Mountain Meadows Quilt Guild from Humble Quilts

What a lovely group yesterday that I spoke to!

It was nice I was able to drive and bring a few more of my larger quilts.

The trunk show was Reruns, Quilts Inspired by the Past.

I start with reproductions from 1940

and work my way back through time.

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!

Golden Valley Quilt Guild from Humble Quilts

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

Thursday night I presented a trunk show to the guild. They meet in Citrus Heights, CA.

Paula Harden met us for dinner and attended the guild meeting. You may know her on Instagram at LaLa Quilts She is an extremely talented quilter so was thrilled she would want to meet me and see my quilts.

Saturday we met for class (I'll give you highlights on Friday about the day between trunk show and workshop)

stash report August 27, 2023 from Making A Lather

I had a finish this week which makes me happy, and, helps with the yearly stash numbers.

At open sew, yesterday, someone, surprised me with a quilt top that she had made with fabric that I had donated last month. First of all, the turnaround time was impressive, and, the fact, that she knew it was my fabric donation. It makes it much easier to let go of my precious fabric knowing someone will enjoy it. She has plans to add a border, too, from some of it.

wow

trip around the world quilt class from Making A Lather

I have had a trip around the world quilt on my bucket list for a long time. I had tried the Bonnie Hunter free pattern, but, I did not like the outcome. She had promised that any scrappy combination would work, and, I took her at her word. I managed to have scrappy fabrics that did not work. But, I have still admired all of them I have seen. I started investigating the colors and movement, watching and reading and you tube. I was determined to try again. I think the key is to have color groups together in the ...
