Time to share some Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

It is way past time to share some of the finishes that were delivered in late 2025.

This sweet little patchwork quilt top was sent in by Vicki. I think a charm pack was used. Nancy sent in the double wedding ring "cheater" fabric which looked amazing with it.

Sue sent in this lovely quilt top. I always call this a Twister block, but I don't know it's real name. It looks fantastic in these solid fabrics. Karen sent in this backing fabric and local quilter Laura stitched on a bunch of butterflies.

Here is a fun quilt ...

Oh Scrap! : Strings from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I hope all of you survived the holiday. Arthur is back to his cheeky self and we just spent Christmas goofing off. It was quiet and relaxing. Just what I needed!

I am spending the end of December cleaning, organizing and planning for the new year.

So not a lot of sewing right now.

But I did want to share a bunch of fun string quilts that made it across the finish line. I think Elana sent us these blocks a long time ago. I handed them off to our new board member Karen with some black fabric sent in ...

A Big Littles Show from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I have finally found a bit of time to sit down and write a blog post. Sorry it has been so long since I have shared some finishes. It is going to be all about small quilts today.

This project came from a local estate sale. In amongst some fabrics were some whole and some partial blocks. I couldn't toss them so I made this little quilt top. It was kind of small so I added a dark blue border. I also added this dark blue backing fabric that Dorothy sent.

It has the words Sweet Dreams on it ...

Oh Scrap! : Not my Work from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I have been working on my flannel blocks this past week but I haven't taken any photos. I realized today that not only do I need to get the newsletter out, but I also need to write up the instructions and release the next block drive. So, I am taking an easy way out and sharing someone else's scrappy quilt.

Pam is currently our board secretary. She made a bunch of Tula Pink quilts for her granddaughters. All those quilts generated a lot of scraps. She has been using them to make quilts for Many Hands and Many ...

The Quilts Keep Coming! from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I hope all of you who celebrate, had a nice Thanksgiving. Arthur and I enjoyed a quiet day snuggling on the sofa streaming Stranger Things from the beginning.

It was nice to relax....

Still looking through my older photos finding pictures of quilts I haven't shared yet. This fabulous RWB quilt top came from Joni. I think she also sent in the backing. We have been scouring all the quilt tops we have to get all the patriotic ones done so we can start putting together tops from our RWB block drive. I have volunteers sorting them into color ...

Finally, Some Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Janet and I have both been sick so we haven't had too many chances to take photos. I scoured all my photos and records and discovered some quilts that missed getting posted to the blog.

Time to share a few!

Here is a fun one for the dog lovers. Kristin sent in the quilt top, the backing and the binding. Local quilter Cindy quilted it with loops and little paw prints. If I remember correctly, the backing fabric is flannel, so it is extra cuddly.

Kristin sent in this little cutie also. My guess it is one of those ...

Elizabeth's Quilts from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I am WAY behind in posting photos and getting out receipts for items we have received in the mail. My porch has been a busy place in the last few weeks and I haven't done a great job of keeping up.

With our craft sale event and today's board meeting all complete, I am hoping I can get caught up this week. Who knew a tiny quilt nonprofit could grow so quickly!

Elizabeth has been a donor of ours for quite some time. She has also been a great mentor to me because she has been on a ...

Oh Scrap! : RWB String from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Finally, the end to a crazy busy week. You can bet I will be spending Sunday napping to catch up on much needed sleep.

We had our craft sale Friday and Saturday. The turn out wasn't great but we still sold quite a few items. What didn't sell will be stored for future sales - we will definitely do something similar again.

I didn't want to miss an Oh Scrap!, so I am just sharing one of the scrappy quilts we finished this week.

Here is a fun Veteran string quilt made from a combination of blocks sent ...

Finally some Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I have been so busy the last two weeks, I don't think I have shared many finishes. So last night I made time to write a Friday post. And wouldn't you know it, I messed up with my password and Google put me in a time out for four hours. Sigh!

But I am back today with a few photos...

This quilt top was sent in by Janice. Thanks to Holly we had a nice patriotic fabric for the back. Our newest Board Member Bev quilted and bound this one, so it is already for delivery.

Here is ...

Colorful Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

There were a number of quilts finished this week. Here are a few I am ready to share. I ran out of labels so I will have to photograph and share the others later.

Kristin sent in this quilt top and backing fabric. The colors in this one are so amazing! It has already been sent out to find its new home.

This colorful 9-patch quilt top was sent in by Rena. We decided it was perfect for this purple plaid fabric sent to us by Kat. It really brought out the purple on the front. I sent this one ...

Fridays are for Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I just realized I haven't posted any finishes this week. The newsletter gets released later tonight so I have been focused on getting that done. We are still completing quilts at the rate of about one per day.

I always feel like we are cheating when we make a quilt from just a panel. But this little quilt is so very cute, I am not sorry at all! Kathy sent in this panel and the lovely fabric for the backing. I sent it off to local longarm quilter Terry and she finished it up for us.

This little quilt ...

Mid-Week Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Apologizing for the shadowed photos. Janet came over early and I was still in my PJs. I wanted to spend as little time as possible outside!

Karen sent in this lovely quilt top and backing. It looked like a simple pattern that uses 2.5" strips.

Another quilt top made with 2.5" strips. Kristin made this one and sent in a pieced backing fabric. She just sent in these quilt tops but they have been jumping to the front of the line. I have been so busy, I haven't had time to sew backings. Her current shipment has ...

It was a Busy Week! from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I recently shared some of the smaller quilts finished this week. We also had some larger lap quilts cross the finish line too.

This quilt top has been finished for a while, but it had to wait in the queue until it was needed. I had sent a fat quarter bundle to Jeanine and she sent me back some quilt tops. This is one of the RWB ones she did. The backing fabric came from Kat.

I have a big box filled with old fat quarters that were gifted to me years ago. I decided to pull some coordinating ones ...

Some Small Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Happy Blocks and Split 4-Patch Blocks

Some are from block drives, and some were tops received to complete.

All look amazing!

Marci sent in this quilt top. I love how she set her blocks in a very unexpected way. Thanks to Samantha, we had the perfect backing fabric.

This quilt was made from our Happy Block block drive we did a while ago. I had Janet make a bunch of small quilts that fit on a single width of fabric so I could quilt them all together. This was one of them. Someone sent in quite a bit of yardage ...

Some Scrappy Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

This week, a lot of the quilts we finished looked like they were all made from scraps.

It was a fantastic week!

Nann sent in this lovely quilt top made from lots of cross weave plaids. I sent if off to Laura, who quilted and bound it. It took us a whole to find a backing but Barb sent us this pretty fall colored one that looked great.

Here is a quilt made from some of Marci's super scrappy blocks. I love how it has a woven design to it. We made this one a bit smaller than usual ...

Whole Lot of Pink from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

The heart quilts are slowly getting put together. Some of these are going to be used for a secret project. It is only secret because I just haven't been able to tell you about it.

I really love how these are turning out. You guys did a great job with the low volume blocks. This one is the third one we have completed. Board Member Pam actually pieced this quilt top for us. Thanks to Jenny, we had the perfect pink backing - it has tiny loops and little hearts.

We are still working through some flannel squares we received ...

Sue's Quilts from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Every so often, I get a few big bags of finished quilts from Sue. She lives up in Washington and the quilts catch a ride with Margaret, who has occasional business here in Oregon.

I thought I would share what was sent in the last shipment.

They are not even labeled yet!

Love this scrappy bright quilt. The colors are so happy and vibrant. On the back is a Fisher Price fabric that really ties it all together.

This one is so cuddly! It has both a flannel top and backing. I love the diamond quilting Sue did on this ...

Finally some Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

We finally got some photos of some quilts taken. Time to share them with you...

My friend Karen wanted to burn through some of her batik scraps so she made three quilt tops out of squares with some vertical solid strips - each a different color. This one is the purple one. (The other two are blue and green.) We were finally able to use some of this gray, purple and yellow backing fabric we have had for eons. I think Deana picked it up from an estate. Local quilter Laura quilted and bound it.

Denice sent us this fun little ...

Some Friday Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Earlier this week, I shared some small quilts that were completed.

Today, I have a few finishes that are larger.

Earlier this year, I sent Jeanine a few pre-cuts we had in inventory and she turned them into quilt tops. She decided on the pattern and supplied the background fabrics. She made this one from a Charm pack. I love how it turned out.

Local Quilter Laura quilted this and sewed up the binding for us.

Whooo loves owls?! Kristin sent us this quilt top and the flannel backing fabric. Laura quilted some lovely hearts on it to finish it ...
