It's always fun to put a few entries in the fair! People from all over come to see the quilting, sewing, and other fiber art entries even though they might not be sewists, themselves! And little kids come to be inspired to become crafters - we love that!
Here are the pieces I entered - all were fun to make and even more fun to share.
"Etoiles avec des chats"
["Stars with some cats"]
From Krista Moser's "Vintage Windmill" pattern.
Yes, there are CAT fabrics sprinkled in this. Plus some actual vintage fabric.
"Wonderful Web"
Traditional spiderweb pattern that I drafted.
Foundation pieced on interfacing.
Quilted with a Baptist Fan pantograph.
Yes, there are cat fabrics in this one, too.
Reserve Best of Class!
"Summer Salute"
Again, from Krista Moser's "Summer Swag" pattern.
Red Ribbon
No cats in this one.
"Penguin Playtime"
Pattern from Quiltmaker Magazine Nov/Dec 2021
Blue ribbon.
A clothespin bag featuring kittens doing their mitten laundry
from a vintage embroidery pattern.
Bag design is my original, inspired by Laura Coia of Sew Very Easy.
