If I Were 15-20 Years Younger -----

----, I'd be tempted to buy one of these !(A wonderful huge cutting table by Martelli, with rulers and templates---link removed sometime by Martelli, sorry!)   And NO, I'm not being paid to give out that link!  I watched a live demonstration for about 30 minutes at the quilt show below, and I must admit that while I loved the quilts, this piece of equipment is what I keep thinking about!  But NO again, I'm not buying one!  Just wishing I'd known about it years ago.

When you finish looking at the pictures below, do go back to that link and watch both of the videos.  I think you'll wish for one too!  The accompanying rulers and templates were also amazing, and included in the show sale price.

Now on to the real reason for this post!  (Got to clear my mind!  *giggle*)

I had the pleasure of going to the Ellis County (TX) Quilt Guild show last Friday with two others from my church quilting group, and we saw lots of beautiful quilts.  I regret that I can't give credit to the proper people, but if by chance any of the makers see their quilt here, they will know theirs was one of my favorites. Some of my camera settings were not good, but double click on these to see some fantastic quilting in addition to the piecing!






I'm sure you've seen a blue one similar to this recently. 


"Cutest" thing there, in my opinion.

If I live long enough, I'm going to make one of these someday!


Texas Flag, in case you don't know.

Really nice show, don't you think?

Now go back and watch those videos on that fancy work station!  (Lord, teach me not to covet!)

  1. If I get brave I will go back and watch those videos. ;)
    Those quilts are beautiful. I have seen one of those basket quilts in blue. And it is beautiful too.

  2. I will NOT go watch those videos. I do NOT need another thing in my sewing room. Except maybe patterns. And a little fabric. Maybe a book. Uh oh...but I don't have room for furniture, so it's less of a temptation. Those quilts from the show are beautiful and I really like the Texas flag interpretation. Thanks for sharing!

  3. Count me in the "must not look" group! Well, at least where the work station is concerned. I'll look at those quilt anytime. Thanks for sharing.

  5. Maybe you should go into sales?!?! Thanks for sharing more quilts! The turkey is adorable! Love the Texas flag too - even though I'm not a Texan any more. I alway thought the Texas flag was special. The red basket quilt is gorgeous!
