Houston Quilt Festival

Houston Quilt Festival has started. My "Bruno is in Hoffman Heaven" is in Houston. He is in the collection "Its raining cats and dogs". Waiting for Trudy to take a photo for me. Wish I could be there but Bruno has been to more quilt shows than me.

The start of The Hobbit in Hoffman

 

I have posted photos of my 2013 Hoffman Challenge.

The Hobbit in Hoffman.

 

The post office misplaced the quilt but after a week it was delivered to Windsor Colorado. Now we wait to see if it excepted in this years challenge. It has been a fun quilt to do.

The Hobbit in Hoffman

For the Hoffman 2013 Challenge I went a new direction. I choose a book cover of a book I received as a gift in 1972. I always found this book cover to be interesting to me as it has a sun and a moon on it. So I decided I was going to do my interpretation of this picture. I would make the fabric work. Most of the fabric used is Hoffman. I cut the leaves to make the trees at the bottom. I twisted silk ribbon to make the tree trunks. I need to quilt it and add the embellishments. Beads, crystals dragon before it is finished. Then submit it and wait to see.

My Hoffman Challenge was again selected to travel for the next year. This is my entry called Stained Glass Cathedral Windows.
