Victoria Quilt Show Part 3

I think this should be all of the 2025 quilt show pictures. I try to divide it up evenly so that each post is not too photo heavy. But first, here’s a couple of pictures I took yesterday at Serenity’s volleyball game. 

Their mascot got a new costume this year. The old one was looking a little shabby. 

Their team is the gators, in case you couldn’t tell. 

Now for the quilt show pics: 

These are the challenge quilts. They’re all small—about 18” x 20”, I think. 

Unfortunately, I didn’t finish mine, and now I can’t remember that much about it. I think they gave us some small pieces of birdhouse fabric that we were supposed to embellish. 

These are the kids classes we taught this summer: 

These are the disappearing nine patch blocks.

And these are from the collage class:

I have some more photos to share. I was able to do some editing on the pictures, so hopefully they will be a little better than the last batch. 

I believe I have enough pictures for one more quilt show post. I did notice, however that I apparently failed to take pictures of the collage quilts the kids made at the class we taught. I’m going to text a few people and see if anyone else has a picture of them. 

I took a two-hour nap Sunday, and slept all night Sunday night. I was too tired to sleep Saturday night, and my hips were hurting, so I only got two hours of sleep then. I feel pretty good now. In fact, I got up yesterday morning and went to my cardio class. I could have easily talked myself out of it, but then where does that end? I think it’s best to keep moving if I can. 

Victoria Quilt Show 2025

The quilt show is officially over, and we are all pretty tired. But first, let me say the steroid shot I got in my finger earlier in the week helped me so much! I did the demo on Friday of English paper piecing, and of course that is hand stitching. I was a little concerned that my finger would give me problems, but all was well. I still can’t straighten it all the way, but I keep pushing it back with the other hand to exercise the muscles, which should help eventually. It takes time. 

Anyway, I think the quilt show was a success! The vendors were happy with their sales, and we had good attendance. I took pictures of the quilts to share here on the blog!

Unfortunately, I was too tired to edit the pictures. I will try and edit the rest of them before I post them. 

I have church today. I need to get to the church by 7:00 am to unlock the doors. We are planning to transition soon to one service per Sunday instead of an early service and a late service, and it can’t happen soon enough for me! We really don’t have a high enough attendance to justify two services, and it’s too much work for the volunteers (church council, usher/greeters, music and worship team, etc.). I’m hoping the transition is successful and will work for everyone.
