Friday quilt show

Pictures of a quilt show I attended on Friday. So many beatiful quilts. It is really hard to pick a favorite.

This quilt is an raffle quilt for a school in West Lynn, OR. The lady standing in from of the quilt is the maker of the quilt. She did a great job and it is a beautiful quilt. Fussy cutting and the back is really nice. If you are interested in a ticket you can contact Nanyct Ware @503-656-2833. The name of the quilt is Autum Leaves.

Bears and quilts

Here is where my bears in the farmhouse is. I will wait for the next set of instructions, they come out next week. I have decided to name the quilt Bears in the Posies. More quilts from yesterdays quilt show. I think they are self explanatory. Hope you enjoy this little show.

quilt show today

Today my friend Diane, and I went to a quilt show in Milwaukee, Or. It is an annual show and I usually have a few quilts in it but I missed the dead line for entries this year so I went and enjoyed others works. This is an original by Jon and Rita Weston. I do not know these people but they had a very good display and Don is a longarm quilter. You can find his services at Blue Sky Quilting. I really liked this quilt.

This is a very clever apple quilt that was on display. It is named "APPLES" by Cathy Goddard.

I just realized this picture is upside down. Oh well, the top is just a pretty. I don't know the name or maker of this quilt. It is a really nice quilt though.

Another upside down picture. I like the all over affect of this quilt. I don't know the name or quilter either.

Hey, look who I found at the show. This is our very own Cher of Marathon Quilter. She is busy with hand work and selling raffles tickets for this quilt. If interested you can contact her through her blog. Good seeing you Cher. Your smile is always a welcome.

I like this quilt. It is just beautiful, springy.

I like the colors in this quilt.

A very nice fall quilt. I like the leaves. I just might have to try this one.

Well that is enough for today. I have more pictures I will post tomorrow or Monday.

My new favorite song

An Angel

I stopped at Goodwill today on my way home from work. I found a book and a photo album to purchase. I was at the cashier and guess what I forgot my wallet at home. I was mortified. The cashier said she would take a check because it was 4.98 total, well guess what, the machine would not take my check. I was saddened but knew I had to leave the items and go, no other option. Well, God had other plans. A very nice man two people behind me offered to pay for my items. He wanted me to have the book I was purchasing. He said he had read it and it changed his life, his outlook on fiances. The book is "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". God had and angel behind me in line. I offered to take his name and address to send the money to him but he would not allow. I will pay it forward, at sometime in my life I will come across someone with whom I can return the favor.

I found out he is a minister from a church in the Seattle area who had come to Portland to drop his daughter off for spring break. He had decided to stop in a Goodwill just at the time when I needed an angel. Coincidence? I don't think so.

We The People

Spiderweb completed

Not the best pictures but the best I could get. This quilt is big. It is 91x 92 so you might as well say square. I am going to take it to quilt group tomorrow so I will try to get a better picture than. Maybe I

can have a couple of the ladies hold it up for me.

Done is done and it will be a charity quilt.

Some competed quilts

I made this quilt during the month of December. Quilted it during our snowstorm at Christmas. I will donate this to charity later in the year. As you can see I did not have enough of the printed fabric so I substituted dark green for the corners. I followed Bonnie's pattern, Scrappy Mountain Majesty. What a great pattern.

I made this quilt in Jan. I followed a pattern from the book "Quilts for people who still don't have time to quilt." I like how it turned out. I looks so warm and cozy to me.

I finally quilted Prairie Dust. I like how it turned out, all except of the feathers that is. I am not happy with my feathers. I should just admit to myself this is not my forte. I will donate this quilt to charity.

Here I am quilting my spider webs, another quilt pattern by Bonnie. You can find it using the link above. This will also be a charity quilt.

So there are three charity quilts for this year. Four counting my stash quilt that I made following Judy L's pattern.

Requirements completed

Here are my bear paw squares for the Bears in the Farmhouse quilt. Waiting for the next set of intructions. Here is the completed scrap quilt. I don't think I did a very good job with the borders. The quilt is a bit puckery and wobbly but some kid out there will love it. I like the colors I chose for the borders.

I can't really say I like the inside of the quilt but hey, fabric out. Who knows where else I would have used this fabric. It is GONE GONE GONE!!! and that is a good thing.

May God Save America.

Working away

Here are the blocks I am working on. The 4 setting blocks which go the the stash quilt of Judy L.

This is the bear paw for the quilt along of Judy L. As you can probably guess I like doing her patterns. I have participated in almost everyone of her quilt alongs and have never been disappointed. If you have never done them, you should really consider sewing along with us next time.

Have a good evening and May God Save America.

Anyone Interested?

I have an extra sonicare toothbrush is anyone interested in purchasing it?

Stash quilt blocks

These are my light/dark stash quilt blocks.

Week-end sewing

I sewed this week-end and this is what I have come up with so far. This is a really cool pattern free on Kim's Big Quilting Adventure blog. It is easy to make and can be made with the larger sized shamrocks like I have here or smaller ones. I wanted quick and easy so I did the larger ones.

I completed quilting Prairie Dust. I have yet to cut the binding and sew it on.

I also canned 14 pints of asparagus.

Today we went to church with Otis and his parents. What a great week end. I must be getting to bed now. A new work week begins.
