I'd Love to Come to Your Guild! from Humble Quilts

Good morning quilt friends!

I would love to come and visit your quilt guild. I have several lively trunk shows and workshops to choose from. See them HERE

I have a pretty flexible schedule and it is fairly easy to get just about anywhere in the US from Central Oregon. 



 




My next scheduled guild is in Canada via Zoom- so that is an option no matter where in the world you are! I can be contacted to fill in for a cancellation and would love to do that if my calendar is open. 

If you are a guild member please ...

Quilt Show! from From the Strawberry Patch...

I mentioned the Belknap Mill Quilters Guild in the previous post, they have provided a quilt on every bed in the rehab facility where my Dad is currently residing. It just so happened that the guild was holding their annual quilt show this past weekend. After telling dad "good-bye" I was able to stop and visit the show on our way out of town. The show was held at a local Community College, this

 This was my view of the lovely Valley Quilters Guild in Hemet, California!

I'd love to visit your guild! 


Palm trees, a sure sign I'm not in Central Oregon!


Below was a few of the show and tell. 





This was a weaving! I love it!

My host was Grace and she brought this family quilt for show and tell 

It looks like another string quilt idea!

I loved the pieced backing!

Madison Station Quilt Guild from Humble Quilts


I landed in Huntsville, Alabama on Wednesday. Quietest airport I recall ever going to! Huntsville is called Rocket City. It was my first ever trip to Alabama and I had a really wonderful time!


My friend, Sue, who I worked with at the Houston quilt show, was my host. 
We made our way to a few quilt shops.





This was a huge shop and because of a church conflict I ended up teaching at this quilt shop. It had lots of everything, including reproductions, so it was my favorite!!
This was a Lowe Mill, a cotton mill back in its ...

Workshop from Humble Quilts

Yesterday I taught at a local guild. Wow! Fun and busy!!


They were great students and because it was the first time teaching this class I learned how I can teach it better.

 
They excelled!

They overcame the challenges of paper piecing.

They learned machine applique!

Or they opted to hand applique

Shirley struggled with the pp concept, but look at her amazing block!

Such petty varieties!

It was springlike outside and inside yesterday!






I think we were all ready for a break! I hope they finish there block and bring it to next week's guild meeting. I look ...

Here Comes the Sun 2 from Humble Quilts

Here is my final finish of the year. This is similar to the previous Sun block. 

This one I used machine applique and machine quilting. There is no "right" or "wrong" in quilting. 

I'm really thrilled with the outcome. 

I wasn't sure which thread to use for the quilting and asked the facebook group. Like usual, I had a variety of responses. These were my choices. 


This plum is what I used and it looks good. Thank you for all the suggestions. 

This will be a new guild workshop for 2025. If you are interested in hosting me ...

Machine Applique from Humble Quilts

Christenna sent me a photo of her block from the machine applique class I taught in PA! I adore the way she framed it!!  I love it when I'm inspired by "students" work. These ladies certainly didn't need me to hold their hand.  They were amazing quilters!! So fun!

I LOVE meeting other quilters in person! Zoom does in a pinch but there's nothing like being together physically with quilters!
