A Wannabee Quilter

In the back of my mind I've been thinking about learning to quilt, and a recent reconnection in blogland with a friend from long ago has moved those thoughts closer to the forefront.  I've been learning how-to's from reading Freda's blog and others, and soon hope to put these ideas into action ~ once I get a sewing machine.  I'm thinking this winter after market season would be dandy!

Yes indeed...that was the view from my front door last winter, a bit unusual for the coast, but I'd like to enjoy that again...but briefly.

A few days ago, my friend Susan phoned me and gave notice about a local quilt show happening "tomorrow", and would I like to go. Yes! 

Quilters By the Sea Guild had a beautiful display of local quilts, and I wanted to share some of them with you.

Oh!  But first, I was led to a little workshop where I made a yo-yo!

Now on to the quilt show!  Isn't this first one fun?!

ready for my close up!

 

Fish triangles

This quilt had a cute note attached

Look at the incredible depth!  And this one seams tedious! ;-)

So pretty in pink.

Wow, fabric portraits!

What talent!

I'll be posting more of these fabulous quilts in the next day or two, stay tuned!
