I have two quilts at the Pacific International Quilt Fest (PIQF) in Santa Clara, California this week.
We didn't attend, but a friend who did sent me these pictures.
Thanks Jackie!

Scenes from the Road of Life
Darrell set up his shop space for taking photos. He took the photos I need to submit to Quiltcon of two of my quilts.
It was fun and fascinating to be able adjust the 'temperature' of the lights with his new Godox lights.
Instead of a binding I'm 'facing' the Spring Equinox quilt. It's taken about four nights while watching TV sewing it down on the back by hand. I finished it up today.
Finally, after waiting three weeks for the Jade Green fabric I needed to finish this quilt top, I was able to put it all together.
Yoohoo! I love it.
I paper pieced the smallest pieces for the Equinox, Fibonacci Spiral. I drew it out on freezer paper, cut the fabrics and sewed them on.
And, no, it was not that simple. There was some cussing and unsewing and re-doing involved. But, it turned out really nice so I then made the two inch block in the same manner.
Here's a shot of the two inch - I couldn't do either without a lot of pins.
I made what I could from the fabrics I have, but I ran out and had to stop working on the Equinox quilt. I'm awaiting a couple of fabric shipments.
Here's the first row of my new project, Equinox. I've run out of that Jade Green fabric. I've ordered more, it's on its way - I hope.
Then I had a zoom meeting - the first with my new Ipad. The microphone didn't work and no one could hear me. I tried everything to no avail.
