Paducah and Busy in the studio

Last week was the AQS quilt show in Paducah, KY. The weather was raining off and on, the water was rising and the floodgates were closed on Monday, the show will go on. The Main Expo Center is on the wrong side of the flood walls, I have no idea why it was built on the wrong side but it was. Anyways AQS really scrambled to move quilts and get vendor"s spaces all ready I congratulate them for a job well done. We moved in on Monday and the closing of the walls didn't effect us any or any of the shops downtown. This show was the best I have done in Paducah, everyday sales were up and I went home a very tired happy camper.

Today it was time back in the studio, I got a quilt quilted for a client, it was a Relay for Life quilt, I quilted and bound it. It will hang in different places to raise money for such a good cause.

Tomorrow I will be quilting another quilt and Wednesday we leave for KC for another quilt show. Another busy week here at Mamaw's Handdyes.

Client's Quilt

The past week or so I have been back to quilting. Here is the latest quilt I finished yesterday for a client. The panto I used is called Rita's Feathers.

Handdyes and quilts

These pieces I did using the dry soda ash technique, I really like the texture I get doing it this way.

This piece I did using the snail technique, I still have trouble getting it to go all the way through the whole yard.

This little quilt is called Autumn Crossing by Jo Morton, I used the fabric line Compliments for it so it's not to Autumny. I used a panto called Happy Times to quilt it, I re-sized it by making it 50% smaller and it worked well.

This is a clients quilt, she used the fabric from Crown Royal bags and made a pineapple block using the no wast pineapple method. I really like how this quilt turned out she did a great job.
