What a great weekend! I went to
Quilting in the Garden located at the Alden Lane Nursery in Livermore, California and got to meet, and take a picture with, Alex Anderson. I am on the right with my friend Julie on the left. We had a great day seeing all the quilts hanging up in the nursery and then we visited two quilt shops on the way home. FUN!! I did pick up a couple of new projects, two if which are below. I purchased Alex Anderson's pattern for The Grape Escape (which she signed) and even purchased some fabric for it and then pulled the rest from my stash. I also found this FANTASTIC mini-Baltimore Album style quilt called Miss Emilie's Garden. So cute, blocks finish at 5.25, and looks like a great hand project.
I seem to be having a few computer issues so I am unable to upload a bunch of my pictures from the quilt event but at least I was able to get these few up and running. Don't forget to check on Judy's blog to see all the other design walls!! I am sure I will have MASSIVE updates next week as I sink my teeth into these new projects (and I only have 5-6 on going ones also). Yikes.

ReplyDeleteIsn't Alex one of the most fun and down to earth people.
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous projects, Jennifer. Look forward to seeing these come to life.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing you and Julie with Alex! But a mini Baltimore album blocks that finish at 5.25"??? If I didn't think you were an over achiever before, I sure do now! Can't wait to see next Monday's post!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous fabrics with wonderful patterns. If I ever finished appliqué projects I might be tempted to do either of these! Good luck.
