Too Windy For Anything - Let's Quilt!

The wind is blowing up to 60 mph here today!

I just pulled all of my flower pots up close to the house...

they all are getting a terrible beating out there!

The wind is straight out of the west

and packing some real PUNCH!

Everything on my south facing porch

is slowly sliding to the east!

As I sit here at my desk, I just 

hope the roof holds!

I'm sure I'll be gathering up shingles

when the wind lets up....

In the meantime

I've decided to take you to a quilt show!

I think my mother's quilting pals are getting ready for

another season of quilt making and I still haven't 

shown you all of the wonderful summer quilts 

over at Mrs. Z's!!!

So hang on to your hats and tag along

for some great summer

Baskets,

Flowers,

Hats, 

and 

Stitchery!!....

Sit back, relax,

get yourself a cup 

of tea 

this will be some eye candy

for those of you

who love to quilt 

and those of you

who just love a good 

blanket to snuggle under!

Last December I was a guest at 

the quilter's Christmas Brunch

hosted by Mrs. Z...

she was gracious enough to let

me take pictures of many of her 

quilts she has displayed around her house....

it was a lovely brunch 

and I took enough pictures to 

fill several blog posts!

I'm thinking Mrs. Z

could have her 

own cable show...

hmmmm.....

This busy quilting lady

has her hands full

making quilts

and helping others...

I'm just grateful she doesn't mind

me showing off all of her precious labors of love!

This sweet Flowers and Hats

pattern was a wall hanging in a spare bedroom...

The bed was covered with a queen size

quilted bedspread 

with a Flower Basket pattern...

All of the baskets done in blue

and every flower a different

cheery color of the rainbow...

Twila's quilt and my watercolor imagery

melded together in perfect harmony....

We go from soft shades of Spring and Summer

to...

SOFT wools  cut and made into

warm baskets of flowers 

to cover us for the winter!

This was my favorite,

just because of the interesting texture

the wool gave to the 

cut out images...

SEW many stitches!

the warm tones of blues, lavenders, golds, and browns...

One gorgeous show-stopping quilt!

Displayed hanging on a hand-made quilt rack

above the bed....

Awesome!

"Thanks again, Mrs. Z, for sharing

all of your beautiful quilts with us!

(and if you're interested in your own show

I'll have my people call your people:)"

I hope you enjoyed!

Have a great day and don't blow away,
