Round Robin Quilt Show

To top off the ending of a Birthday week I went shopping! yay! Me and a few of girls {the other quilt group} drove up to Brigham City for a quick little shopping trip. Ok. It ended up all day–but who was looking at the clock, besides the children we left behind.

First stop- shopping at Village Dry Goods.  I got a little batch of goodies too. It was the 5th Saturday and they had a sale going on…weee! 

See the apple core pieces? I am so excited. Always wanted to do one…now, i can be lazy and buy them precut.

Then we headed on over to eat some lunch & then made our way to the museum for a wonderful quilt show.  Kaye Evans had here round robins on display.  Quick schooling on round robins— This is a project made by more than one person. There are a few ways of doing this— everyone makes blocks and you exchange them,  you make the center block and others add to the sides,  ect.  What a collection I tell you! Around 50 quilts! That is a lot in one area for one person to have 'collected'  I have I think 8-9.  I really do love them all.  They end up so different than anything you have and it is because everyone has added themselves to your start.

fabric postcards. Made just like these.

The cutest little applique tree with all of her favorite things. Great idea! It has pins from her boys- boys scouts, girl scouts, church pins, mini quilts..ect.

If anything- Kaye has an eye for details.  She does these little things that make a big difference. Check out the little 4 patches that extend into the border. Now, I don't think this is because she is short on border fabric. I think she really plans these things out.

Just read this:

LOL

She sent everyone the template for the leaf and had each one make one using the leaf. Check out the variety. Fav's– birds at the top, bonsai, and the little gnome house.

I've sen this one around….oh, it's sideways. hee hee I think i take a picture everytime i do. I love the wool flowers mixed in the 9patch of pinwheels.

After some wonderful eye candy we headed to a thrift store- oh, yea….look what i found- $4.00 

oooo. shiney silver…..

and then halfway home we stopped at another shop—blame it on our bums. They were tired from sitting    Angie and I stood in the basement and moved sale bolts around like they were candy and designed 3 quilts I think while we were there.  If you can believe we left the store with nothing! Neither of us. We just needed to touch and love and design I guess. LOL
