Thanks for the pictures Clara,

Here is another one finished, just needs to dry & be labeled before registering & posting.

That turned out so well, Rosemary--love the detail work with the decorative stitching on the binding as well as the quilted stars interspersed here and there.

I couldn't have put it better myself. Thanks for the photos Clara.

Rosemary,that is a fun pattern for a big quilt too. Humm. Love the detail on the binding. Clever. Clara

The binding is actually the backing brought over to the front, next time I will cross the corners over the other way around so they lay a bit neater when machining. Using one of the fancy stitches on my maching to sew the binding down means that slight wobbles don't show up :wink: and is quicker than slip stitching by hand 8) the only hand stitching was using water soluble to baste the binding down, so even that comes out easy. I make the fast finish triangles separately and turn them through and even managed to get them sewn on whilst doing the binding. Makes for a lovely fast finish

Would you believe????? In Clara's pictures two of my quilts showed up. In the first pictures, my Bluebird of Happiness is showing. and in the picture of Ami, my Red Flower is on the side wall. How cool is that? I can print out those pictures and have proof that I had quilts "Hang in Houston"!!!!!!!! Probably the only way I willl ever be able to say that. Thanks, Clara, for taking the pictures. Hugs, Ann

You are very welcome. It was exciting to see the quilts from our group on the wall. They only have two partial bins left as of this morning. Hopefully they have a sell out! Clara

Congratulations Ann! 8) I was wondering if any of the TQS quilts were visible in Clara's photos.

How nice, Ann and what a great keepsake!

I got home from Houston last night and have had a great sleep and unpacked. I bought 2 AAQI quilts and will get pictures and post them in the next few days. The excitement at the booth was great and so many people were looking over and buying the beautiful little quilts. Can't wait to hear how much Ami and all the volunteers raised for this great cause. It was also so sad that many of our fellow quilters didnt get to travel to Houston. I am so glad to hear that you are all safe. Now we need to do what we can for those who have lost so much.

I purchased a quilt in Houston for $50. Sorry, I didn't get a picture since I gave it to my friend as a thank-you gift when she picked me up from the airport. But wanted to get it into our tally.

I purchased a quilt in Houston on Nov. 1 for $40, #10872 Tranquil Morning. This will be a Christmas gift for my DH in memory of his Uncle Houston who had Alzheimer's.
