Quilt Festival time again!!

Amy's Creative Side - Blogger's Quilt Festival

Welcome friends and quilt festival browsers to the post! Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment..I'd love to hear from you!

Here is my quilt for the festival...It is titled "Joy Ride" and was lovingly made for my father for his 60th birthday. I fell in love with this Riley Blake fabric and had to buy a bunch from the collection for this quilt. I used this tutorial from a quilt is nice for the pattern.
I hand quilted it which (took forever) was fun.
And I machine sewed the binding on due to time constraints...but felt the hand quilting made up for that.
...and just for fun, the Little Bo Peep costume I made for this year's festivities...isn't it cute:) Happy Halloween!

Thanks for stopping by!

    What a fun quilt. Great zigzag set- perfect for the car fabrics. Isn't it amazing how long it takes to hand quilt -but it is so rewarding. I'll bet your Dad loved it.
    Thanks for visiting/commenting on my antique schoolhouse.

    Love the quilt! I have never been much of a quilter, but this is inspiring. I can't believe you hand quilted it. That is so impressive!
