yoc2: pink + green & other stuff…
My blog apparently suffered from a bit of neglect last week and the week before… So I am going to try to post again once a day this week.
Yesterday, Ben and I went to a quilt show in a neighboring town… He was sweet enough to go with, since I really wanted to go and didn’t feel like going by myself. It definitely was inspiring to see all of those quilts and read a bit about all the work it took to make them! I can’t imagine hand-quilting something, I am definitely a bit short on patience:) Although I do want to make a quilt now even more than before (although I definitely plan on machine quilting it!).
(Picture is of only part of the quilt because the rows of quilts were too close together to get it all in. A wide angle lens would solve that… Although I sort of want a macro lens before a wide angle one:)
I also decided to join in on “A Year of Color 2” (for more info see link to flickr group). This weeks colors… pink + green
I have no idea what this flower is, but it looked fascinating. I wasn’t brave enough to touch it, but the texture looked fairly soft and fuzzy.
I am working on a couple of projects, but can’t share yet since it is part of a swap I am participating in. Hopefully tomorrow I will have some other crafting stuff that isn’t swap related to show:)

That quilt is beautiful. I’m an instant gratification gal and I can not imagine the time that it takes to make a full-size, hand-quilted quilt.
Your photo is pretty too :)
That 9 patch quilt is so pretty. It’s hard to work with so much white because it’s a bit boring, but oh so pretty once the quilt is together. Stunning! Don’t give up on hand quilting…it’s faster than you might think!
Yes! Make a quilt. Once you start you won’t be able to stop. I recommend that you start with something smallish though - not a king size quilt.
the quilt show sounds inspiring - yes! you should make a quilt- i’d love to see what you do.
That really is nice of him to go with you. I’ve been thinking I’d like to go to the quilt show in Houston in October and I also don’t want to go by myself. I have a couple of friends that might be interested. We’ll see. :o)
Those flowers are called Cock’s comb (like a rooster, not like something dirty, lol). They are very, very soft!
