Outdoor Quilt Festival....

Ok so I ventured out to a farm here in Ohio...... for the Outdoor Quilt Festival.I had a good reason....Rachel from p.s. i quilt....she and I met there...for the first time. It was a great time....a bit drizzley...rainy but still good company will help you forget minor inconviences.Here she is next to her Christmas tabletopper quilt... And here is her Pinwheel Sampler quilt...it is stunning in person...I wanted to take it home..for real.

This is her Scruffily quilt...and I sooooo want to make one of these..and she made it with Hushabye..I ♥ that fabric line.


Then I just took tons of pictures...it was overcast and humid so the pictures of mine have a haze..still I decided to share some of my favorites.








Oh is that the sun? I think it did peek out for a bit...


I love this barn with the blue and white quilts..stunning presentation.
Here's the little gift Rachel brought me...a little bowtie quilt kit..I LOVE 1930's fabrics...
She's so thoughtful...
all in all it was a fab day.

WIPs from my cruise

This picture shows the improvisational log cabins we made with Vikki Pignatelli. I had a lot of fun doing this. Vikkie recommends that we finish the quilt with obscure angles. NO SQUARES! I am hoping that I will have time one of these days to finish it. These blocks were made from a kit of fabric that was given to us for the class with Margaret Miller. Sample Angle play...I bought ALL the templates..and I LOVE them so far. Some of you who kinda know me...know I love templates for piecing. I suppose that is why Vikki's class was so different for me. I really had to free myself in her class.
So I have to get back to sewing and writing instructions for a new MBS project. Ok this is a dumb question...but how can I make a PDF file a jpeg?? Is that possible? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks for stopping by...
