Orange crush is finished. I have to decide if this one is going to be added to the show. I'm on the fence.
I do like the quilting though. Much harder to do than I expected. Monday, August 3, 2009
Show Time Again
The August opening reception for my quilt show is on Friday. I'm especially excited about this one because my youngest son, Jon will be providing the music. Live music, how great is that? Invitations went out last week. I can feel the nerves building again. I have lots of prep to do, so that will keep me busy. Busy is good.

I love the invitations! And how wonderful that your son can provide the music.
Jacquie, I have to say I think straight line quilting is sometimes more difficult and more time consuming than free-motion. Your Orange Crush looks fantastic! Enjoy your exhibit.
I'm so excited for you!!! What's a Heath clinic? I personally love the orange crush!
Have fun...the quilts look great!!
contrats again. I love the orange crush. such great colors.
Congrats! Makes me wish I lived in Kansas so I could come and see your amazing creations!!
Good luck, and have fun...
Good Morning! Orange Crush is a "for sure"~well, I love it and think you should include it. I think it's so great Jon is providing your music~a family affair. Your announcements are very pretty!
Congrats! Having your son provide the music will make it all the more special. I love the invitations, they're very pretty.
I haven't tried straight lines for quilting, but I can see that it would be more difficult than stippling or meandering. That's all I've tried so far.
I think you should jump off the fence and include Orange Crush. It's fantastic!
YES on orange crush. LOVE it. enjoy the night...take lots of mental (and actual) photos!
You're invitations are beautiful and how exciting to share this moment with your son. Love your Orange Crush quilt, especially the quilting.
Fun!
Yes, add orange crush. It's lovely! And I've done that kind of quilting. It's a pain but so worth it.
All so classy and professional! Good luck with the show. I love Orange Crush - I bet it will sell!
Nice in vitations and what a great event with your son playing live music!
I love orange crush and I think you should include it in the show!!
Orange Crush is now one of my favourite quilts you've ever done. I can see why it would be hard to put it in the show.
Try to enjoy the week despite the nerves.
orange crush is gorgeous! You should definitely add it to the show
"enjoy the show"! the invite I LOVE!!! wish I could come.
I love to know you have a quilt show on!! You're so talented and this is awesome!!! Still thinking you shouldn't publish a book? Having the chance to sew like you would make me happy :P

Love the invites. Your quilt is gorgeous. Congrats on another show!
Congratulations on the exhibit!!! I wish I lived nearby to take a look. I am a big fan of your work.
good luck to you jacquie! it will be great. (love those invites.)
Orange Crush is lovely as are the invites, and having your son provided the music is the cherry on top. Best wishes for another great showing!
Good luck! I love the design of the invitations. They're beautiful! And of course, you should include the orange quilt. Isn't it funny how the simplest looking quilting is often the hardest?
I think Orange Crush want to be part of the exhibit! ;)
Good Luck. I wish I could be there.
I love your invites too! did you design those too!? Have fun and enjoy!! sounds like a lot of fun with Jon playing and quilts hanging. . .
Oh this is all just too exciting, you, your son, your quilts, I wish I lived closer, how I would love to come. BTW, I adore "Orange crush"!
Hey J, Best of luck on Friday;) I'm sure your turn out will be great;) I bet your son is excited to be a part of your show;) your invitations are great!
I vote "yes" on the Orange Crush quilt. It is beautiful. Your invitations are very pretty. Hope this show is a success! Wishing once again that I lived closer and could attend. Thanks for your inspiration. Have a great day.
the invites turned out so good Jacquie! Did you design them yourself? I love that Jon is taking part in this event with you!
Oh yes - Orange Crush wants to be included! Best of luck to you in the show, Jacquie!
Cheers!
AWESOMENESS.
Orange crush rocks! People will go ga-ga over it. Add it to the show! Do you plan on selling it? Make sure you don't cheat yourself on price.
Beautiful invitations! The cherry blossums are just stunning!
I love your Orange crash. I would definitely add it to the show!
Best wishes for your show!
Orange Crush is wonderful!! And boy should you be proud, not only of yourself but your son. What a wonderful thing. I would love to be there!
Your straight line quilting is always so precise - any suggestions? Do you use a walking foot? (I'm assuming you're using a regular sewing machine.)
Definitely include orange crush. It's very striking.
put orange in!! it is my favorite color! congrats on another show!
Good luck, Jackie! enjoy your big night...don't forget to relax from now on :)
orange crush is wonderful - you must include it! enjoy your evening!
Oooh! I so wish I could jump on down to KC and join you! I will be looking forward to hearing about yours and Jon's adventure...your duet, so to speak. ;-)
Blessings to you, Jacquie!
Very Cool ... We've shared the info on the STARLIGHT QUILTERS GUILD SITE ... hope to see you there!
(feel free to list yourself as a follower of our blog, to link yourself to the guild site!)
~ thanks for sharing & good luck! =0) busy indeed!
I can appreciate the orange crush quilting. I've done that before and it is time consuming. Lovely though. The quilt is definitely a show stopper.
adding my little voice ::
i to love the announcements. they are perfect!
and this quilt is wonderful!
i hope your show goes oh, so well!
i hope your show goes fabulously. orange crush is beautiful. love the flowers on the invitations - so pretty and delicate!
I just tried quilting similar to this, and it was harder than I thought it would be too. I think it was having to rotate the quilt so much to get it through the machine and my lines would waver. Yours is beautiful! I would put it in the show for sure. Good luck with the show!
I hope your show went well. You do such beautiful work.
How exciting!!! I hope that it went well!!! Congratulations!
i love your orange crush quilt. it's gorgeous!
Oh man... I really love this quilt. My husband's family likes to give quilts as gifts -- unfortunately they always seem to give me "grandma" looking ones.
This one is so modern and beautiful :)
