Things are not always as they seem. Would you
believe that this is a 12″ x 12″ miniature framed quilt?
At the Tokyo Quilt Festival they do not have a Miniature Quilt category.
Instead they have a Framed Quilt category which is miniature quilts in frames.
This little beauty is so finely pieced, it just boggles the mind. For those of
us who love piecing quilts, this kind of precise work is a special kind of
challenge…or a special kind of crazy? But we love oohing and aahing over all
kinds of amazing mind-blowing quilts, don’t we?
The artist’s name was not spelled out so I pasted the tiny name card onto the
tiny quilt image so she has credit where it is due!
This morning I am flying to QuiltCon so I can present an award at the ceremony
tonight in Austin Texas. I will be walking the show Thursday and Friday so if
you see me there please do stop and say hello! I am also going to the SAQA
event Friday evening, so I hope to see many of you there.
I am going to be photographing the show so next week, for those of you who can’t
go in person, I’ll have images to share with you. I also have a cousin in
Austin and we are going to get together and work on the family tree one night.
We have many ancestors who lived in Texas 100 years ago, so it seems
appropriate to explore those branches of the tree while on this trip!
We are preparing to cut the kits for MJ
Kinman‘s Elizabeth
Diamond Workshop coming up March 6-8. (You can do the Rainbow Unicorn
multicolor – or the Classic Blue Diamond from our kits.) Those new products are
going online in the next couple days, and if you purchase a kit and attend the
class, you can save on shipping and just pick it up in the classroom when you
arrive.
MJ is always a blast and we are so excited to have her returning
to our eQuilter classroom. Her Gemstone piecing is not quite as intricate
as the tiny quilt featured above, but it is for Intermediate quilters or
higher. Hope you can join us!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
