Humble Quilts Repro Sewing Circle

Thanks to all who took the poll and emailed their interest in the online sewing group!

When I was hanging out with Michelle before and after her surgery we brainstormed names for the group. They all seem a bit long to me.

Here are the 2 we came up with:

Humble Quilts Reproduction Sewing Group

Humble Quilts Little Bits of History

We are going to be focusing on the Civil War and neither of these reference that. I'm open to any suggestions! Feel free to email at humblequilts@gmail.com

*****************Important**************************

I'm going to do a facebook live on Sunday, November 15,  2 o'clock pacific time. I'll chat a bit about the format I'm considering. I want this to be a fun group so if you have suggestions I'm willing to hear them!

I know you are not all on Facebook. I hope I can record it and send it via my blog. 

Hope to see you on Sunday!

 

Houston Quilt Show 2026

 Once a year I get to see  my friend Debbie from Texas. We met in 2016 when we were both volunteers for the quilt festival classes.  

Will you be there? I love having preview night and it is not happening this year- Boo-Hoo!

I've met many of you in person over the years of attending. Please let me know if you'll be there! 

I'll be arriving Wednesday in the late afternoon and have zero plans! I'll be up early Thursday ready to hit the show when it opens. I love to see the quilts first!

Friday- show

Saturday depart in the afternoon. 

Please send me an email and let me know if you want to meet up, or feel free to say hi if you see me!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! Plus Upcoming Guatemala Trip

For everyone that entered the quilt raffle- thank you from the bottom of my heart!

We raised $2060 and I was excited that Debby Dodds is in the Humble Quilts group won the Bible quilt! My sister in law really wanted that one....lol 

Your generosity allows these children in Guatemala to have a brighter future! 

Our program offers scholarships for kids to be in school and come to the after school program, where they receive a nutritional meal (sometimes 1 meal a day is all they get), tutoring, love, and support. It gives them a life goal to shoot for something better than working in the garbage dump of Xela. 

The village sits in the mountains at 7600+ feet elevation. The volcano spews intermittently. 

We make home visits and help with groceries when a family situation arises. This particular visit the little boy had broke his leg and the parent could no longer make the long journey to the dump to collect recyclables.

Regardless of the situation, my first mission trip was to Guatemala 14 years  and my heart remains firmly planted there!

Last year I was able to bring warm clothing and some cute knitted hats! (check out that baby!) If you would like to help in someway, either donating jackets, warm clothing, beanie babies, or easy to pack toys, I'd love to partner with you! I will be going back late January. If you'd like to support me financially I'd love that too. Send me an email at humblequilts@gmail.com and let's chat!

The quilts below are winging their way to their new home! Thank you!!

Have a lovely weekend!
