Backtracking and International Quilt Show

Yikes, I have gotten behind on my Deck-ade B O M

from Fat Quarter Shop.

But it's never too late to catch up!

 

I just finished the ornament row.

I love how this all comes together 

and how the pattern is just so

easy to follow. The background fabric

is perfect "snow" fabric. 

I am having a lot of fun making it...

I especially love the fact that I will have it done

before the holiday's!

I have to make the stockings next and

also the wreath and presents.

I plan on getting them done before the 19th,

that's when the Tree block will be released.

If you haven't gotten the free patterns yet

hop on over to FQS. I have the kit and I think it would be fun

to make just a table runner or a wall hanging from the 

scraps also. 

Have you seen any of the You Tube tutorials they have for Deck-ade yet?

Backtracking to the weekend event...
Here are some photos from the quilt show in Long Beach...
The modern and contemporary group...

 

 

This one is an aerial view of someones neighborhood that got
evacuated during a recent fire. The black spaces are actually
parts of the quilts that are cut out... the houses that didn't
survive the fire. The red one is marking the spot where
the quilter's house was.

 

 

 

 

a landscape...

 

Black and white...

 

and a seascape.

I am always amazed at the work of quilt artists.
