Boy Meets Quilt

Mark your calendars, everyone! And keep your fingers crossed that Mother Nature will get the rain out of her system these next few days so that Saturday, May 30, will have perfect weather for an outdoor quilt show presented by the !!🤞

If you're in the NYC area, come out to see over 50 beautiful art quilts for free. Make a day of it and picnic in Prospect Park before and/or after. I'll be there all day so be sure to say hello and chat when you come. Feel free to message me with any questions.

The outdoor quilt show has been postponed until Saturday, May 30. Same time, same location, and over 50 gorgeous quilts will be on display. Fingers crossed the weather cooperates this time!! 🙏

The outdoor quilt show is this upcoming Saturday, May 9th and I'm so excited!! I'll have two quilts on display, both of which look so much better in person because they are made with materials that interact beautifully with the light which can't be captured with my amateur photography skills. There will be over 50 quilts on display, all different styles and techniques. And the show is completely free!!! We're also just a few blocks from Prospect Park, so you can enjoy the sunshine all day long. I'll be there the whole time, so be sure to say hi!

When: Saturday, May 9th, from 11am to 4pm
Where: 245 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, NY 11215

A little sneak peek of my two most recent finishes. I'll have separate posts for each as soon as there's better lighting for photos but I couldn't wait to share a little of my creations. The first pic is my entry into the upcoming fence show put on by the on May 9th. If you're in the NYC area, come out and see the over 50 quilts that will be on display. It's totally free. (See my earlier post or message me for details.) The second pic is a quilt I made for the I'm so happy with how they both turned out!

It's almost time for another outdoor fence show presented by Brooklyn Quilters Guild, and everyone in the NYC area should come out to see the over 50 quilts that will be on display (including two of mine). What better way to enjoy the spring weather than being outdoors and ogling gorgeous works of art??!! I'll be there the whole day. Reach out with any questions. 🥳

and I had a fantastical time at this evening. It even snowed!! Magical!

This small 15.5" x 11.5" quilt is another pattern and thread study. I'm testing out a variation of one of my Xenobiology motifs for a larger project, and I also wanted to see how glitter thread works with an overall quilt design. The big learning from this study is that I think the glitter thread will work better as a sparkly highlight here and there because it kind of obscures the little quilting details in an overall pattern. But it sure is pretty! 😁

And thank you to for the thread!!

Took Mom and Dad to the United Nations today for a guided tour. I focused my photos on various textiles that have been gifted to the UN from member states. Such gorgeous examples of the highest craftsmanship. The last photo in this series is an enormous tapestry that apparently would wrap around the equator four times if it was completely unwound.

Another quilt sandwich has been pin basted. And once again I will spend many, many days trying to figure out how I'm going to actually quilt it. Oof. Makes my brain hurt. 😵‍💫
