Fun on a Friday from Humble Quilts

Hello friends!

Here is a little side project I have going. Sending these off to a friend today.

I am fairly close to having the top completed to my 250th USA quilt!

I've been following social media on several visitors here in USA for the FIFA World Cup. It has been very refreshing! They are finding joy in the small things! Country music by Ella Langley, free soda refills, Bucees and college stadiums.

I've been getting some hiking in as well as I have a big end of the summer goal.

All the Applique, All the Time from Quilty Folk

There's a lot of applique stuff going on around here. Are you surprised? First off, I went off on a little detour with the pear cut-outs. Was digging through the applique parts and pieces totes and somehow these just sort of jumped on the wall. All from left behind bits and pieces, including the background rectangles!

An impulsive start

Another project that just all-of-a-sudden starting coming together is this 'Wildflowers' quilt. The background was finished up sometime in 2023 and I really thought it was done. Yep. Until my mom gave me a piece of fabric with these gorgeous ...

My Favorite Basket Quilt from Ann Quilts

I absolutely love this quilt! If it had been in a shop rather than coming to me for repair, I might have just "had" to buy it.

Part of why I love it is that green is my favorite color. (To see another 1930s quilt with a green background, take a look at a Magic Vine quilt which I bought as a nearly completed top, which I finished and quilted.) I also love the use of that dark green in (most of) the cornerstones and corners of the quilt. They are a great example of how a bit of a ...

The Pied a Terre Quilt from Ann Quilts

A couple of years ago, I told Part 1 of this story, in which I mended a memory quilt for a customer. She shared its sweet story for me to share here. On the post, you can see the quilt and read the story of family love across generations and many miles. I've also described the mending and rebuilding that I did.

Here are a couple of photos from Part 1 to whet your whistle. In today's post, I will share Part 2.

Part 2 began when I received this email from the quilt owner.

More baskets from Espritpatch

We all travelled back to England this week to see friends. Before we went, I made 2 more baskets as gift.

A Barbie pink one for my youngest to gift to her friend

and a blue one with horses for my eldest daughter to gift to her friend too

After my first basket following the tutorial for the binding, I didn't like the bulk at the junction so I decided to join the binding with a 45 angle and it is much neater.

I also serged the seam of the lining to have a neater finish there too ...

Bounty of Baskets from Humble Quilts

My basket runner is complete! I really love it. I kept the quilting simple and I like that it compliments the baskets and there isn't so much quilting that is takes away from the applique design. I'll be teaching this class this summer in Dayton, Oregon. It should be fun!

Let's have a great week!

FunDay MonDay from Humble Quilts

Good morning and happy August!

Hmm, wonder what is going on in my sewing room?

Baskets! Cheddar background and fun printed baskets. The handles will come soon. I thought I'd make these a bit smaller and I have a surprise setting for them. Because I am offering these for a class having a few different colors combos and settings is good to get quilters thinking outside the box.

And I'm still adding quarter square triangles to my center panel for the challenge.

Saturday Elsa and I went to a mountain lake to hike and beat the heat!

Summer Baskets from Humble Quilts

I got a little chance to work on my basket project. The setting is what will make it unusual. I'm copying an antique quilt. I hope it works out like I imagine!

These were in with my blues. Does anybody know if this is Japanese writing?

And does it actually say anything?

And which direction would it go?

Any thoughts?

Thanks! Let's make it a great week!

2020 REVIEW - A Basket Making Adventure

2020 was a year for new online ventures and experiences. I joined many who transitioned more personal and work activities to online platforms.

It was exciting to start a new venture with an Amazon Handmade shop! Living Water Quilter, is not just quilts! lol There are baskets made with cotton and nylon rope accented with Kraft-tex, batik fabric and/or beads.

Kraft-tex is one of my favorite accents. I like to use the pre-washed designer colors. The best value are the rolls available by CT Publishing.

A Good Finish from Quilty Folk

Not getting very far with the paperwork, but at least there has been time spent there. Just like with quilting, I figure every little bit accomplished equals forward progress. In better news, there's a new quilt finish! This has been such a cheerful quilt to work on. Can't believe it didn't end up in the hoop much sooner. Totally sanity saving, believe me! Why do people tend to believe that yellow isn't a positive mood enhancer?

A Little Bit At A Time from Quilty Folk

Life has been very disjointed and moody lately. We have deadlines and 'have-to's' out the kazoo. Things happening that seem quite heavy. Or at least it seems that way. It could be that our get-up-and-go is feeling recalcitrant, and everything seems to take an extra dose of effort just to get done. Our kids and grandkids came to visit last weekend, so that was a wonderful window of good times. Nothing like the honest joy of little children to make everything seem just a little bit brighter for a moment or two!

When an Old Quilt Needs a New Home from Ann Quilts

The quilts in my collection are not pristine museum quality quilts by any stretch of the imagination. Sometimes I've bought quilts that are not, well, very sturdy anymore. (For example, the stars quilt that I have been gradually replicating.) And sometimes lovely people give me very, uh, well-loved quilts.

Here's my most recent such acquisition, given to me at a recent quilt study group meeting. It had been found at a sale at closing time, in the discard pile because no one had wanted it. One of the quilt study members had rescued it, and when she spread ...

Lots of hand work in the last several weeks. I finally picked the 'Melon Patch' applique back up and just slogged my way through. Why am I doing this? What in the world was I thinking? And then... Oh my, I just love these colors and fabrics. This is gonna be great! And that's generally the gist of this quilt every single time.

Basket of Hope

I am on a basket making frenzy! Why? I will submit an application and hope to be accepted in a local outdoor art festival this summer. The artist application requires a photo of your booth/table set-up. So, it means I need to make baskets for the photo as well as for the festival.( Assuming I am accepted.)

I try to design/make a few baskets each week to meet my goals. Since my schedule is over-the-top full, I often double or triple dip projects. One project will cover more than one commitment. This time I decided ...
