SLMQG

Guys....last night was so wonderful!!!! I finally got to go to a Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild meeting and I must say it was one of the best things I've done so far here in Utah! It was a little sketchy at first, but after the nervous jitters were gone and I started talking to all the wonderful people there its was just magic! There were so many amazing quilters and designers it kind of blew my mind. Not to mention I was a little star struck (and I'm gonna name drop) when I saw Katie from the blue chair sitting inches from me. My insides were all like sqeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! Justin even knew who she was LOL!!! And I don't mean to get all dorky but to finally meet someone who, to you, has been so influential and inspiring it kind of calls for a little jumping up and down!

Its official!!!!!!!
But seriously, the inspiration was everywhere. I left feeling so excited and delighted to jump in front of my sewing machine and get down to business. I feel like this is the first set. And hopefully if my work schedule cooperates, I can make it to as many meetings/events as I can so I get hang out with all of these amazingly talented and wonderful people!!!! I don't know too many names yet, but I'm sure in time I'll get to know each and everyone them!

















The Riley Blake Challenge






Thank you to everyone that participated in Show and Tell it was awesome. I hope you all feel as inspired as I do!

Almost!

Yesterday, I finally finished all 9 blocks for my Swoon Quilt!

Block #6

Block #7

Block #8

And last but not least....

Block #9!

I even got to to lay them out with help from an expert in arranging, otherwise known as my disgruntled loving boyfriend. Sometimes it helps to get a second opinion. (Thank you sweetie!)


I can't wait to sew on the sashing and borders! What do you think???
