My Quip – A Splash of Color, Quilt Show, Cabarrus Arena, Concord, North Carolina – Our Entries – Born This Way, Provence

Good Evening,

And if you are in the Concord, North Carolina area October 7th and 8th make sure you stop in on the Cabarrus Quilters’ Guild 2011 Quilt Show, A Splash of Color.

The Cabarrus Arena in Concord, NC is just 2 ½ hours, by car from either Asheville or Raleigh, NC. It is almost 9 hours from Wilmington, Delaware… and just over 10 hours from Tampa Bay, Florida. And if you feel like driving from Toronto, Ontario, we’re talking 13 hours. Might be a nice weekend jaunt?

We’ve entered two of our quilts for display in the A Splash of Color Show: Born This Way and Provence.

Born This Way has been entered into the “Splash of Color Challenge” category.

Provence into the “Bed Quilt – Pieced Traditional – Large” category.

If you do get a chance of attending the Show, we would certainly appreciate copies of any image or photos that you may happen to take.

Stay tuned for our progress.

Check out our currently available quilts at Quilts SB Etsy.

My Quip - Provence and Born This Way On Route To Cabarrus County, NC

Good morning and good afternoon,

We’ve been somewhat quiet these past few days, that is, quiet in the realm of our Quilts SB. It is not that we have forsaken our passion of quilt-making but... lightning strikes, a refrigerator catching fire, a new puppy, Radar, the addition to The Pack, and learning to sous-vide cook. (I’m still wondering if there is a verb to cooking à la sous vide... Sous-viding - pronounced sue-veeding.) We have been working diligently on a number of quilts.

Two quilts entries, Provence and Born This Way, hit the mail today. They are on their way to A Splash of Color Fiber Art & Quilt Show 2011, to take place this coming October 7th and 8th. The Show will be held at the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center in Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina.

Our NCBB Quilt, that is, North Carolina Blue Bargello Quilt, is off the rack. The quilting is done and the binding has been attached. This queen size quilt, soon to make its home in North Carolina is simply breath-taking. I will be writing a complete description upon final completion. Just wait until you see it.

We have received a new commission. This new Steps Quilt will be based on our award-winning quilt, Coral Steps. The fabrics for the top have been finalized. I am pleased to say that the two fabrics are just tremendous. And yes I did mention this in a previous Post, but we have changed the fabrics since that announcement... and if I may say for something that will blow you out of the water. (But then again I am a wee bit prejudiced.) And the final home for Steps Quilt will be New York.

A number of other new designs are in the make. Stay-tuned and keep checking our updates at Quilts SB.
