International Quilt Show Ireland 2013

This quilt show was awesome. Each category was in a different room with specific decorating, applicable to the subject. ie, under the sea had shells and rocks, a big red,seahorse. Each venue had different sounds as well. Enjoy!



The tag on this reads April 1885 Soldiers Home Carnival.
























They even had quilts hung in a church. It was a religious theme.




















Taken at the Gala Evening where we had a champaign reception, dinner and the a show "A Trad on The Prom". Excellent!!!!!!!




Frog Quilter

A Last Minute Quilt

To take with me to Ireland. I can get the binding done on the long ride to Dublin. It will also double as show and tell, a nice quilt for all the beds I will sleep in. I am always more comfortable with a quilt from home.


The inner part, all the blue and yellow triangles were bought on eBay and converted to a quilt top. (Yes I know I have some poodling on one side, I'm Hoping it will even out after binding and washing.

The back


I used 80/20 batting, perma core thread on top and superior so fine on the bottom. Quilting was a leafy vine with a curly que.
