Linus Blanket

The last time hubby asked me to repair his winter “blanket” it was easier for me to cut it down and rebind. I figured eventually I’d trim it so much it would end up be a small square! Haha 

He’s been asking me again to repair some shredded areas.

I can't keep cutting it so I patched it! 

I only patched the worst areas. He is a happy camper!

That's the extent of my quilting this week!

Lone Cabin- Complete!

I finally finished getting the binding sewn down on the Lone Cabin quilt. 

You can get info on the pattern/book HERE. 

It is an oldie by Red Wagon. 

Many machine quilters don't like to do fan quilting, so I sent it out to a new person. Get info HERE. 

If you do fan quilting on your long arm, I'd love to support a Humble Quilt reader. Please contact me at humblequilts@gmail.com

I took the quilt to the PJ party at Sisters to show Carrie, since I started it at our quilt retreat last year. I'm looking forward to sewing up a storm this year!

 Let's have a great week!

 

Fun on A Friday

It has been awhile since I went to the Early Bird Pajama sale at the Stitchin' Post! It used to open at 6AM, last Saturday it was 8Am. (oh so much better!) 

Because I had just been to Houston and many quilt shops there wasn't anything I needed.

I asked Carrie if she wanted to meet we could get caught up over coffee after we shopped. 

Because I use matching thread when I'm machine appliqueing this looks like it would be terrific. 

I think it is 50weight, but I'm not sure. 

I've never heard of Ruby Star Society, 

I hope you enjoyed that little tour around the Stitchin' Post in Sisters, Oregon. 

On another note, I am up early this morning for my second appointment with an audiologist. 

I've noticed in the last few months my hearing has gotten really bad. I've been through a series of testing and at this point there are no answers. Possibly a virus? Covid? Unknown. So today I'm having a hearing aid consultation. I'm not excited but I'm not a fan of not hearing well either, 

Let me know if you have any experience with this. You can email me at humblequilts@gmail.com 

One more thing, almost 100% of the comments are coming in as no reply commenter. Sorry if I have not been replying or if I replied and it wasn't you who commented! If you can log in to Google before leaving a comment I think that may help. 

Have a good weekend.

 

International Quilt Festival Special Exhibit

My favorite antique quilt exhibit curated by Leah Zieber. 

In no specific order. 

Love the quilted motifs.

I love this quilting in the border.

We were able to get in on Leah's talk. 

Cheater backing? Yes please!

Michelle Yeo was listening to Leah's talk too, but I didn't recognize her. Laurie told me who it was! 

I've been selling some of her amazing fabric (And you've been purchasing!) and I've preordered 2 of her lines for 2025! 

You can go HERE and search YEO to see the beautiful Michelle Yeo fabric I have listed. 

I hope your week is going great.
