Bluebird Machine Quilting

So I had the opportunity to get some 3 yard cuts of 108” wide Riley Blake Letters From Home at a really good price….it’s even prettier than I expected. Perfect for a wide range of quilts and timely for patriotic/250th /Quilts of Valor. $48.00 each plus sales tax. (Plus shipping if not local) That’s like $16.00 a yard for wide back. Comment, call or text me and I’ll update the post when they are gone.

Quilted for Amy! She caught the quilting bug a year ago and is doing fabulous work.

So for the first time in many years I can say….I love the concept fabric for this years Central Kansas Shop Hop. Each shop has an optional larger panel and they are epic! Available for preorders…. Follow the Facebook group to check out the options.

Each Shop has a unique bison panel. They will be available as a large 36 x 42 panel and there will also be a small version along with a pieced block in this year’s block kits.

This is Yanasi from Needle In A Haystack at Severy, KS

I restarted quilting last week, easing into it with some customer work and one of my own (guess whose show quilt isn’t quite done???) Anyway, back to the normal schedule, drop offs, pickups and quilting! (Photo by Sonya)

What to say…what to say…I am home,thanks to and extremely grateful for, fellow quilter Joni Schon. Who when the airlines failed me in Dallas met me at the door with wine, the cutest English Bulldog ever, a comfortable bed and shower. In the morning she started me off with the best chocolate pastry I’ve had, even in France, and coffee before taking me to the rental car office. It was an easy and peaceful drive home from Dallas. I just couldn’t face another day of waiting for a flight that may or may not happen. So Joni…. Thank you so much! Another example of how quilting brings the very best people into our lives. ❤️

Last day of someone being responsible for my logistics. Second photo is a lavender still. Onward to Paris.

Hiked up and explored the historic ruins of the Fort of Buoux. Didn’t take many photos out of concern of dropping the phone. But it was the best hike of the week, got the hot exposed out of the way and finished in the shade of the creek.

Looking down from above the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Senanque where they are know for their lavender and honey production, not quite ready to bloom yet. Formed in 1148. Lavender and honey panna cotta for desert.
