Really Random Thursday: QuiltCon Pics

Here's a series of random QuiltCon photos for Really Random Thursday:

If only...

Form & Fabric gave away the cleverest project pouches.

Holy Sh!t Balls pouch

This particular pouch was in high demand!

Bee block on a bag

Kristy's pouch sported a mini version of February's MCM Bee block. Cindy, I haven't forgotten about you....my block is going in the mail tomorrow.

Anne's two quilts

Anne, who is in our MCM Bee, had two quilts hanging in the show. Aren't they gorgeous? Rhythm and Blues won 3rd Place in the Large Negative Space category.

Craftsy booth

Love the blue walls of Craftsy's booth as well as their modern/retro TV.

Spin the wheel

Each time I walked by the Spoonflower booth, there was a long line waiting to spin the wheel. As you can see, everyone is a winner. I won a Cut & Sew Pattern.

Take Me Home

Janome was offering a steal of a deal to convention goers on their demo machines. I enjoyed sewing on the fancy Horizon machine, but I resisted the temptation to take one home.

Freezer paper piecing

Here is a sample of what I made in Penny's freezer paper piecing class. I can't wait to try this teapot pattern again with my complete fabric stash to choose from.

Teeny tiny pieces

I wasn't quite as successful with the paper piecing project. Those pieces are tiny!!!

Paper Piecing - failure then success

Can you see my mistake in the left picture? After some unsewing and resewing, problem solved.

Lizzy House

I enjoyed Lizzy's Mini Quilts class. Her enthusiasm is contagious.

Mini quilt for my mini quilt

I had high hopes for my mini quilt at the start, but in the end couldn't replicate my vision on fabric. After learning from my mistakes, I plan to try again.

Elizabeth's Marmalade quilt

I took half day classes with Elizabeth and Jacquie to learn to make these two quilts - Marmalade and Machine Pieced Hexagons.

Jacquie's Hexie quilt

Once I unpack, I'll take pictures of the progress made in class.

Austin Children's Shelter

Various local guilds made quilts for the Austin Children's Shelter from QuiltCon challenge blocks.

My challenge block

I took pictures of all the donation quilts hanging in the lecture hall and found one of my challenge blocks....couldn't find the other....must be on the back.
