Quilt Celebration - June 23rd

On the 23rd, Ruth brought this quilt to celebrate.

I wasn't there, so I'm afraid I don't know anything about it!

Congratulations, Ruth!

Happy Quilting!

Quilt Celebrations for May 12th, 2015

I am so sorry not to have been able to be there last night!

What a wonderful celebration time!

Thanks to Ruth Decker and Susy for the pictures and commentary.....

Geralyn brought three beauties.

The applique motifs are from a Kim Diehl pattern.

I love the simplicity of this.

Bobbi Fenn designed the center for this one.

The wool applique idea is from Primitive Quilts magazine.

I have no details on this one.  I'd love to hear!

Beautiful, Geralyn!!

 Toni brought two lovely quilts...

The warmth of this 9-Patch makes me want to

curl up with a book on the couch!

This fabulous one is made from a

Fig Tree line and is all hand pieced and quilted.

The only machine work is the initial stitching of the binding.

She bought a lot of this fabric and has enough for another quilt!

 Beautiful,  Toni!!

Becky brought this strip quilt.

I don't have any details, but I really like it!

 Fun one, Becky!

* * * * * * *

Jeanine brought her "smalls."

Aren't they beautiful?

Lovely, Jeanine!

Connie and Ruth shared this joint effort for Linus.

As I understand it, Connie pieced it and Ruth Quilted it.

I like the red, white and blue!

* * * * * * *

And Ruth brought this beauty that she has remade

from a much larger quilt to fit Linus size requirements.

Won't someone just love to receive this?

Beautifully done, Ruth!

Thanks again for the pictures and commentary!

Happy Quilting!

April 28th Quilt Celebrations

On the 21st, Rachelle brought a treasure trove

of finished quilts to share with us.

First was this darling nautical-themed baby quilt.

Then a two-fer....

This cute one and a bonus "little" from the triangle scraps.

Aren't they wonderful?

And then a string quilt with a great pattern created from

the same center strip in each block which matches the sashing.

Great idea!

Beautiful as always, Rachelle!

Happy Quilting!

April 21st Quilt Celebrations!

On the 21st, we got to see Ruth's repair job on a quilt she was given.

So much work, Ruth.  Nice job.

And Connie brought the baby quilt for her newest grandbaby,

who we now know is Hazel!

Beautiful, Connie!

Happy Quilting!

April 14th Quilt Celebrations!

We had a few celebrations on the 14th.....

Diana brought her Leavenworth friendship quilt

made of 12 blocks from quilt group friends

who meet each year in Leavenworth and also near White Pass. 

Fun reminders of good times!

* * * * * * *

Joan brought her snowman, which is just darling!

* * * * * * *

I finished "Peace and Healing", a Civil War sampler

for my daughter-in-law which I designed for her.

Barb did the fabulous quilting!

Happy Quilting!!

March 31st Quilt Celebrations!

Jeannie Austin came to visit

and brought with her a couple of her recent finishes.

What a treat to have her with us and get to see her amazing work!

She brought a couple of smaller projects for youngsters.  They're cute!

She brought her Baltimore, which is her version of a larger one with which she helped a friend awhile back.  I wish I would have recorded what she said about it so we could have it here, but I didn't. There is a lot of history surrounding the origins of the quilt that inspired this one.

As always, her work is impeccable.

This one is called "United We Stand" and is made of blocks that were leftover from both Mary Ann and me and our Civil War Sampler quilts, as well as blocks Jeannie and Mary Ann made together.  Then her signature eagles are scattered throughout the piece, crowned by the one at the top.  There are written pieces, too, which commemorate different wars.  

Amazing, Jeannie.

Thanks so much for sharing with us!

Happy Quilting!

March 10th Quilt Celebration!

We had a real treat on the 10th when Jeanine shared her "Happy Quilt".  It's the first time she's delved into wool applique, and what a beautiful result!

These are two of her favorite blocks!

Beautiful, Jeanine!  I agree.  It is a happy quilt!

Happy Quilting!
