I've met Patsy and she is the nicest lady. Her quilts routinely beat mine at various quilt shows, lol. I really like the Navajo Beauty Way prayer which is quoted a bit in one of the sentences below.

~ Here is the prayer ~
Today may I walk out in beauty.
With beauty may I walk.
With beauty before me, may I walk.
With beauty behind me, may I walk.
With beauty above me, may I walk.
With beauty below me, may I walk.
With beauty around me, may I walk.
It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.

And the last quilt -

| "This is My Last, Last Price" by Anne Armour |
Well I'm off to my sewing room. I've started to quilt on that sunset you saw me making a few weeks ago. I'm really wanting to get it done fast, but I know that I'll do sloppy work if I don't slow down a bit! I think my impatience to finish a project and get on to the next one is a big reason why my quilting isn't the best. Ugh.
I hope you liked this little cyber quilt show! I'll be getting to the traditional and the modern quilts from this show soon.
Comments are welcome.
Stunning quilts! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed seeing them. :)
DeleteThose quilts are unbelievable. It is amazing the artistry that can be achieved in fabric! Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI know! It seems like fiber art and quilting have just exploded in the art world. You're welcome. When we were a younger family we were too broke for me to go to phenomenal quilt shows out of state. Now the shows are more frequent and closer to home, and my kids have grown up so I can get away more. I try to take a lot of photos and post them so that other's with less means can still see and be inspired by all the beautiful quilts. :)
DeleteHow inspiring! Thank you for transporting us to the show through your eyes and pictures.
