Here's the third of my Hop To It blocks - I had the colours in my circles back to front (and it looked terrible!) so I am happy to say it's all fixed up and ready to share.
Excitement!!! Tomorrow I am picking up my son and his wife from the airport- they are back in NZ for a week!!!!
This is a gorgeous project and I am enjoying doing it.
Recently 'my local' had its annual exhibition. It a great day with live music, tea and coffee (and eats) in the marquee, and quilts and projects displayed around the house [and often a tempting sale in the shop too :-)].
We're all encouraged to display our work as it is not judged... there is only a viewers' choice award... it's all about sharing what we have done and having a great day.
These two photos from last year's exhibition.
This year I didn't have a lot of finished items to share but displayed two projects -
This was a quilt I made for my ED's previous birthday.

| Centre quilt (Tarn's Chocolate quilt) - the photo is a bit dark but you can see how lovingly arranged everything is around the house. |
and here is the cushion I made as a result of the Hugs n Kisses Stitcharoundtheblock, along with several made by other participants.

| Mine is at the front, Leeanne's is on the left and Kerry's to the right. |
For a few more shots of the exhibition, visit Leeann's blog.

Have a good day every-one - and thanks for popping in!
I really like the colours you have chosen for your block. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt and cushion you have displayed in the exibition.
Enjoy your son's visit
Looks like such a relaxing atmosphere for the show and I love how everything is casually arranged around the house. Your cushion is beautiful! And I hope you have a great time with your son and family!
ReplyDeleteYour HTI block looks wonderful - this was such a pretty pattern.
ReplyDeleteOOh have a lovely visit with your son & wife.
ReplyDeleteDo I spy the fabric James picked out in the hop to it block. Love your colours as normal.
Love Leanne
Again a lovely block, I love it! The exhibition looks great, all three cussions different and all gorgeous! The quilts are so nice, you indeed had a great day!
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting, Cisca
Love the applique blocks. So glad I'm so behind on my projects that I don't feel drawn to do them too.
ReplyDeleteAfter deciding to use up some scraps doing an applique quilt, it was a toss up between the Hop to It quilt, and My Whimsical Quilt Garden quilt - and chose MWQG this time. I'm sure I'll have enough scraps leftover to do the HTI once I've finished. Your blocks certainly are inspiration...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day... lot's of beautiful quilts!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week with your son and DDIL!!!
Your block is simply beautiful. I'll be watching for the progress on this quilt, I am sure it is going to be stunning.
