I am not a precise sewer. After nearly 1/2 a century you would have thought so , but I love to sew and with can make the end product look great. I had a bad week and nothing I was doing was lining up, no it was not the gremlins positioned on the flywheel. It was me and my techniques. While the last few posts are not Bailey specific I thought you might be interested in some of the tutorials and websites I have posted along the way.

Did your MOM ever tell you that competitions were fun??

Remember the first time you ever entered a competition and your parents told you how proud they were of you no matter what you brought home in the winning dept? As we got older competition became more precise and fierce between contestants.

Here is one site that outlines what is expected of a Juried  Quilt Show . Not written in stone but it does give you an idea of what criteria is out there. Just remember - It is for the fun and love of quilting!!!

Have you ever wondered?
