Ohio's Miami Valley Sampler Quilt- Made in Oregon

 Here is the finished Ohio Sampler quilt. Pieced in Oregon, machine quilted in Ohio.


The quilt was a mix of both of these books. 

My friend and quilter did a wonderful job on this quilt.



It was fun, historical and whimsical!!


Here's my Instagram feed for this week.

It's been a wonderful week and am looking forward to the weekend. 

Make it great!

Mt Bachelor Quilters Guild & Quilt Winner


 Look! This was for me!! I was thrilled to be sharing in Bend, Oregon on Monday night. 
 Oh look, there's my first quilt. I made that in my first quilt class with Jean Wells. 
My program was 10 Reasons I quilt. I shared about 20 quilts. 

 There's my Jubilee quilt. (heavily inspired by Gwen Marston)


 My string quilt started in a class with Gwen Marston. 
 My Ohio sampler- just finished this past week. (I'll show you all up close and personal on Friday!)

I'd love to come and visit your guild if you are looking for a lecture or workshop. 
I had a wonderful time and the guild women were so welcoming and inspiring. I took a few photos of their show and tell, but I hit delete on my phone instead of send. Aargh!! 

Without Further ado the winner of the little basket quilt left this comment:


JanetD from Idaho you are the winner! Please send me your mailing address and I'll get it in the mail.
Thanks for all the well-wishes and encouraging comments!! I appreciate each one.

Come back Friday to see lots of close ups of my Ohio sampler. I love it!

1857 Sampler- Month 2

Here is month 2 of the 1857 Sampler shared by Gay at Sentimental Stitches
I was going to try and have one solid fabric in each block..... Oops, missed one!





 Gay also has a template of diamonds for the corners. Since I am using fusible and machine applique I ironed my fabric to the fusible................ cut 8 1/2 x11..
Then sent it through my printer! It worked!!

Many of you commented to win the basket quilt and you are "no-reply" commenters. (meaning I have no way of contacting you) I have replied to your comment. Either reply to me and add your email address or add your email to your profile and let me know.  Thanks!

Have an awesome Monday!!.
