Vintage View Quilt Show March 14-16 in Raleigh

My local quilt guild, Capital Quilters, is co-sponsoring a quilt show this weekend, along with the Carolina Longarm Association.  I have been an active member of both groups in the past, but have not participated much in the past two years.  However, I can recommend this show as one with lots of exceptional quilts and quality vendors.

It will be held this year at the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.

My First Blog Post

Welcome to my first blog posting! I hope to use this blog to publish my current quilting projects. I like to do bed-size quilts as well as smaller art quilts, even fabric postcards. Right now I am trying hard to finish three quilts for the Capital Quilters Guild show in Raleigh, NC on March 9-11. Last time our guild had a show, I swore I would not enter any "unfinished" projects. Did I follow this rule? No! I have to turn in the quilts on Friday. Two are finished, and I am sewing on the sleeve and label for the third this weekend. Dave and Emily's Wedding Quilt will be in the show. Since the theme of the show is Olde and New, I entered a quilt I finished for my sister-in-law. It was started by her grandmother in the 1970's, and I quilted it with lots of custom feathers.
