At the VMQG meeting on Monday night, we had a block lottery with the theme – modernized disappearing 9-patch. I made my blocks on Monday afternoon. When you see all the entries together you can see what a wonderful quilt they would make! I didn’t win in the block lottery, but I did win a wonderful door prize – a quilt made by Laurraine of Patchwork Pottery.
On Tuesday, I went to visit my sister Anne for a couple of days. We drove down to La Conner and saw the Karin Franzen exhibit at the La Conner Quilt Museum – fantastic work! Anne and I had a wonderful visit – with a real focus on creativity and fiber art.
On Saturday, I will be participating in the Iron Quilter Challenge at the Fraser Valley Quilters Guild Biennial Quilt Show in Langley. The FVQG has 6 teams and they will each compete against a team from another guild. Our team, the VMQG Mod Quilters, will be competing at 10:30 on Saturday. Each team of 6 people must complete a quilt in 2 hours – 36 x 36 inches or larger, including quilting, binding and a label. It’s going to be a lot of fun!
And last night, I received some photos of the preschool quilt being presented to the teachers at the class graduation ceremony. I was told the quilt was very well received and the teachers loved it very much. Aren’t the kids cute in their graduation caps and hand-print t-shirts?
