Sheer Whim at NQA Show
My sweet hubby and I had the opportunity to go to the NQA show today, and I was thrilled to see that “Sheer Whim” won a third place ribbon in the Art/Innovative category. (Sorry for the lousy picture! Can you believe I only took one, and it was fuzzy? Oh, well.) It was lots of…

2011 International Quilt Festival in Cincinnati
As I mentioned earlier, today we went to the International Quilt Festival in Cincinnati. It’s been five years since I’ve been able to attend the big IQF show in Hoston, so it was a lot of fun to be able to run down to Cincinnati to see this show. There were vendors galore! Row after…

Quilting with Machines
Yesterday my sweet hubby and I drove our hand-me-down RV up to Huron, Ohio to see the “Quilting with Machines” show. I also registered to take a couple of classes with Patsy Thompson. My first class was bright and early at 8 AM. I hurried in a few minutes late, but once I had everything…

2010 NQA show
Today my mom and I had the opportunity to see the NQA (National Quilting Association) show in Columbus, Ohio. My dear hubby played chauffer, so we were pampered with door-to-door service. The show was really nice; very well laid out, wide aisles, great vendors, terrific quilts. Everything you want in a good quilt show! Plus,…

Behind the scenes
I’ve been entering quilt shows since the mid 1990’s. In fact, the National Quilt Association show was the first national level show I ever entered. But, in all the shows I’ve entered, I’ve never had the opportunity to see how the judging takes place behind the scenes. Since the NQA show takes place in Columbus,…

Preparing for the MVQG show
I belong to the Miami Valley Quilters’ Guild. Today I had the fun of helping to prepare for my guild’s quilt show. I was one of the people checking in the quilts that were to be in the show. It was fun watching all the behind-the-scenes activity: sorting the quilts by category, setting up the…
