Monthly Mini Recap

Here’s a recap of 5 fantastic minis for July. Just click and see what we’ve been up to! And, if I have missed anyone this month, please let me know. I have finally fixed the Blogger e-mail problem – after 3 tries!

Kyle’s (Timeless Reflections) July quilt is right in season! Janet (Rogue Quilter) is mad for plaid with her adorable July mini.  Barbara's (Quilts, Gravestones and Elusive Ancestors) little quilt has an interesting story attached! And Randy (Barrister's Block) couldn't remember if it was her June or July quilt, but is so cute that we just don't care!

Do check them all out!

 Our state show - Maine Quilts 2018 - was last weekend and although everyone who volunteered is exhausted, we had a ball! It was a great show and as I mentioned in my last post we had a very special exhibit of Marjorie Lydecker's stunning quilts. It was simply fantastic to see so many of Marge's quilts in one place. Aren't they amazing? I tried to chose a favorite, but I couldn't. I loved them all. 

I did not get any great close ups, but Gladi (Gladi's Quilts) did and I highly recommend you pay her a visit to see the details. Thanks Gladi! 

I also enjoyed assisting Amy Milne (Quilter's Alliance) with her interviews, "Go Tell it at the Quilt Show". Each person was given up to 3 minutes to talk about the quilt they chose to bring. It was a wonderful experience for me to watch and I will post more on the participants later. Marge did her 3 minute talk in front of her quilts. 

I cried as she described this blue and white quilt that she made for her 50th Anniversary. She is such a treasure!

I didn't put anything into our judged section this year, but Pat Harrison gave me a NACQJ award anyway. What an honor! It was for my "Gooseberry Pie" potholder quilt that I made in the (Foothills) quilt sew-a-long with Mary Elizabeth Kinch. 

It was a quilt to make. Mary Elizabeth's book, Small Pieces, Spectacular Quilts is one of my favorites!
