I had the opportunity to be a featured designer in Dessert with Designers this evening. A great Zoom event where I got 15 minutes to share some of my things. Kathleen at Salem Stitches does this event every few months. Check out her website HERE.

Since I needed a clean slate to share some quilts, I decided to use a bed in a spare room to do a “bed turning” of a few of my quilts. Well, that room needed to be cleared out. So, I spent today doing just that. I have many things to giveaway and it felt good to clear out!! It was fun to share the quilts. I put them on the bed on top of my EXTRA quilts that don’t travel with me. Yes, there are many. My point of telling this story is many quilts live on this bed. I had a situation a few years ago where one of my quilts go sun faded. So now the top quilt (the largest of the bunch) gets turned wrong side up. This keeps the sun off the front of the quilt and the back is muslin, so fading won’t hurt it!! The photos below are the quilts I showed tonight and the backside of the “TOP” quilt that lives on the bed. The quilts I showed tonight will go back into their respective travel suitcases.

A good evening and a good reminder to be careful how you store your quilts. I also shared two of my videos showing how to use Brilliant Bindings and Hex-a-ma-jig. Did you know I have these on my Gallery page of my website? Take a look at Wendt Quilting Gallery Page or on YouTube. One of my goals this summer is to add more videos. I’ve said it out loud, so now you’ll have to hold me to it!

#1 – Store quilts on a spare bed, laied flat to keep the wrinkles to a minimum.

#2 – Cover the top of the stack of quilt with the largest quilt WRONG side up. This will protect the stack from sun fading.
