Wordless Wed 327~ House Overtaken

 

 

Now the "Not Wordless" part.

Since April, I, along with a lot of help from Mr. G's family,

have slowly been cleaning his place

which was where I lived when I first met him.

Then I bought a larger home for my hobby,

and he moved there.

I never finished moving my things.

Now I'm finishing that,

plus bringing some of his things and pieces of furniture here.

It's been a VERY hard process.

Took me 6 months just to pull up emotional and physical strength to go there.

Thanks to God, my physical strength is building back.

I'm putting away things one piece at a time.

I know this will take time.

Quilt Shots 148~ Elkhorn Creek 2022 Quilt Show: Part 4

 

The 2022 theme was 

"Friendship"

 Continuing from Part 1,

Part 2 

and Part 3

 

now that the show is over,

and for the purpose of having a record,

I'm showing the talents

in multiple posts.

These are what I would classify as

"Special"

which include pieces made by our sister city

Japanese quilters

enJOY!

 

The table quilt that greeted visitors

to our free quilt show.

A signature quilt. 

Each block was made by a member,

and signed with a special note

for our co-founder and leader of the guild 

for about 35 years!

Thank-you so much Earlene.

Thankfully, she still leads our QOV group.

That means for several years

she took on the responsibility of leading both groups!

 

 

The following pieces were sent to us

by quilters in our sister city Tahara in Japan.

 

Thank you for checking out the quilt show.

I hope you can come see the show in person next year.

It is free

and much more meaningful to see in person.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words,

but seeing quilts in person becomes

more like a

million words.

After, who knows if pictures will be taken next year?

Tuesday Tutorial~ Upcycled Dog Food Bag

 

      My neighbors have a dog, so they save me their dog food bags, rather clean I might add, so I can play with them. I'm trying to design a bag easy to make and use.

    Since this one is plastic, my neighbor said it would be good for carrying wet doggie toys.  I'm sure there are other uses.

    There is a bag with a dog on the  front waiting to be made. Probably would bring more smiles and chunks of meat?

Take a very close look at the quilting on this one.

It is a free motion work, not computerized.

Also, the pattern was screen captured from computer

and projected on wall.

A technique that more are beginning to use.

 

By a club member that moved back to Japan.

Part 4 is the conclusion of the show.

It will include a very special Guild quilt

and pieces of work sent to us 

by members of our sister city in Japan.

Even the quilt on the Quilt Show Host table.
