There's a little something different going on here today! I have been asked to be a part of the 2019 Online Quilters Meet & Greet hosted by Benita of Victoriana Quilt Designs, which starts today and runs through the whole month of September.
Click the photo above or HERE to meet new bloggers!
I think it is a good opportunity to meet new bloggers and possibly introduce a few new readers to Humble Quilts.
I hope you'll read to the end and see how to win BIG prizes!!
I am the face behind Humble Quilts. I took my first quilt class from Jean Wells at The Stitchin' Post in 1993 and have been quilting ever since!! I love to reproduce quilts from the Civil War era and making small quilts is my way to test out different color combinations or techniques.
This little quilt is one of my recent favs! I made this to commemorate the total eclipse of the sun in 2017. My town was one of the areas that experienced "Totality", hence the name of the little quilt. This one was much more difficult than most little quilts I make.
I started blogging in February 2009- wow! 10 years now! I have a facebook group as well. You can find it HERE. I love the encouragement we share and receive through quilting and new friendships!
If your guild is interested in seeing more of my quilts I am available to lecture. Check it out HERE.
Every blog you visit will give you a chance to win the grand prize! Click HERE to enter or click the photo below. (Keep reading for my personal giveaway!)
And if you'd like a chance to win a little something from ME, leave a comment here. If you are a no-reply blogger and do not leave your email address, you cannot win. :(
If you are a new reader I hope you'll leave a message and let me know you found me through Victoriana Quilt Designs.

ReplyDeleteHi! I 've been reading your blog since you began--10 years! And have enjoyed every post. You influenced me so much--reopened my eyes to making small quilts and gave me the courage and incentive to make that first large applique quilt back in 2012.[Lynda Hall Porch quilt]. Thanks for being such a positive reliable blogger, it means a lot to solo quilters like me especially.

ReplyDeleteHi Lori! I have followed your blog for years, and have made several of the little quilts you have hosted as sew-alongs. It is great seeing a familiar face here in the Meet and Greet! I loved following your blog through the total eclipse - I was in a partial area, and appreciated experiencing it vicariously through your eyes.
ReplyDeleteLove your little sun quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love your little total eclipse quilt. It is very striking. I found you through Victoriana's Quilting meet and greet.

Hope you get many new followers from the meet and greet.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, I have only been following your blog for the past year or so. I was referred by a quilting buddy of mine. I am enjoying the quilt related posts along with the hiking/exploring posts, especially since my husband and I have decided to relocate to central Oregon (Sisters) from Temecula,CA. some time next year. Thanks for all the inspiration you provide. nettiesniche@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing in the Meet and Greet! It is SEW kind of you to offer a prize for one lucky visitor.
ReplyDeleteI loved meeting you at IQCON in 1998, and meeting you again in Sisters one year. Your Dear Jane inspired me to finish mine. I've always loved what you do, as I love the same type projects! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love your Totality quilt. I started quilting in 1980 after taking a night school course. I haven't looked back.
ReplyDeleteYour "Totality" quilt is Beautiful!! Definitely a "Remembery Treasure" for you :)
ReplyDeleteI arrived at your website today through the Victoriana Quilt Designs page. I really liked seeing your blog and found the information on "no reply bloggers" new and enlightening. I'm still not sure if I know how to get to my dashboard for Google+ to check out if I fit into this category; but I'm going to attempt to do so now. Thanks for that eye-opening news. God bless.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a pleasure to read your posts!
ReplyDeleteLove reading your posts, have been doing so for a while now. Not sure if the give away has already happened but just wanted to say how much I enjoy reading about Oregon and your camping adventures! So inspiring. I love your little quilts too. I'm on the opposite side of the country, on the north shore of Massachusetts. Jan in MA Janice.Hebert01@gmail dot com
