Retreat Finale

One final post!

Michelle was working on a baby quilt designed by Cheri. We all loved it and I'm sure baby and momma will too!

 

I made a bit of progress on my Liberty 250 quilt. I shrunk it from 12" to 10" And between my math and sewing, the blocks will now finish at 9.5"!

This flannel panel needs a good press! We all agreed there was no reason to cut up the panel as it was so darling. This is a charity quilt for my guild.

And Carrie made progress on her Lone Cabin quilt border. It needs one more border for the top to be completed. 

This is Christy's center of the Peppermint Twist of Jo's. She was having a hard time getting everything to fit, so we helped! It is so charming!

Carrie and I have 4 bags we are bringing to Guatemala! Thank you to all who donated!

Retreat Week Recap

Three of us were able to start our retreat last week!

Christy's Chilowi (Quiltville mystery) was first up on her to-do list.

Carrie left her machine foot pedal so she was working on some visible/boho patchwork for her granddaughter.

I wanted to get my machine applique completed on the Bible Quilt so I got to that right away. 

Carrie resurrected her Lone Cabin quilt top! Love this so much!  We picked up her foot pedal on Saturday. 

Here is a link to my finished quilt HERE. I have a the book in my Etsy shop HERE if you are interested. 

I heard about a stash sale so we made it there early Saturday. 

A stop at the quilt shop was next! Here is The Quilt Basket in Bend. Not overly friendly. 

Anvil Sewing in Bend. A lot of machines- friendly staff.

More to come!

And just in case we need a reminder. 

 

Retreat Week

Last year all of us decided to make the Lone Cabin quilt or at least part of the quilt. You have seen mine many times but here are the girls progress on their quilt. They are looking great!

Here is Carrie's

Michelle's

Christy's. Tada! Top done!

I think Christy and Michelle said they may only make the cabin. So much for that plan. I love them all!

We have the condo for a week but every year it is a bit different as to how long everyone can stay. We got a quick photo before Michelle had to head home to a new job! (yay for employment! Boo for having to leave early)

It has been chilly but wow, so pretty!

I've been getting out every day and enjoying a walk before the snow comes. 

Mt Jefferson was looking awfully pretty this morning.

A hawk looking for his next meal.

The river trail was pretty but seeing ice floating down the river made me cold! haha

I hope your week is going well. 

Much Love!

 

Lone Cabin- Complete!

I finally finished getting the binding sewn down on the Lone Cabin quilt. 

You can get info on the pattern/book HERE. 

It is an oldie by Red Wagon. 

Many machine quilters don't like to do fan quilting, so I sent it out to a new person. Get info HERE. 

If you do fan quilting on your long arm, I'd love to support a Humble Quilt reader. Please contact me at humblequilts@gmail.com

I took the quilt to the PJ party at Sisters to show Carrie, since I started it at our quilt retreat last year. I'm looking forward to sewing up a storm this year!

 Let's have a great week!

 

Lone Cabin

I got my Lone Cabin quilt back but have not had a chance to make or put a binding on it. I was excited to share it with you.

I used a new quilter on this one.

I'll have the binding ready for this winter!

2 girlfriends and I made it out to Central Washington for a big backpack trip.

BOOM! 25ish miles in rugged and beautiful country! We were in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. 

 

Lone Cabin Top- Done!

Life has been a bit of a zoo but I've managed to get this Lone Cabin quilt top completed! YAY! I feel like the outer border is a bit too dark,   but it is too late now. It is off to the quilter!

 

Summer temps are in full force- love watching the birdbath!!

Deer were getting a drink from it last night. We let them get a drink before we scooted them out of the yard. 

I hope you are having a lovely summer.

Pop up Shop and Lone Cabin

 Just a reminder if you ae going to be in the area or driving by on your way to the Sisters Outdoor Show.

No hours are listed because it is an all day event! If we aren't there, we will be in 5 minutes!

Got the top together! Whoop! Whoop! The borders should be pretty simple to add. 

I hope your week has been great. Mine has!

Fun on a Friday!

Good morning quilt friends!

I've got pieces cut out and ready to assemble the main body of the Lone Cabin quilt. Progress! yay!

I did an early Zoom call to a lovely guild in Richmond VA this week. 

And I am down to 2 weeks and 1 day before leaving for Uganda with Enduring Treasures Ministries.

Have an amazing weekend!

 

Stars All Around

These little stars are smaller than the first ones I made. Oh my goodness! That one on the left is hilarious! But it is primitive and I think once it is in a quilt it was be as noticeable to me. These are the 3 I managed to get together before leaving for Paducah. Once i have 3 more, I'll be read to start assembling the quilt center!

Nobody wanted the book so I guess I'll throw it away.  See the details HERE.

The book has found a home! 

I'll be at the Paducah show today! email me at humblequilts@gmail.com if you'll be there too!

 

Lone Cabin+ Red Wagon Book Giveaway

Here is some progress from the Lone Cabin quilt.

Carrie was out of town and used that time to do hand applique on these. 

Christy is doing hand applique with a buttonhole stitch. 

More of Christy's

I got my cornstalks appliqued. I only know they are cornstalks because that is what the book calls them! hahaha

Here is Michelle's log cabin.

I've got to get back to the pesky stars!

 

Laurie gave me a book that has this pattern in it. It has some damage and she cannot sell it. I know several of you were looking for the book but didn't want to pay too much.

Here is my proposal. If you would like to make a donation to Enduring Treasures for any amount 

(even $5) to help me get to Uganda I will send you the book! If there is more than one wanting it I will do a drawing. 

You can send me cash or check (and I'll forward the $ to the ministry in my name)

This is the village that the pastor training will be taking place. 

Our team leader and the one who started the ministry is in Uganda now, hopefully getting information about what specifically we will be doing. 

Thank you!
