I've got the Summertime Blues!

I was drawn to several indigo/blue quilts at the Sisters show. Here are a few of them. 



 This was in the teacher tent made by Rosalie Dace.
 This quilt was part of a group challenge. Choose page 38 of any magazine and make a quilt using that page as your inspiration.  I'm having issues with my new phone sending my photos every which way! It is annoying!
 Here is the magazine page.

 This was a soft lovely quilt made with a variety of chambreys on linen with a sprinkling of red polka dots.

 Looks like a good two color scrap buster.
 This charmer was in the Portland Modern Quilt Guild display. They had some lovely row-by-rows and this was one of my favs.
And this was the quilt center I was working on at Randy's. 

I signed up for 2 classes in Houston- One is indigo dying  and the other is sashiko!
Looks like the blue theme will continue through this year. 

I hope you all are having a great week.  This month brings lots of vacations for our 
employees and more hours of work for me. 

Take care!

  3. I ordered and downloaded the pattern for the quilt you are working on in the blue & white. I have some fabrics in stash that would give me a start on making it. I have always been drawn to blue and white quilts. One of my early quilts was in blue and white and it hung on the wall for many years. My daughter recently took it home with her as she is also a blue and white fan.

  4. Blue/white is my favorite 2 color combo, so I really enjoyed seeing these. Blue Plate Special is very clever.

  19. I enjoyed looking at the blue quilts, such variety. I love the idea for the challenge. Are you thinking of hosting another round robin like last year? That was a fun challenge too.
