String Quilts YOUR Way!


The day after my trunk show to Madison Station Quilters we had a fun class! 
String quilts your way allows participants to choose what string quilt they want to make. The quilters are so creative!

 
Such cool fabric.

She was taking a more modern approach. I hope she shares her finish with me!

So simple but so many ways to set these! I spy the makers pj fabric made by her mom when she was little. I also spy adult greens! lol 

A simple choice of solids packs a big punch!


The white was also the foundation. 

My fav- blue and lights!




Lots of layout options!!


Such cool fabric!

Lay it out this way....


Or that way...?

It was a great time!

If you are a part of a guild and would like me to have a trunk show or workshop, please reach out to me or some one at your guild. My email is humblequilts@gmail.com Thanks!

Antique and vintage quilts were also enjoyed!

This is such a unique quilt top from the 1940's. The pattern was in Kansas City Star. I've never seen this before and completely love it!




Here was a sweet quilt that David shared with me. A women brought it into the shop to get quilted. It was very charming!
I'm so sorry I cannot remember your name! Look at this wonderful string quilt that she had quilted with fans- perfect choice!

The more I looked the more sweet things I saw!

Such cute cowboy fabric. 

And spiderwebs?! What a mix of fun!!

Thank you Madison Station Quilters.


Next week I am visiting Valley Quilters Guild in Hemet, CA. If you are anywhere nearby I'd love for you to drop in. Send me an email for more info- humblequilts@gmail.com

We've had some beautiful weather but fall is in the air!! 
Have an amazing weekend!!

  4. Thanks for sharing, Lori. Love all the string blocks and the 1940 quilt puzzles me. I can't figure out the block or the construction. It's a very interesting quilt to say the least. Love the fabric too. Enjoy! ;^)

  8. What a fantastic workshop. It's a shame I live so far away, otherwise I would definitely come along and sew along.
    The string quilts have captured my heart.
    Best wishes.
