National Quilting Day

Today is a special day...it's National Quilting Day! So kudos to all my sewing sisters, quilters, and people who love quilts! And because I've been inspired  by so many folks through 30 years of quilting, I am thankfully, energized almost daily in honing my skills and craft and rarely tire of the "fiber arts"! Years ago my husband scratched his head when I went on a quilt retreat and I returned to confirm that, yes, we do spend hours not only sewing and quilting the days away, but talk about it too (from fabrics, to patterns to quilting designs to designing our own quilts - believe me, it all gets discussed...and then some!).

Truly, I am grateful to my tribe of "sisters of the thread" (and Frank) of the Southern Comforters of Bowie, Maryland! In fact, next weekend is our show where many beautiful quilts will be displayed, along with vendors and a whole lot of fun and beauty to be had at Samuel Ogle Middle School, 4111 Chelmont Lane, Bowie, MD.

In true spirit of the day, I am including two quilt tops recently completed; a tshirt quilt for Laura Murphy and another commissioned quilt for a friend's father!

BSoleille! The bright side of National Quilting Day,  and for lots of folks (including me) means "everyday" doing what we love!
