Mountain Meadows Quilt Guild

What a lovely group yesterday that I spoke to! 

It was nice I was able to drive and bring a few more of my larger quilts. 

The trunk show was Reruns, Quilts Inspired by the Past. 

I start with reproductions from 1940

and work my way back through time. 

Ohio Miami Valley Quilt

An English quilt (repro of course)

Abe Lincoln museum quilt designed by Barbara Brackman. (someone was asking me about that pattern the other day and I cannot find your email)  In this photo I was showing a block I'd used my sons boxer shorts fabric! Anything is fair game to quilters!!! LOL 

I'm hoping to teach later this year for the guild although I could tell there wasn't much left to teach most of these ladies and gentlemen!!

I'd love to teach at your guild! Could you please pass the word to your guild? My next 2 guilds meetings are in Alabama and California. 

 I hope you are having a great week!

 

Monday Funday!

This is a big catch up post with not a lot of quilting. 

Beautiful French Polynesia!

Here's our kitchen with that amazing view! That roll-up window was great!

The days were pretty short but the sunsets were amazing.

Taken at the Polynesian dinner and show we went to. 

 

The flower crowns were so pretty! I noticed them mostly being worn on Sunday. 

I recognized this woman/server from a year ago when we ate at this restaurant. 

The islands are lovely and still generally not visited that much by tourists. 

I have to sneak in a little photo of my daughter's boyfriend at Cannes Film Festival. He works hard and we are very proud of him. The movie premiered at Cannes and will be released this fall I believe. The previous movie, Rebel Ridge, is still getting good reviews and a possible Emmy nomination. 

My son came early for a bachelor party so we could hike. It was his first time to the "Eagles Nest!" 

Girlfriend weekend camping and hiking! So much fun!

A quick trip to Washington for my Grand Nephew's high school grad party.

The speaker at quilt guild was sharing about her Stickle Quilt. This one isn't hers but I thought the fan quilting was an interesting choice. It looks good. 

I'll be in Sunriver sharing at the quilt guild on Tuesday. If you are nearby, please come! You'll find info HERE 

I'll finish my Monday Funday on Wednesday!

Have a great day!

Parsonsfield Revisited

At the new quilt guild I am attending Nancy shared with me her Parsonfield little quilt. YAY!

The fan quilting is super sweet and perfect for this!

An orphan block name tag! What a great idea! I always forget until he morning of guild that I'd like to make a name tag. I love this!

I hope you are doing great!

 

My Swap Quilt

Chantal from France was getting concerned about the swap quilt she sent. It took about 3 weeks to arrive. I know several other quilts that are working there way overseas. This year feels a bit slower.  There are a few on the way and only 5 more to add to the linky! Nice work!

Here is my adorable quilt from Chantal. 

 

 

Look at this amazing antique toile that Chantal said was likely a curtain from her grandmother!

What a precious gift. I will treasure it and use it wisely!

How sweet is this towel from Strasbourg!? I love it!

This was in the package and I had to ask what is was. My first thought was a needle case and it is! Perfect for carrying  pins or needles for on the go projects. I admit to getting stabbed with pins and needles in the past while carrying small projects to work on!! Thank you!

Even the package with all the stamps was cute!

Thank you Chantal! XXOO

As I am getting this ready to post there are 46 little quilts on the linky party. See them HERE.
