Roseville Quilters Guild Show

Very few shows happen in the summer so I was happy to go to the Roseville Quilters Guild’s show. I enjoy their show each year, along with the fair and some Food Not Approved by the American Heart Association. This was the charming greeting as you walked in-it got a chuckle out of me! Poor Little Sunbonnet Sue is walking the chain gang in prison stripes, hanging her head in shame. Guess she won’t touch the quilts again! It was a County Fair after all, so there was plenty of youth art. I love youth art and this happy little watercolor by Kylie Odell was just the cutest thing! I would love to have this in my home. Eldora McElroy hand quilted and appliqued “Baltimore Basket”. Beautiful hand quilting and applique is becoming hard to find so I especially enjoyed this beautiful piece. She said it was 10 years in the making!Most of us have these linens hanging around and Camilla Jensen’s “Mom’s Card Table” uses a cloth that her Mom used in the 40’s and 50’s. She took a Cindy Needham “Linen Ladies” class and now she’s hooked. She quilted this herself. Sigh, nostalgia…Ruth Kennedy hand painted this beauty after finding inspiration in a Velda Newman book. Quilted by Sharon Morris. Ginger Frantzreb created “Autumn Path” using the “snippet” method. Her inspiration was a beautiful Thanksgiving card she received. Quilted by Debbie Lopez. Arlene Regello created “Dolly Dimples” in redwork. She says it reminds her of embroidering pillowcases as a young girl. Quilted by Lana LaPlante. Awww!

Okay, so after the quilt show I had to have some fried zucchini followed by one of those fried waffle things with the powdered sugar. However, I did offer some restraint-no ice cream on the waffle, snort!
