Gary and I had a wonderful time at The Flying Needle in Stephenville, Texas on Saturday.  To say Anne’s quilt shop is filled to the rafters is almost an understatement.  If you are ever in this part of north Texas, you really should make it a point to stop and check out The Flying Needle.

We were fortunate to be there on the same day they have their monthly gathering and got to view their Show & Tell.  Quilters from all around the area showed off their current works.  I asked permission to snap a few pictures for you to see.  I wish I had thought to write down each ladies name to go with her picture, and we met so many nice ladies…but I guess we’ll just have to call them the Gifted Quilters – I know you’ll agree. 

This first photo is a lovely lady and her Turning Twenty around the Block quilt.  She not only used our Turning Twenty pattern, but the stitcheries are from our Love Covers book!  Isn’t it pretty?

The lady holding this quilt is the talented quilt maker.

The next two were made by the same quilt maker.  She used a pattern from our Turning Twenty Just Got Better book to make the same quilt in very similar color ways.  What an outstanding example of how fabric choices really make the quilt!

The quilt maker is shown here in the red plaid shirt. I found out that she and I have the same ’favorite color’ — RED!

This next quilt took my breath away! What a great surprise when the quilt maker unfolded her smashing quilt made from the Monster Machines fabric collection that I designed for Northcott Fabrics.  Her quilt was SO cute!  If you’d like to order any of this fabric, this link will take you to Monster Machines on our website.

MONSTER MACHINES fabric by Tricia Cribbs - whoo hoo!!

This next photo is the last one I’m posting for today. But I’ve got lots more Show & Tell from The Flying Needle so come back soon!

I was excited to provide a door prize for the day.  I prepared a 20 fat quarter kit to make a Snowman Turning Twenty Quilt.  The lucky lady holding the package was our winner, that’s Anne in the center, and me on the right.  What a fun day!    It’s late here tonight and I’m pooped, but I promised to post more of these in a couple of days. 

And We Have A Winner!

I think I’ll catch on to this blogging thing pretty quick.  It seems like I’m always a slow starter.                     Blessings, Tricia
