The main feature of the AQSG conference is the papers.
Researchers describe their findings, everything from Philadelphia signature quilts to how today's long-arm quilters collaborate with the top maker.
It's all very interesting. But many of us need a little handwork to focus.
Terry did some vivid cut-out chintz applique.
I took pictures of people's projects while they were on the break.
Embroidery is very portable.
It's fun to see everyone's little to-go kits.
Bunny's wasn't so little.

I love seeing the creative ways others tote their handwork. I actually wrote about mine recent method in my last post. Also, I find I can focus on a talk much better when I have something to stitch on. I went to a meeting at Peace Corps a year ago and there were three knitters working away during the "sitting and listening" part of the program. One of them was a man. Unfortunately, I think I would be shunned if I whipped out my applique during my work meetings. Too bad, it wastes less paper than doodling.
You must be a very fast stitcher, cause your hands are a blur! How nice to see that Apple Pie Ridge Star block. I love that block, and was just thinking yesterday about how I should make a few more of them for a wall hanging.
I have often been tempted to bring some small applique or knitting to work on during the sermon at mass on Sundays. Can always listen better when working on a project, too. Would that be frowned upon???????? Hhhmmmmm.........
Just a quick note to let you know that a link to this post will be placed on CraftCrave today [27 Sep 01:00am GMT]. Thanks, Maria
I have to take a two day tax seminar each December. I always bring along a little cross stitch project of some kind. Usually my boss is sitting right next to me, but he doesn't say a word. He knows that I can multi task!
This is the best post I've ever seen. I do this and have
several take along methods. This is so kindred it warms my heart.
