used to work with was always quilting and I thought it would be fun ---again---hahaha…well needless to say…it’s NOT finished and I do not see a finish in its future! It’s really beautiful…BUT! Quilting is an art I appreciate and admire but do not possess the talent for!

I visited the Wiregrass Heritage Festival at Landmark Park, Dothan, Al. on Saturday. It was one of the biggest quilt shows I have ever seen. They were beautiful!

I had friends there working a booth and showing quilts….etc. It was fun.

My friend and wife of Jackie’s cousin, Janan Doster; had her quilt on display. It is the "Log Cabin" pattern and was quilted by June Baumann.  Isn't it beautful?

Janan also had her "Raggy Jacket" she made and won Second Place in the competition. It was made using a Marjorie Webb and Sandra Noah pattern by Four Corners. Yay Janan!!

 This beautiful flag quilt was made by Joan Kloenne from Dothan, Al.

This one---so beautiful----was made by Julie C. Green from Dothan, Al.

using a Jackie Robinson pattern called "Reel Fine".

...and who doesn't just love this?
