MQX Show

Sunday morning didn’t actually dawn until I was on the road to MQX.  The sunrise heading east was beautiful.  Bright and pink and playful behind the clouds and landscape of  eastern Westchester County.

I first saw the quilts of my friend Angela’s kids.  They each entered a quilt and went home with ribbons.  I’m asking Angela’s permission before posting the quilts on the blog.  Each of the kids quilted on Angela’s long arm.

Then I saw “Twilight in the Bronx”.  I knew earlier in the week that I’d not won a ribbon, what I didn’t know until Saturday is that Linda V Taylor awarded it a teachers ribbon.  Thank you Linda!  It was quite a delight.

There were a lot of outstanding quilts, including this beautiful Best of Show by Janet Stone.  Janet quilted “Red Letter Daze” on her Janome.  Way to go Janet!

Before I show the next quilt I must tell you that the first booth when walking in the door was the Superior Threads booth.  Yes!  I’ll show you the thread I purchased in a day or two.  I got a cone of one color to finish some major pebbling and swirling feathering on a quilt that is due shortly.

Sally Bramald of Feather on a Wire entered this delightful quilt of an elongated feather and incredible pebbling.

Sally pebbled and pebbled and pebbled!  One quilter nearby when I stopped to get this pic described the feather as a python, which I thought apropos as Sally is from the UK, though I don’t know if she’s a Monty Python fan.  Hmm, I’ll have to ask her that sometime soon.

 Mary Schilke (one of MQX’s owners) entered this quilt into a special Pictoral Exhibit.

It’s titled “Love Abides” and shows a dad holding his little one.

A sweet quilt from a sweet (photo) memory.

More tomorrow.

Happy Quilting!
