Another Monday Funday!

Juliann donated a UFO to Faith Seeds and I'll be working on that off and on. It is the Bible Quilt from Jan Patek. She has a lot of it completed or basted and ready to stitch. My hand applique needs a bit of work- thankfully this is primitive! Thanks again, friend!!

I've made this before and smile seeing it at my niece's home. My previous one can be seen HERE. 

 

A quilt shop I stopped at this past week while in Arizona. This is in Camp Verde. 

I've been MIA

I had a lovely week in Arizona. The last half of the week the weather was pretty fickle, but it made for some nice photos.

I got the opportunity to do a short hike in the Grand Canyon!!

Even though it was short the first half was down, down, down and so the last half was up, up, up!

My daughter and I have been meeting to hike as we prepare to summit Mount Saint Helens. 

The McNeil Point shelter was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s as part of the Timberline Trail network, intended to be a resting and camping spot for hikers.

My first time hiking to an alpine shelter. 

We will have one more big hike before the summit on the 19th!

I'm eeking out as much summer as I possible can! 

Have a wonderful week!

Valley Quilters Guild

 This was my view of the lovely Valley Quilters Guild in Hemet, California!

I'd love to visit your guild! 

Palm trees, a sure sign I'm not in Central Oregon!

Below was a few of the show and tell. 

This was a weaving! I love it!

My host was Grace and she brought this family quilt for show and tell 

It looks like another string quilt idea!

I loved the pieced backing!

I had a bit of time between the morning trunk show, lunch and my flight so I was treated to a couple quilt shop stops!

This one was packed with reproductions!! 

Summer is still here although kids are going back to school. I

I'll be out and about while the weather is still great. My posts will be hit and miss.

Love ya!

String Quilts YOUR Way!

The day after my trunk show to Madison Station Quilters we had a fun class! 

String quilts your way allows participants to choose what string quilt they want to make. The quilters are so creative!

 

Such cool fabric.

She was taking a more modern approach. I hope she shares her finish with me!

So simple but so many ways to set these! I spy the makers pj fabric made by her mom when she was little. I also spy adult greens! lol 

A simple choice of solids packs a big punch!

The white was also the foundation. 

My fav- blue and lights!

Lots of layout options!!

Such cool fabric!

Lay it out this way....

Or that way...?

It was a great time!

If you are a part of a guild and would like me to have a trunk show or workshop, please reach out to me or some one at your guild. My email is humblequilts@gmail.com Thanks!

Antique and vintage quilts were also enjoyed!

This is such a unique quilt top from the 1940's. The pattern was in Kansas City Star. I've never seen this before and completely love it!

Here was a sweet quilt that David shared with me. A women brought it into the shop to get quilted. It was very charming!

I'm so sorry I cannot remember your name! Look at this wonderful string quilt that she had quilted with fans- perfect choice!

The more I looked the more sweet things I saw!

Such cute cowboy fabric. 

And spiderwebs?! What a mix of fun!!

Thank you Madison Station Quilters.

Next week I am visiting Valley Quilters Guild in Hemet, CA. If you are anywhere nearby I'd love for you to drop in. Send me an email for more info- humblequilts@gmail.com

We've had some beautiful weather but fall is in the air!! 

Have an amazing weekend!!

Madison Station Quilt Guild

I landed in Huntsville, Alabama on Wednesday. Quietest airport I recall ever going to! Huntsville is called Rocket City. It was my first ever trip to Alabama and I had a really wonderful time!

My friend, Sue, who I worked with at the Houston quilt show, was my host. 

We made our way to a few quilt shops.

This was a huge shop and because of a church conflict I ended up teaching at this quilt shop. It had lots of everything, including reproductions, so it was my favorite!!

This was a Lowe Mill, a cotton mill back in its day- now full of adorable little shops.

It was a really good turn out for the trunk show!

Thank you Madison Station Quilt Guild!

 If you are looking for a trunk show, workshop teacher, or both and would like me to visit your guild, please contact your guild with my contact info, humblequilts@gmail.com

Thanks and have a great week!
