So, I'm going to Quilt Con tomorrow!
It's only an hour away,
so WHY NOT?
CraftyDaughter is humoring her mom once again
and taking the day off
to accompany me.
How lucky am I?
Bless her heart! It's either nature or quilting.
The poor girl doesn't have a chance!
I'm not a modern quilter
by any stretch of the imagination,
so it will be fun to
broaden my horizons
and get a few lessons in thinking outside the box.
The above picture is my whole modern quilting repertoire!
A wonderful cushion top designed by
Scrapmaster (Linda)
and published last fall in
the Quilter's Connection magazine for Candadian quilters.
(Yeah, it's still hanging on the wall
waiting to be turned into a pllow!
It seems to me that
Modern Quilting is as much about the FMQ magic
that has been performed on these unique quilts
as the quilt pattern designs themselves.
New to FMQ, I am looking forward to observing this art form
up close and personal.
There's no telling
who I'll meet!
I'm pretty excited!
The Quilt Con sounds like a fun time for you and your daughter.. I would love to see some of the exhibits myself.. Enjoy your day..

ReplyDeleteOh I'm so jealous you're going to Quilt Con. I live just 2 hours from there and would have loved to meet up with you. But sadly I'm in the frozen tundra of Illinois headed back to warm and sunny Texas to meet the moving truck. Love the modern quilt too! You're gonna love Quilt Con. Have fun and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSounds like lots of fun especially since you'll be with your sweet daughter. Hope you take lots of pictures and post them. Nola

ReplyDeleteOh man, I wish I still lived in San Antonio....love the modern quilting
ReplyDeleteWell how fun - pictures please!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good time. I am waiting to hear about it.
ReplyDeleteI was at QuiltCon Friday ! Darn ! But I really don't know what you look like. I was standing in line at the Kona booth waiting to play a game and a thin woman with long wavy hair in a terra cotta colored shirt was looking at the color cards. Had her jacket tied around her waist....please don't tell me that was you and we were that close and never knew it !
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about your experience at QuiltCon. Thanks for the shout-out. Your FMQ is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove the pillow! It looks great! Hope you had a great time at QuiltCon :) Can't wait to hear about it :)
ReplyDeleteI would go if it was only an hour away too.
