Jess and I went to the Smokey Mountain Quilt Fest today and sad to say it was 1/4 the size. Took us two days before and only a couple hours today. We did see some stunning quilts. Quote | Post #1371674 (2)

third prize although we thought it deserved better. very nice first in it's catagory. Best of show and very worth it. Another first prize, stunning. A ton of work. Cannot even imagine 1/2" pieces Quote | Post #1371675 (3)

Wow, awesome quilts. I'll bet even more gorgeous in person. I would have loved to see the fisherman one up close. Art for sure! The last one looks like a Bonnie Hunter quilt but I don't think even she uses 1/2" pieces. All of them took a lot of work and time. Quote | Post #1371678 (5)

1/2" pieces? What's left after the seams? Gorgeous and awe-inspiring quilts. Is that the quilt show in Pigeon Forge? Sorry it was so disappointing, but I'm sure it'll soon be back to its former grandeur. I'd love to attend a good one. So many have been canceled again this year.

Oh, I see now, Karen. Yes; 1" makes a difference! I agree. Next year at Pigeon Forge sounds like a plan. Hope it works out. I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day. ~F. Frankfort Moore, A Garden of Peace Quote | Post #1371701 (9)

Took my first big step today. I mailed off what I had in QOV quilts and blocks. One of the other quilters put in a request for a large presentation she has coming up in a couple months for Vietnam vets. I had a finished quilt, another just needing binding and a big stack of blocks, I didn't even count hem just packed them and took to the post office. I had to start somewhere and helping a fellow quilter is a good place. I have bolt and bolts and bins of patriotic fabrics that I have to figure how to sell. Also a ton of panels. Maybe I'll talk to our group leader about selling within the group as the prices will be very good. [Last edited May 20, 2021 9:16 PM CST] Quote | Post #1372847 (15)

So are you giving up quilting, Karen, or just QOV? I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day. ~F. Frankfort Moore, A Garden of Peace Quote | Post #1372857 (16)

For the most part, quilting. I might be able to do the occasional baby quilt, but my hands are just refusing to work the way I need them to. I no longer have the strength to wrestle with them. Quote | Post #1372871 (17)

I am sorry Karen but it seems you have thought this out and have a good plan. Quote | Post #1372890 (18)

It's always hard to give up something you've enjoyed so much, not to mention the QOVs you've donated. I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day. ~F. Frankfort Moore, A Garden of Peace Quote | Post #1372894 (19)

I'm very sad but I accept that it's time. Once we have this grad party out of the way, I'll be getting into selling. Quote | Post #1372910 (20)
