I had a great time at our guild meeting yesterday. I hadn't been able to go for a couple of months, and I don't know if I'll make it back there again before we move. Our Blogging program went well, and hopefully some folks who have never visited a quilting blog will now dive in and enjoy!
Don't forget, you can still enter my giveaway through Friday, March 16 at noon by leaving a comment here. And be sure to sign up for Lisa and Susan's giveaways, too!
And now for show and tell:
This is the Caldwell Memorial Quilt made by many women in our guild to honor two of our members, a father and daughter, who tragically died in an automobile accident three years ago. The quilt will be presented to the American Village in Montevallo later this week and will hang in the President's Home there.
The period reproduction fabrics came from all over the country, some from other countries.
The hand quilting is absolutely exquisite!
This gorgeous appliqué quilt was made by Damie Brown. Lovely!
And Lura made this adorable bag. Love it!I've been sewing this morning since 6:15. I have a lot I want to accomplish today, quilting-wise. I'll take a break this afternoon to vote, though. Then back to the needle and thread!

Would love to know about the blogging program. Our guild has members that when I say blog, they say I don't know how to open it. When I try to explain it's just a website, they look at me with a blank look.
I don't have a blog but do enjoy all that I visit. Came here thru Blackberry Creek. Love giveaways
I don't have my own blog - at least yet - but I get so many good ideas and inspiration from visiting quilting blogs. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Julia, I also hopped over here from Susan's at Blackberry Creek. I would love to participate in your wonderful giveaway. Thanks so much for a chance, and thank you for sharing the pictures of these breath taking quilts. I also love the bag, way cute! Hugs...
Hey Judy,
Great program on Monday; please enter me in your giveaway. To Barbara S, it made all the difference in the world to have three very different bloggers talk about why they blog and how the quilting world can be at your fingertips via the hundreds/thousands of blogs that are out there - something for everyone. They all did a wonderful job. I got lots of new ideas and can't wait to try them out. An added plus was they were able to project the actual websites while talking. Thanks so much Judy for the great program. I am going to miss you. I do hope you will get back to guild some. PattyB
