Friday Fun!

I'm all over the place this week!



Isn't this tree in progress lovely? This belongs to Kathy. I'll be pulling fabric for my February blocks soon.

Here is a lovely quilt and fun setting for Jannie's Tree of Life! I love it!

This came from my friend Linda who moved and was cleaning out "unwanteds" from her sewing space. I'm finally going to get it quilted! I have it folded so you only see 1/4 of it, but it is a beauty!

I've been photographing quilt tops for my ETSY shop. I spy Elsa!

Here is a beauty I will have in my ETSY store soon. Feel free to email me at Humblequilts@gmail.com if interested. 

Like so many older quilts they are not perfect! I LOVE how they made this work!!

I'm heading to a quilt retreat today! I'm looking forward to lots of sewing time and catching up with friends.  Have a terrific weekend.

Lots going on today. I'm thanking the Lord every day for my freedom.

Adventures- Looking Back 2024

 No quilts in this post, but a few of my adventure/travel photos. 


Laurie and I went to the Paducah Quilt Show and had a whirlwind trip in the area, including Nashville.


I was on my way to Tahiti on my birthday! 


I had an amazing mission trip to Uganda. 





We went to a new-to-us Hawaiian Island- Kauai


Beautiful hiking on the coast of Spain.

 

I had a little fun in Barcelona

This past summer we did a little popup shop!




Laurie and I went to the quilt show in Houston. 

And of course, I did a bit of hiking and backpacking this year!









Along with the good, my daughter was in a serious car accident and thankfully she is alive but still dealing with a head injury. I'm glad we are fairly close and have been able to help out when necessary.

It's been a good year!

Looking Back 2024 Quilts

I had a good year of quilts!


I only quilted and bound this one that was made by Marsha. The center was part of the antique block challenge and we bartered when I visited her guild in Idaho! YAY!

Uptown by Gayle Bomers of Sentimental Stitches. 

My little quilt for Humble Quilts swap.


I put in the final stitches of Cousin's Walk!  


Finished Lone Cabin by Red Wagon.
