This little quilt amazed me because it's 1/4" hexagons. The quilt was not much larger than my hand.
This quilt was designed, pieced and quilted by a 9 year old! Can you imagine?!
We were also fortunate to sit in on Bonnie Hunters trunk show. She is pretty funny and is a talented quilter and scrap user. The hour just flew by. This is her current quilt that she is hand quilting. She takes it with her to work on when she has some free time while traveling.
I made a purchase that I'll show you later. Other than that, I just bought fabric, a marking pencil, a stencil, some needles, crushed walnuts and a couple of pin cushion patterns.
Oh! I forgot to take a picture of the Best in Show. Part of it was micro micro stippled. The quilter used a magnifying glass to quilt it. It was so small that I wasn't even sure it was quilted as I could not see the stitches or pattern.
I hope each of you had a great weekend! Happy Stitches and thank you for visiting my blog!
