Customer Show and Tell, Part 2 from Alamosa Quilter

The first full week of February I had an online BlowOut Event in the online section of my shop. Everyone who made a purchase during the event received a free gift. Vasha wasted no time in turning her free gift into a finished project!

Seriously, she received her package on a Monday and sent me this photo on Thursday of the same week! She received the pattern and fabric license plate as her free gift. All of the fabric was from her stash.

Michele is one of my wool applique and hand embroidery customers. She came into the shop a ...

Customer Show and Tell from Alamosa Quilter

One of the best things about owning a quilt shop is getting see all of my customers finished projects!

Linda took the very first Westalee Ruler Quilting class I offered through my shop, which was in the summer of 2018. She has taken to ruler quilting like a duck to water. She has used her collection of Westalee rulers to quilt quite a few projects - both UFOs and new projects. This is her latest finish along with a close up of the quilting.

The fabric Linda used is called Itsy Bitsy Americana panel and the pattern is called Stacked. She ...

Town & Country Quilters from Wendy's Quilts and More

On Wednesday I was the guest speaker at Town & Country Quilters in Levin.

It was nice to be invited back because I was a guest speaker there back in 2015 when I was just starting my la Passacaglia.

I took along ALL my Millefiori quilts, plus some of my bright Kaffe Fassett quilts.

People were interested in the difference between English Paper Piecing and Hand Piecing. You can read more about hand piecing here and find links to the videos I made.

It's been very hot and humid across much of New Zealand this week. Fortunately my garden ...

Throwback Thursday - A Baby Quilt Show and Tell from Sew........This Is My Blog

I've been looking at my spreadsheet (Yes. I'm that person ..... but only with my quilts), and I noticed there are quite a few quilts I've never blogged about. I thought I would start sharing them with you on Throwback Thursdays, but since it's Friday I think it's going to be more of a "Throwback Any Day!" from now on. Here we go with a Baby Quilt Show and Tell.

In 2015 Hubby asked me to make a quilt for Walt and Mary's (first) grand-baby, and I made "Grampa's Little Genius" for them. You ...

Keeping Track from Patchwork Sampler Blog

Do you keep track of all your quilting projects? Do you have lists of projects started and quilts finished? I am terrible at quilt record-keeping which is kind of ironic since I am an accountant. I have lists and spreadsheets, photos and journals, trackers, and progress reports, but I don’t keep them up. My phone camera roll has thousands of unorganized quilt pictures. It’s a mess and I think I’m too far gone to start getting organized on this front. It would be really nice to know how many quilts I’ve made over the past 30 ...

Show And Tell Time! from Wedding Dress Blue

I love Show and Tell time! Readers are so kind to share their progress and projects based on WeddingDressBlue tutorials. Keep them coming!

Here is a lovely (and breezy) version of Growing Up Odd. About time for me to make another one of those! She used 2-1/2″ squares and the quilt finished at approximately 100″. I love the blue sashing.

Here is a Twinkle Baby that Judy made and donated as a comfort quilt. Such wonderful colors! Don’t the twinkl-y star points make you smile?!

018 Show And Tell - Mini Amish from Silly Goose Quilts

Geez Louise, I've made some crap in my lifetime.

This is another example. Made to fit in a laundry. I made two, hung them both and yeah, they looked okay at the time (we're talking years ago) but I'm seriously wondering what to do with them now. I could chuck them, to be honest I'd be too embarrassed to give them away.

These small wallhangings are useless to me now. But what to do with them? Dilemma, dilemma.

See you soon!

013 Show and Tell - Scrappy Pinwheels from Silly Goose Quilts

This is another one of those what was I thinking quilts?

It's all fine, really. But it's far too small to be useful. And it's another one in the cupboard, wondering what I shall do with it. I suppose it's big enough for a dog blanket, and that's a sad statement when the best you can find to do with it is to give it as a dog blanket.

Sometimes it's hard to look back with today's eyes, isn't it? But at the time, there was a need for a design in ...

010 - Show And Tell (Country Friends) from Silly Goose Quilts

A thousand years ago, country chic was the rage. We made dozens of little wall hangings that we would sell in the shop. It's not something I can see anyone wanting nowadays, but back then we did very well out of it.

This was one of the many designs of its style we made all those years ago.

It would be hard to find a place for it now, but back then they were very popular! It's another one of those embarrassing designs that I don't know what to do with. But I have promised myself to ...

007 - Show and Tell (Flower Baby Quilt) from Silly Goose Quilts

Some of these older quilts I'm just downright embarrassed to show you. But I'm going to anyway.

This one was designed for those customers who were brand new to quilting. It's a very basic quilt. Sadly it looks like a dog's breakfast but what can you do?

It's part of my quilting history and I guess it at least shows how far I've come?

Happy quilting!

003 - Show And Tell (Checkered Hearts) from Silly Goose Quilts

Back into the Show And Tell routine, documenting and photographing all my quilts, even the less spectacular ones.

This one was made many, many years ago and has been washed and loved to death.

I look back now at all the flaws, and I need to remember that whilst it may look dreadful, we didn't know as much as we do now and it was loved to death. Washed and washed and washed, now it's faded, the binding has begun to shrink, and it doesn't matter because isn't that what we make quilts for? To wear ...

Westside Modern Quilt Club - Jan 2018 from Pine Needle Quilt Shop

Happy New Year!

We've missed our monthly meetings, and with the full house at our January meeting, it looks like you missed us too.

We started off by talking about our annual challenges. Last year's Transitions exhibit was well received at the NW Quilt Expo and we've been invited to exhibit at the Clark County Quilt Show in April. Our exhibit can include pieces from ANY of our previous challenges. That means it could be a Bridges, The Pearl, Modern Heritage, or Transitions quilt. If you would like to participate, please give your name and phone number ...

NEW YEAR, NEW START from Show + Tell

Who doesn't love a fresh start?

January 1st is really just a continuation in a long stream of days, but who doesn't love a fresh start? A new race to run (not from personal experience, I just thought it sounded good), new colors to explore, spend more time where I feel most alive, experiment more, love more, move closer to what God created me to do and embrace the wonderful gift of joy.
