DIGITAL DOWNLOADS OF BALTIMORE RHAPSODY NOW AVAILABLE!


Baltimore Rhapsody has joined the digital age!  The blocks are now available as digital downloads on my webstore.  That means instant gratification and NO SHIPPING CHARGES!

The journey continues with this quilt project.  It started with me unsuccessfully looking for music patterns to make, which forced me into quilt designing.  That, in turn, forced me into pattern self-publishing and a whole painful world of desk-top computer work, LOL!.

The quilt won first place in the Bed Quilt-Applique-Hand Quilted category and Best of Show Bed Quilt at Sauder Village in Norhwest Ohio the week I lost my parents.  (Thanks Mary for taking pictures and picking up my quilts after the show...)



Next, it traveled to AQS Grand Rapids and won Viewer's Choice.




Then it traveled to AQS Chattanooga and won Viewer's Choice...again!



Then, it went to Shipshewana, Indiana.


Then it went to AQS Paducah...



Then off to Houston for the IQA International Quilt Festival...thank you Barbara for the pictures!


And currently, it is in Chicago at that IQA show...thanks again, Barbara, for the pictures!


I am hoping it comes home now...I have not touched it since last July.  It has been touring since Houston, and I am not even completely sure where it has been.  It is definitely better traveled than I am, LOL!

I appreciate everyone's support in this project!

In stitches,
Teresa   :o)

My new project..."QUEEN MARY'S GARDEN © 2018"

Image
Mary, Queen of Scots was born in Scotland on December 8, 1542.  Her parents were King James V of Scotland and the King's second wife (from France), Marie of Guise.   She is pictured above at age seven. Of all six of his children, Mary was the only child to outlive him who was legitimate of birth. At the age of six-days-old, Mary's father, the King, died.  As he had been on his death bed at the time of her birth, he never even saw his new daughter.  Nevertheless, at six days of age, Mary became the Queen of Scotland and the newest ruler from the House of Stuart.   A Reagent would rule in her place until she was older. Mary was sent to school in France, where she was taught many things including embroidery and other textile arts.  She loved needlework and had quite a talent for the beautiful variety of complicated and expressive stitches.   She was a lifelong fan of embroidery and would come to lean on her artistic abilities through her life as ...

Pictures from the AQS Fall Paducah Quilt Show...

It was a quick trip to the AQS Fall Paducah Quilt Show in Kentucky, but my first time to visit Paducah. I was blown away by the number of quilts on display, in multiple buildings, both contest and exhibition.  What I saw and could take pictures of was merely a drop in the proverbial quilt bucket.  I currently have a bit of a gimpy foot, so my viewing was limited. Next time I need to stay more than one night! I managed to get pictures of 40 quilts to share.   One of the most impressive quilts was one I couldn't get anywhere near for even one picture..."Hawaiian Improv," by Cheryl See.  It won in the large quilts, hand quilted category.   (She also won a first prize in a second category.)    Beautiful hand quilting!  It was one of the first place category winners which is involved in the voting for the super huge money prizes tonight.  You can see it on the AQS Fall Paducah web site.  The maker was giving detailed tours of her quilt to sma...
