Quiltcon is a national quilt show for modern quilts, held once a year. This year it was in Phoenix, just an hour from my home. A group of my friends got together and drove to the Phoenix Convention Center and we had a wonderful day!
Our first order of business was to wait in line for the Ruby Star Society booth. We waited in line for an hour and a half! It was worth every minute. During that time, we got to meet the lovely and oh so talented Miss Melody Miller. She came up to me and asked if she could see my quilted jacket. Do you see her examining it? I felt so special ❤️ She saw all the Ruby Star fabric and her name on one of the selvages on my collar.
I love looking at traditional quilts, but modern quilts inspire me even more. I mean the ones that were displayed and some that won awards. I noticed a lot of straight line quilting. I know I can do that on my sewing machine. There are lots of techniques I can take from those creative quilts and use it in my own quilting.
I only went for one day, and walked my feet off! It's the slow walking that makes me tired 😂 Maybe next time I'll go for two ❤️
Thanks for following me :)
