The featured vendor at the Sew Many Stars Quilt Show last weekend was local quilter Lynn Schmitt Cibulka. Her company, A Different Box Of Crayons adds a unique and exciting twist on the world of quilting. Having interior design in her background, Lynn has found her niche. She uses mixed media to keep her projects interesting, including wool, ribbon, cotton, silks & home decor fabrics.
I snapped some shots of her booth including her latest Halloween design.
Is this quilt and runner beautiful, or what?! She was drawing names for the runner. I bet someone walked away last weekend a very happy lady. I was hoping it was going to be though! I did manage to buy a needle case kit. I’m excited to get started on that.
This pillow was gorgeous too!
Can you tell I loved her booth?! She’s been one busy bee.
We’d like to thank the Country Quilters of McHenry for having us this past weekend. We had a successful show and everyone from the guild was truly helpful in making that happen. The quilts were beautifully displayed in the church. There’s nothing quite like seeing all of them in such a peaceful setting.
Here are a couple of the quilts that caught our eye..
