Completed Projects

Although I haven't had my longarm machine turned on the past few weeks, I have a few that I didn't list on the blog.

This first quilt I organized through my Teaquilts Facebook group. It's part of the Quilts for Pulse charity event. I know I'm going to miss some names, but the following folks made the blocks: Carol Peck, Sandy Panagos (x2), Connie Barnett (x2), Becky Galambos, Kathy Parks, Sandy Lopane, Namcy James, Susanne Randall, and Tea. This quilt is finished even though you are seeing only a quilt top. I seem to have a problem photographing completed charity projects. I pieced the top together, quilted it with a feather panto, made and added binding, and made and added a label. The quilt was mailed yesterday.

This quilt, I call Rainbow Double Wedding Ring, is actually a pattern by Judy Martin. It's called Fabrics of My Life. It's also remade by her from a quilt called Monet Wedding Ring in her Scraps book. I could tell you more about my quilt, but I want you to go to Judy's site to learn more. In addition, this is the Scrap Quilting Club's 2016 yearlong project. Each member had to purchase the Scraps book, or be a member of AQS and download their own pattern. Let's just say I love, love, love this quilt.

Up next is Scrappy 3-D stars. This has been a work in progress for many year, only needing to be quilted. I tried my hand at some free motion quilted feathers. It's not perfect, but it's done!

This Blue Explosion is another WIP that only needed quilting. I used an all over panto just to get it completed.

And my final quilt is another WIP that only needed quilting. Star Explosion had an all over panto quilting design too. I love the yellow and red contrast.

I'll see you in my next post, hopefully showing some of my current works in progress. Until next time, happy quilting!

Lecture and Workshop in Normal, IL

I have been working on challenge projects, but cannot share those until May and June. However, I was the guest lecturer and teacher for the Hands All Around Quilt Guilld in Normal, Illinois last week. I visited three quilt shops in the area and even drove to Washington, IL to visit another.

The hospitatility extended by this guild to their guests is so refreshing. It's a very large guild, but still fells friendly will efficiently getting all the tasks completed. The program committee did a fantastic job. Thanks so much for having me and I hope to see you again.

This post is a combination of photos from the show-n-tell of the guild members and works in progress from the two workshops I taught.

Scrap Quilting Club Show-n-Tell February 2016

I'm progressing well this time with posting scrap quilting club photos. This show-n-tell is from February 27th's meeting. As part of the projects this year, I'm encouraging them to finish previous years' projects.

We had a visitor, Caitlin (sp), visit with her grandmother. This is the fleece blanket she cut and tied at the meeting. We are so proud of her!
