Priceless Treasures Quilt Show 2013

As every year this show of quilts showcased an amazing and beautiful collection of traditional quilts, art quilts and fiber art from North Carolina...mostly the Outer Banks.

March 9th was again the Vendors day where local quilt shops would come and sell their wares...and local artists such as myself would come and sell our work. 

Priceless Treasures show is located at Roanoke Festival Park located on Ice Plant Island in Manteo , North Carolina.   The show will be open to view the quilts until March 22, 2013 stop in today and enjoy quilting history.

Outer Banks Paradise Photography

I have stepped back to something that has always held my soul and am now enjoying once again the aspects of professional photography.   With my Canon EOS Digital SLR I have been blessed with many wonderful photographic opportunities...

So my new goal is to continue sharing what I love about the Outer Banks with everyone through my new blog, and my business of capturing Family memories for a lifetime.  As a photographer before I shot many weddings, family gatherings and even captured the Lighthouse Keepers Descendants of Currituck Lighthouse back in 2000.  I really want to take family portraits beach and other whereabouts ...and those cute little kids that I see would like to help their parents get great pics.

I will also be establishing a special collection of my photos for you to enjoy ...so stay tuned to my blog

Tell Connie I said HI!


 Fabric Postcards which I love are just small art quilts that you can mail, or keep for yourself and frame.  I am working on some more houses, different types of puppies and some new dragonfly pieces. I have been very busy getting many new cards ready , Kitty Cats, Puppy Dogs, Beach Babes and this year I will have a new line that showcases some of my photographs I have taken around the Outer Banks... 

I have also been busy creating some new Mini-Arts , small pieces of embellished ATC size art mounted in beautiful frames ...just the right little pieces for a friend at a reasonable price.
 
What a great group of ladies the Tea Cup Quilters are that tirelessly put the show together every year. 

These are photos from Last years Show ...the piece in the first picture to the right..."Ghost of Kill Devil Hills" is hanging in the show this year...I will also have some new postcards that contain the photo that I took the day the coast guard station was torn down that inspired the PAS technique Quilt.

Hope to see you there!!!
