No, I really am not missing in action. But I have been busy stitching. Sure do wish I could show you, but one, is a project that will be unveiled (ohhhhh, sounds so regal ) at the Bloggers Quilt Festival that Amy over at
Amy'sCreativeSide hosts next month. If you haven't done or seen the Bloggers Quilt Festival, it is a must. So go check it out and get your project ready.
The other is a July 4th project that was actually on my PIGS list and great fully marked as DONE!! Yippee. So you just have to wait to see them, but I have "really" been busy working away.
I went on a little quilting retreat a couple of weeks back, with a friend and went to a quilt show in Pueblo Colorado. It is a small show, but a great one. We rented a suite at the Cambria Suites and sewed our little hearts out. For the second year, their guild had a wonderful display along with it. The quilts were awesome and so inspiring. I just have to share some of the ones that spoke to me.
These colors just pop. Is that fun or what!
This is so sweet!

I am a huge bear paw fan, so this one made me swoon. Is it not just the greatest??
Not a fan of snakes by any means, in fact I am terrified of the slithery things, but this quilt is so darn cute!
Ahhh nothing soothes the soul like a great batik piece!
With purple being one of my favorites, this one really spoke to me.

I loved this little table topper, how unique is this?

Hexagons have really been on my radar lately. Not sure if I have the time to put into them, but I sure do love them. The combination of applique with them on this quilt is so pretty!
Amish Quilts get my attention every time. This one is just beautiful.
A batik magic... Brings chills to me!
Dresden plates are so fast and fun to put together. I love the quilty theme fabric she used too!

This is definitely on my to-do list. I've long loved the look of a quilt that is not just square. Or I will until I have to bind it that is!! :-)

Scrappy quilts!! I love love love them.
So I hope you are as inspired by these as I am. I sure do wish I lived closer to Pueblo. I would love to be a part of their guild.
Oh by the way, I don't have photos to share, but there was a quilt, that was at the quilt show, not the guild show, that someone made. It was a photo quilt of their colonoscopy! Need I say more??? My friend wouldn't let me take photos of it, darn her. I don't know why I listen to her some times. Sure do wish I could have shared that photo!!!!
