Congratulations to Wendy!

Wendy's free pieced barn quilt is a winner!!

Wendy was part of one of my local barn building classes

and I was so impressed with all the little extras she included

like the triple edged roof line,

the fussy cut and double-framed haymow,

and a secondary shuttered window with flowers.

She quilted her piece on her DSM

and took full advantage of the many different stitch styles

to lend even more interest and texture.

CONGRATULATIONS, Wendy -

WELL DONE!

AQS Virginia Beach - Quilt Sighting

It took some effort on their part,

but Tina (L) and her friend Jennifer (R)

were finally able to spend quality time

with The Seasonal Sampler

at the AQS Virginia Beach show.

They had searched and searched without luck

until they started asking AQS folks 

where they could find the quilt.

OOPS.

Somehow it had been missed 

during the frenzy of unpacking 

and getting the show ready to open.

The Sampler was quickly pulled from its traveling trunk

and displayed in the Author/iQuilt Showcase area.

Tina and Jennifer examined every little detail 

and shared that seeing the quilt in person 

was the highlight of their visit.

I am thrilled and amazed at how good 

The Seasonal Sampler looks after four-plus years 

of traveling all across the USA.

Seeing these photos is like visiting with an old friend -

thanks to Tina and Jennifer for sharing their visit.
