Fun on A Friday

It has been awhile since I went to the Early Bird Pajama sale at the Stitchin' Post! It used to open at 6AM, last Saturday it was 8Am. (oh so much better!) 

Because I had just been to Houston and many quilt shops there wasn't anything I needed.

I asked Carrie if she wanted to meet we could get caught up over coffee after we shopped. 

Because I use matching thread when I'm machine appliqueing this looks like it would be terrific. 

I think it is 50weight, but I'm not sure. 

I've never heard of Ruby Star Society, 

I hope you enjoyed that little tour around the Stitchin' Post in Sisters, Oregon. 

On another note, I am up early this morning for my second appointment with an audiologist. 

I've noticed in the last few months my hearing has gotten really bad. I've been through a series of testing and at this point there are no answers. Possibly a virus? Covid? Unknown. So today I'm having a hearing aid consultation. I'm not excited but I'm not a fan of not hearing well either, 

Let me know if you have any experience with this. You can email me at humblequilts@gmail.com 

One more thing, almost 100% of the comments are coming in as no reply commenter. Sorry if I have not been replying or if I replied and it wasn't you who commented! If you can log in to Google before leaving a comment I think that may help. 

Have a good weekend.

 

Missouri Road Trip Finale

I found this blog post I never finished! Here it is!

I made plans to meet up with Jessica, who works for Missouri Star and lives close by. 

She is fun and a talented quilter!

Oh yeah, she collects quilts too! She didn't mind that I paparazzied around her house. 

Works in Progress- Super organized!

We even got to shop her stash! hahaha

We had a little time before we needed to be at the airport and made a bee line to Quilter's Station in Lees Summit. 

So many reproductions and a very nice store!!

Thanks for traveling along. 

 

The Stitchin' Post- Sisters

In between storms we had a bit of a reprieve and made a quick run to the Stichin' Post in Sisters. 

I bought some sewing machine needles- boring huh? but necessary!

Town was really pretty!

 

Aurora Quilt Show

 Good Morning! My photos loaded backwards so we will start with a quilt shop then the quilt show. 

Not very many quilts shops in my area carry reproductions. I was happy to find one near the quilt show. They offered 20% off my entire order when I mentioned the quilt show! Bonus!

The greens were my favorites!

The Aurora quilt show is a fun one to attend although I don't think there were as many antique quilts on display. (will share those later this week)

I LOVED this fabric! It really made the quilt pop!

I'm not sure what to think of the jacket for a toddler.  It is really darling and maybe for a special event I could understand, but for school? The playground? 

What are your thoughts?

I cannot believe I didn't get a photo of the entire quilt below. 

It was a personalized signature quilt and really sweet with amazing details!

The quilt show takes place at the Aurora Colony Historical Society.

This quilt normally wouldn't be my cup of tea, but I love the way she incorporated orphan blocks into her crumb quilt.

And the quilt below was my favorite from the show designed by Bonnie Hunter. 

On our way we stopped at Trillium Lake for a quick hike around the lake. 

Since Elsa was left at the kennel while we were in Italy, she came along with us to the quilt show. 

She enjoyed the hike as well!

I hope you have a wonderful day and week!
