Guild Meeting- Walla Walla

 If you will be near Walla Walla  on May 12th I will be doing a trunk show for the Village Quilters Guild. It starts at 6:30PM at Blue Mountain Community Church, 928 Sturm Street. Because I'm driving I'm able to bring many of my larger quilts to share.

If anyone would like to purchase something from my Etsy store I can bring it. It will save shipping charges.  The link is HERE. 

Also I still have the Lost Garden of Heligan on pre-sale discount! Check that out HERE. 

Shown above, Shenandoah Stars- antique (purchased in VA) and reproduction. 

Have a lovely weekend and for all you moms or mother figures, enjoy your weekend. 

Pre-Sale Lost Garden of Heligan

I'm having my first ever pre-sale! The Lost Garden of Heligan by Michelle Yeo should be in my hands within the week! (hopefully Friday, May 8th!) 

From Michelle about this line:

Ingrid is one of the few people I share my ideas and artwork with when I’m designing a new fabric line or quilt. When designing this line, I wanted to acknowledge our special friendship and how much I appreciate Ingrid’s input, including her willingness to allow me to reproduce some of her antique prints. Ingrid’s family name, on her Father’s side, is St Austell-Moyle which is in Cornwell, England. When Ingrid visited one day we googled her family name, and after heading down the rabbit warren that google lead us, we stumbled upon the Lost Gardens of Heligan. A perfect and fitting name for this fabric collection!

Look at these amazing pillar prints!

"The main print in the line in a stunning pillar print in both the document colour of caramel and a light teal."~ Michelle Yeo

Prussian blue paisley!

"Lost Gardens of Heligan also includes ‘my must’ have’ serpentine prints that I include in all my lines."~ Michelle Yeo

For a limited time I will pre-sale for $13.00 per yard! or $6.50 per half. 

I can take payment via paypal, venmo, check or cash! If you are interested please send me an email at humblequilts@gmail.com and let me know what print(s) you would like, how much yardage, your email and your mailing address so I can bill via paypal. If you prefer other payment methods just let me know. I had to pick and choose which ones I wanted and will only have these 4 beauties!

I cannot wait to see these in person!

Thanks for your support!

 

Humble Quilt Swap- Checking in

 

My little quilt is winging its way to its new home! I see many others are zig zagging the US and the world right now!

Just wanted to remind you that May 9th is the deadline to have your quilt in the mail! If it is heading overseas I hope you will get it mailed sooner than later. 

The quilts I've seen have been wonderful! 

Have a lovely weekend!

Multifarious Monday

I made a quick trip to San Francisco for a Northern CA Meet the Teacher event. I think it went great and have my first booking for 2027!

You have 3 minutes to give your spiel....

And a total of 6 quilts telling about your trunk shows and workshops. I think it went great and made some good connections and gave a hug to an old friend. (Not old in age!) Hi Nancy! I loved seeing you!

 On my way home I had snow locally! Oh fickle spring!

Then we had a lovely day! My son and his girlfriend came and went hiking with me. I love this picture so much!

I needed mileage so I opted to take the river trail and they went up and over! I hoofed it pretty good so I wouldn't keep them waiting and I beat them! It was fun to see them coming down the ridge.  (They are right in the middle)

My SIL passed away in 1986 at the age of 29. My other SIL had this unfinished from her ever since then.

When she heard Rene did a stitchery for me she gave this to me to give to Rene. I'm sure my SIL made this when she was working on cross stitch and embroidery. My daughter was thrilled with it and when we get together we'll try and figure out how she can complete the partially completed cross stitch and give it to her cousin. He was 5 years old when his mom died so it is nice to have things and meant something to her. 

My little swap quilt is going out in the mail today! I hope everyone is making progress. 

Let's have an awesome week!
