crockpot queen.

I entered this quilt in a quilt show this last weekend

in Glendale, Califoria.

This is a sort of memory quilt of my Sunday afternoons:

Crockpot meals with the family including

my son and daughter-in-law and sometimes friends.

I had so much fun making this quilt!

The process of making it brought to mind all

those happy memories.

I hand appliqued all those images on there

then I machine quilted it.

I thought, if you've ever dreamed of entering a quilt show,

you'd be interested in what the judges said.

Here's a close-up of those potatoes.

Now for the judges comments!

Best features:
~Whimsical, fun quilt to explore.
~Quilting motifs are well chosen.

Areas needing improvement:
~applique stitches should be smoother and tighter.
~Strive for more precision in machine piecing.
~Strive for smaller and smoother quilting stitches.

I think the judges pretty well summed up my quilt,
don't you?
I have a long way to go when it comes to precision!
But I'm sure having a fun time getting there!


I hope that this encourages you to enter a quilt show!
