2015 Online Quilt Show

I am so excited!!

Every year about this time my friend Sharon over on Hobbies on a Budget does a very cool online quilt show. No getting out to weather the cold, or the crowds, and it doesn't cost anything. You can browse from the convenience of your home while sitting in bed or on your couch drinking your hot cocoa or coffee.

She has some amazing quilters, both professional and non-professional, display their quilts and tell the stories behind them.

A few years ago I participated by sharing a quilt I made for my mom with photos of our family.

Go HERE to read about it.

I am not a big quilter, although I do really enjoy it, when I get a chance to do it.

Last year I made a quilt for my daughter's boyfriend, and hope to enter it in the quilt show this year.

This past November/December I made a t-shirt quilt for a friend of mine. It turned out really pretty, not just your typical sew-all the t-shirts together type quilt.

I hope you'll come back the beginning of February to join many others as well as myself for the upcoming show!! And if you have a quilt you have made or maybe someone has made for you, I hope you will enter too. You don't have to have a blog, just head on over to Hobbies on a Budget and drop Sharon an email with your story and a picture of your quilt.
