Antique Block Challenge 2021-2022

Last year I sent out quite a few antique blocks for our challenge. How's it going? 

May 30, 2022 was set as the deadline and this month has already zipped by so fast! I've seen 2 completed quilts and I just recently got mine basted. 

I know I took a photo of the blocks and now I cannot find them. 

Be sure to show us the "before" block and the after quilt. 

Here are a few that I mailed out.

If you'd like to be a part of the challenge and would like a $5 block, let me know! humblequilts@gmail.com

Here is my block from the 2020 challenge.

Just trying to keep it fresh in your mind!'

Love ya"

 

Humble Quilts Class or Workshop?

Since I'm training for a half marathon I've had lots of time to let my mind wonder about Humble Quilts and what I want 2022 to look like. 

I want to ask you all what you think about a short class once a month. We could do a small quilt project, learn about antique quilts or reproduction fabric. I think the possibilities are endless.  Please watch the short video and let me know what you think!

Leave me a comment or send me an email at HumbleQuilts@gmail.com for any ideas!

Thank you so much!

 

Wool Applique

I completed this wool applique last night! Such a pretty little project. 

Not perfect! Handmade and humble by me! lol

I opted to back it in a brushed homespun. 

This is how I found the block in a drawer in my sewing room. I ended up finding a larger tablerunner pattern in a book by Rebekah Smith. 

I brought it with me to Idaho and buttonhole stitched it down . 

Then promptly came home and burned it! Aargh! I removed the stitches and sewed it back onto a new piece of black.

Then finished it with this lovely gold wool.

I put it on Etsy if you'd like to own it!

Thank you for those of you who have purchased finished items and patterns.

Have an amazing weekend friends!

 

Christmas Gifts

 A generous blog reader sent me these Temecula mini quilt postcards! They are adorable! Thank you Annette!

I talked to Katy, blog HERE, as I feel like she knows a lot about the Go! merch and she recommended this set. Wow, I got a really great deal and bought it as a Christmas present for myself. Yes, I've used it quite a bit already!

My sister had this mug made for me and gave it to me when I arrived in Idaho this past weekend. 

I love it so much!

I have 2 quilts for sale. You can see them by clicking on the upper right photo or HERE. 

Have a great week friends!
