Walla Walla Guild Visit

I had an amazing time in Walla Walla with Mary, who coordinated the details!

I arrived early enough for a little fun before the meeting. 

This is how google described one of our stops: 

Powered By Fabric is a private quilting and fabric arts studio in Walla Walla, Washington, owned and operated by local fiber artist Eddie Walker. Located on the southwest corner of 5th and Rose (101 N. 5th St), it serves as a community hub for workshops, sew-ins, and quilting classes. 

Eddie makes quilts in the style I love. Like this strippy quilt!

I love how she uses her space to bring the quilting community together!

 

Next up Stash quilt shop. Mary's favorite! 

It is jammed pack with lovely fabric!

It is located in a historic old building. Look at the reproduction ceiling! Gorgeous!

Look at those darling machines at WW Sew and Vac!

Here is the guild raffle quilt that I will be winning later this year!!! LOL 

It is a very active and busy guild with lots of members! YAY! I love that!

Jean F came from quite a distance and brought some amazing show and tell which included 2024 Humble Quilts quiltalong Homestead!

I love this! Too bad I didn't have someone hold that up for me. I'm a fan of the small red and white stripe print and the center panel. 

Another follower Tina came to the guild meeting and brought her 2 friends. It was lovely to see them! I thought I had a photo but we much have used her camera. 

I met the owner of Highland Quilts in Athena, Oregon at the guild and she asked about purchasing some of my patterns for her shop. Here is my view of the cute town in the middle of farming country! Her shop was jammed packed and was busy for a weekday morning! That is awesome! I cannot believe I didn't take any photos of the shop!

It was such a fun trip!

If your guild is looking for a trunk show or classes please consider me! I'm scheduling into 2027 and will travel or Zoom!

I'm having a great week and hope you are too!

2026 Swap Quilt Linky Party

Came home from Washington to find this treasure safe and sound inside! 

Cherie Moore created this amazing eagle quilt! I can't wait to find the perfect place for it!

Look at this gorgeous backing! Almost too pretty to hide!!

And she included this lovely 250th year panel by Stonehenge! Thank you so much Cherie!

                              This antique was my inspiration for the quilt I made Doreen. 

The quilt I made for Doreen.

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!
