Hand Quilting
Long term ...and I mean long...These vintage Dresden Plate pieces were given to me 28 years ago in Oklahoma.

I appliqued them on to background squares and didn't get back to them until I started quilting seven years ago. The green material is a faux border, until I finish quilting the center.

The border is a surprise, see idea below. It is fun!

Churn Dash blocks on my design wall, deciding on a border.
Border added and quilt is pinned. Ready to quilt.....soon. November deadline.

Santa Cruz County Fair
The Santa Cruz County Fair was in September. I entered my hand pieced and hand quilted postage stamp quilt. I was inspired from an antique quilt I saw years ago in a magazine about a quaint B&B. Which won first place.

This next quilt I entered in the machine piece and quilted section. It won honorable mention.

This is my art quilt. I worked on this piece in a class that I took. I entered it last minute thinking "why not?". I was shocked to find that it won first place AND best of section!
