Time Flies

Oh, how Time Flies! It seems like just a few short weeks ago that we

started planning the 2020 Quilt Show. It is now a mere month before

your quilts must be photo ready and your entry forms turned in. Mark

and his team have worked tirelessly to assure that they are ready to

present your quilts. Now it is your turn to come through with quilts that

span the world of quilting. We want both pieced and appliqué, large

and small, traditional and art quilts, beginner and expert level. We

want to see them all. Challenges have been issued that don’t require a

large quilt… choose one and stretch your imagination.

I will admit I have not completed a quilt that I deem “Show worthy”. But

I do have many unfinished quilts in my sewing room each at different

levels of completion:

Some need bound

Some need quilted and bound

Some need borders added, then quilted and bound

Some need blocks sewn together, borders added, then quilted, and

bond

You get the point. I am starting with the ones that are closest to com-

pletion, not necessarily the most “Show worthy”. With this goal in mind

I hope that I can have 5 quilts ready to be photographed by the entry

deadline and completed before the turn in date. If my more complex

quilts do not get finished, that’s OK. There is always the next show.

Sew it Begins
