I feel like a Star!




From the book " Gee's Bend Women and their quilts"


Can you believe I have never made a quilt with a star block?
Well, other than my very first quilt. But, that does not count. I see a very scrappy star quilt in my near future.

I do feel like a star! My "Zigzag" quilt was in the AQS show.. 



It was nice to see my quilt hanging there.. 
What was even nicer was the company of women I had the chance to hang out with!

Kelly Meanix from the Pinkadot Quilts and her friends are my new friends! 
Some of the nicest people I have had chance to meet in last couple of years.

I also got to meet some fabulous bloggers like Kathie from "Inspired by Antique Quilts", Victoria from "Silly Boo Dilly", Barb from " Quilting with Barb and Mary". 
Wish I had more time to chit chat with them!

I even tried my hand at a long-arm quilting machine!
Came home with inspirations and ideas that will keep me busy for quite some time!

  Happy Weekend!

    You are a star, your quilt looks beautiful! When I first glanced at this post, I thought the first 4 pictures were yours too; and all made recently! How inadequate did that make me feel?!! I'm making my first star quilt at the moment, it's fun...don't think it will be the last!

    Sujata--No stars? You must do something about that, whatever you make I am sure will be wonderful. It was a nice day at the quilt show and your quilt looked great!

    I just blogged about a star quilt. I am so scared of diamond patched star quilts that I made a triangle one instead. I think the Gee Bend quilts are fabulous, especially the bumps and uneven sides! My kind of quilt.

    I think stars could be addictive, but that's not a bad thing. Your Zig Zag looks wonderful hanging there in all it's glory. Your day at the show sounds like so much fun!

    You are a star!
    Your quilt looks amazing on those black backgrounds.
    Was wonderful to meet you.
    I wish we had an international label or button system so we could meet other bloggers more easily!
    Let's set a May date -
    how was the Indian Food received? My son and I love it - hope the girls did too!

    Oh my gosh, Sujata, I was so out of it with back pain I didn't even realize that you had a quilt in the show! (You should have told me!) It was lovely to finally meet you face to face, and I regret that I wasn't in better condition, as I would have loved to spend more time with you and to see your quilt up close! Congratulations, you are a star!
