Chelsea Garden Quilt with Pat Campbell

This was my first year at Houston as an exhibitor.  I had placed the Chelsea Garden Quilt on the back wall of my booth and had many admirers looking at the colors, design and the quilting (by Richard Larson).  Pat Campbell and her husband John stopped by several times and were very pleased with the responses to Pat's quilt that was done in the hoop with an embroidery machine.  Pat honored me with allowing me to take a picture of her with the quilt.

Houston Quilt Show

My sister and I were first time vendors at the Houston Quilt Show early Nov.  It was a great learning experience.  Here are some pictures of our booths.

Lower Right Applique Border for Chelsea Garden

This is a picture of my test stitch out of the Lower Right Applique Border.  I am currently stitching out on the final border and validating the instructions.  Alignment for each section is done by using crosshairs.  There are 10 hoopings for the full border and are done using a 8 x 8 and 8 x 10.  This pattern will be available in Oct 2011.
