Prairie Fest Quilt Show 2022 from Cheryl's Teapots2Quilting

Every year the Quilter's Dozen hand quilting group has a quilt show during Prairie Fest. I usually go to the quilt show just before I drive in the parade (I drive hubby's Barbershop chorus).

In addition to bodkin history and the bodkin bolster instructions, there are several photos of bodkins and bodkin holders for inspiration. Including a special Mother of Pearl Royal Palais Etui set.

Some Finishes, a Gift and Getting Ready from Cheryl's Teapots2Quilting

Yipee! I finished both Harry Potter Castle quilt tops this weekend! The long arm quilter has them now. I started the blocks for these quilts back in February. I didn't get a chance to work on them over the summer, but I finally got time to get the blocks in the Castle setting this past week.
