Ever since Mom and I started quilting we've gone to the
Lake Farmpark Quilt Show, preferably over vendors weekend so I can indulge my love of fabric and notions and see the quilts at the same time. Every year I say I am a quilter and I should get something done and enter it in a show. I make a number of quilts every year (11 for 2013) but they often aren't "show worthy" or I give them away and they're not available to hang in a room for six weeks. This year I decided it would be different. After a flurry of activity which included deciding I'd finish a project, to deciding to finish another project, to starting a completely new project, basting project number two, and then quilting project number three, and then back to deciding to go with number one I finally got it bordered, basted, quilted, and bound and off to the Farmpark yesterday. I'm not expecting to win any prizes (I know where all of the mistakes are), but I am happy it's done and I'm excited to see it hanging in the show.
The pattern is
Vintage Holiday by
Camille Roskelley, and the fabric is a combination of Countdown to Christmas by Sweetwater
and Christmas Countdown by Deb Strain for Moda.
