More Pictures from the Sunday Gathering and a sneak peek of Quilt Show items



As promised, I have some more close up pictures of the crazy blocks from last Sunday............













These are close ups taken of Gaila's block. 


We had a show and tell when the two Judy's brought their projects.  These two gals get so much done and everything they do is great!


You just have to see this one in real life to appreciate it.  Great job Judy (she is going to let me take it to the Wichita, Kansas quilt show  'Common Threads 2010')  Thank you Judy.  I will be vending there on
June 25-27, 2010.  Think I counted 58 vendors.





It's hard to tell, but the baskets are woven strips of wool.


Judy is ready for her borders.....can't wait to see that!

Really been working hard to get ready for the quilt show and a couple gals have been hard a work making samples for me.  Take a look at Dewees' geranium pillow................it's gorgeous !!!!

How about this one?  It is really cool!



Anyway, I best get back to work............
Til later,
Carolyn

Crazy Woolies Gathering....... Sunday, May 16th


We had a fun day with the Kansas Crazy Woolies
I offered some specials of wool bundles which they had a good time finding just the right one
 (or two or three)
I took a lot of pictures and will scatter them out over the next few days. 

Judy made her crazy quilt block into a large pillow that was really unique.

The center of Judy's pillow.



This is the starting of Gaila's blocks and the next three pictures will show her progress!!!






She has really been busy the last month, don't you agree?

A couple of post ago, I showed you Dewees' block and here it is all ready to frame.


Will have more later so watch for close-ups and other projects that were at the show and tell.


Til later,
Carolyn

Marilyn's Block


Hello to all on this rainy Sunday morning! I just received the pictures of Marilyn's first block.  I emphasize "first" because I think she is addicted.  She was telling me all of her plans for other blocks she is going to do in the future.  Marilyn is part of the Missouri Crazy Quilters. 










Aren't they great.  Thanks Marilyn (and Vicki, her daughter) for the pictures.  We are having our monthly meeting for the Kansas Crazy Woolies this afternoon so hope to share more pictures with you. 
Til later,
Carolyn

Back in Kansas




We arrived back in Kansas over a week ago and we were only here one day and Ron, my husband, had to go to the hospital for a week.  That was not expected!  So I am trying to get back into the groove of things.  Mainly, I am trying to get ready to vend at the Wichita quilt show which will be held the last weekend in June.  I am trying to get kits ready, dye wool, package patterns and make sure everything is just right.  What an undertaking for me.  Anyway, when I was in the shop, Dewees stopped by to show me her block and it is really good lookin'.













We will be having our monthly gathering of the Kansas Crazy Woolies this Sunday so hope I have more pictures to show you.
Til next time,
Carolyn
