I finished my July mini last
night. I wanted something really quick and easy for such a busy month. Can’t
get much easier than 3” finished toiles with sashing. I like the way it turned
out though. And, best of all, it’s finished before the end of the month!
I love that Betsy Chutchian blue border fabric! It is from her Rachel Remembered line.
If you are in New England
over the weekend I’d love to see at our state show (Maine Quilts 2018) at the
Augusta, Maine Civic Center. It is always a good show.
There are a number of special
exhibits this year including some wonderful antiques from the New England Quilt
Museum, “Specimens” by Susan Carlson and “Not Patience, Perseverance” by a very
special friend, Marjorie Lydecker. I
cannot wait to see many of Marge’s spectacular quilts all in one place. She is one
of my idols!
I have three quilts in the
show this year. I finally finished my “Quilty 365” quilt so it will be there
along with 2 potholder quilts. One of the things I love about our show is that our
“judged” section is separate from the rest of the show. I think many people
(especially new quilters) would be intimidated to have their quilt judged and I
like that we encourage all quilters to enter their quilts. I love seeing first
time quilters join in the fun!
So, I hope you get a chance
to stop by!
I love your mini! What a brilliant idea to use the toiles, and the fabrics/colors are perfect.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could go to that quilt show. When we were in Maine a couple summers ago, I was unaware of the connection to all you quilty folks. What a missed opportunity!
cute little...oh i like that sashing fabric too....see ya in a couple!
ReplyDeleteSo many cute toiles!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the show- with I was closer.
What a great idea. I have a lot of toiles and I think I may use your idea!!
ReplyDeleteI am truly lamenting that I'm not there again this year for your show this weekend. That was such a great trip--loved the show and spending time with you and Gordon!
Can't wait to see pictures from the show!!
xxxxs,
You are so clever! What a fabulous way to use those toiles! The little stripe made a very interesting stashing. I love it. Have fun at the show. It would be fun to see your quilts too.
ReplyDeleteYour toiles made such a sweet mini! I always look forward to seeing how you use them. Your show sounds perfect for newer quilters as well as the more experienced, wish I lived closer so I could attend.
ReplyDeleteDid you name your toile mini with a food theme name?
ReplyDeleteOh, what a cute quilt! Love the idea of featuring toiles. Great border fabric, too! Have fun at the show and take lots of pics :)
ReplyDeleteLove this use of toiles. Feel like I am looking through tiny windows. Karen has a good question--what are you naming this?
ReplyDeleteI have my July mini finished, but can't seem to get a post written.
Sounds like a great show. Wish it was just down the road.
that is a lovely small quilt.
ReplyDeleteAdorable use of toile--and loving that border a lot..great job on this one hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty doll quilt, and such a clever title for your post!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo - I love all toiles! wonderful little quilt.
ReplyDeleteI hope to make it to Maine Quilts one day - have fun!
Absolutely love your mini quilt idea with the toiles! And I saw only one of your quilts last night at the preview of the show....will you take photos of them for me? I saw only the one with small squares and can't remember the name already!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for using toile fabrics! It looks like individual toile tiles. I love toile, so I may have to give this a try - thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet quilt - sort of a sophisticated I spy quilt - love those toiles!
