Sister quilt fair and update

Wow it has been way to long since I have updated!
Well earlier this month Sisters had their annual quilt show. It was amazing! So many quilts to look at. I went with a good friend of mine and I think between the two of us we took over 200 pictures. I figured I would post some of my favorites and the ones that have inspired me the most. I have so many projects to start now!!
I thought this one was simple but AMAZING!

Of course this one caught my eye since I LOVE zebras! (if you can't tell)

the friend I was with loves birds, and this was very creative

So whimsical!


I think this one caught my eye because its the fabrics I love which is weird because they aren't fabrics I would pick OTB themselves

I just might have to try this pattern!!

again fabrics I love!!! I saw this one from 2 streets away!

close up! Isn't it amazing!!

I actually have the pattern for this one. It's nice to see it in person.

I LOVE this border fabric!!!!

Okay this quilt was amazing! And selling for $1000. It's Alice and Wonderland there was no paneling used, which makes it even more amazing!

look at these details! I think the mad hadder hat was my favorite.


We're all mad here...

more fabrics I love and look at that pattern! All the blocks are the same just set differently. I'm all for making life easier!

It just POPS!

this peacock was amazing!!!

Look how beautiful!

more birds! I love the colors on this one as well

inspiration for my Dr. Seuss quilt I'm making.

I couldn't get a good picture because the wind was blowing up it's artsy right?


That's all for the quilt show.


If you are the person I am making the Dr. Seuss quilt for do NOT scroll down! I want it to be a surprise! LOL









I have also been working on my Dr. Seuss quilt for a friend. I am having some issues with the fact that apparently I can not measure. Right now the top is 3 inches bigger than the middle and bottom rows. I am thinking of just adding material to the bottom 2 rows and making it unbalanced.It's Dr. Seuss he's random and unbalanced right?! So here are pictures of what I have so far.
