Fall Festival, Pine Tree Ridge, Show and Tell

Hi there...Long time no see!   I've been waiting to post so that I could include the Fall Festival quilt by Jan Patek.  This is a quilt a long with Lori of Humble Quilts.   Our homework for this month was to finish the blocks and flying geese on the inner portion of the quilt.

Here's mine.

But then, I was in the mood to put the whole quilt together, so....voila!   I'm finished.   

It's a really big quilt (82x92) but I have a wall to hang it on, so I'm looking forward to getting it quilted and ready for Fall hanging.  

Thanks, Lori, for organizing this fun quilt a long.   

I'm not sure if you remember, but Sandy and I also had another quilt a long going on. 

This one is Pine Tree Ridge by Jan Patek.    Sandy finished hers a couple of months ago.   

To refresh your memory, this is hers.

And I finally finished mine...

Now on to April's show and tell.   The first three are all Sandy's.  

Buttermilk Basin little quilt. 

Next up is this darling quilt called "Shoofly Delight" by Catherine Hughes.  

The pattern can be found in Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine, Summer 2014.   

And this one is called "Buried Treasure" by April Rosenthal.  This pattern is from 

American Patchwork and Quilting magazine, April 2015

A couple of years ago I picked up a Frivol little quilt kit by Moda.  

(or as a friend calls it, "quilt in a can")

This one is by Minick and Simpson.   All ready for summer. 

I had been wanting to work on this bunny from Buttermilk Basin called "Primitive Peter", 

so luckily, I got it finished in time for Easter.   

So, that's it for now.   

Have a great day. 

Hugs, Anne

March show and tell

Surprise...I'm on time this month!  

Funny thing about Woolies yesterday.   Sandy and I were the only ones there.  Lots of people out of town or busy with other things, so we had show and tell for each other.   We had fun, even if it was just the two of us.

Sandy has been working on big projects so she only brought a couple of projects that she finished.

First up is a darling pattern called "Old Wood Hare" by Cheri.  Sandy did this one in wool on a cotton background.

This next little one is from Little Thistle Designs called "Penny Patch Rabbit"

It is so cute and little.  Only measures 8x10".  (Sorry, I couldn't find a website)

Next up are my finished projects.   

When I saw Sandy working on that little cutie I knew I wanted one too, 

so here's mine.   

When showed Sandy that I added a button eye for the little bunny, she said that hers is looking backward, therefore, no eye!   LOL

This pillow is from a Wooden Spool Designs pattern called "Chubby Bunny".  

He makes me smile when I look at him.   

Don't those carrot flowers remind you of the popsicles we got when we were little with the tube pushing the ice cream up?   Ahhh, sweet memories. 

Last year Cheri offered this next one as a freebie on her Facebook group.   

I finished the top but never did anything with it.  I had some time last week, so made a pillow.  

Now I'm all ready for summer.   (which can't get here fast enough)!

A cute table runner from Woolen Needle Designs called "Bunny in the Meadow.  

And, as I mentioned last month, I'm working on the monthly series of patterns 

from Buttermilk Basin called "With Cotton and Wool BOM.    

I needed to get caught up on them, so this one is February. 

March...

and April.   

Well, that's it for March show and tell.  

Hopefully there will be more ladies at Woolies next month and we will have more to show.  

See ya soon, 

Hugs, Anne 

February Show and Tell

Now that the snow is slowly melting, we find that getting together with our groups of girlfriends is extremely important.   Woolies on Tuesday was back to normal and a fun gathering.   Lots to show.

First up is Mari's beautiful quilt from Geoff's Mom Pattern Co.   Wow, that's a lot of work!!!

The next ones are all from our prolific Sandy!   

This is her version of Buttermilk Basin's Mystery Quilt from 2016.

Don't you just love how she finished it?   So clever. 

This is one that she did from a sew a long with Cheri on Cheri's Facebook Page. 

Another Cheri pattern called "Bless your Heart"

This one is from a pattern by JoAnn Mullaly.   Sandy must have made multiples because I was the lucky recipient of one for Christmas.  Thanks, Sandy!

Cute pillow from Wooden Spool Designs called "Follow your Heart".  

And another darling pillow from Briar Root Primitives called "The Good Heart".  

You can find the pattern in the Winter 2016 magazine, "Simply Vintage".  

And last, but not least, is a cute bunny from Buttermilk Basin called "Primitive Peter". 

Sandy made hers 50% smaller than the original to put in a cute display.   If you follow her on instagram you can see all of her beautiful decorating. She's @sfeigner.  

Next up are mine.    Lately I've been wanting to do some cross stitch.  Getting back to the old days.   Only problem is that my eyes aren't like the old days.   Yikes those holes are small.   I'm wearing "Mag Eyes" and really look rather ridiculous.  Oh well, it gets the job done.   

This pattern is called "Valentine Bird" by Heart in Hand.   

 Little pillows are from Primitive Stitches pattern "4-Ever Valentine Mini Collection".

This is a cute little wall hanging called "Generous and Content" by Cheri.   

And pillows by Cheri called "Valentine Bowl Fillers".  

This is a cute little pillow that I made for a friend from  Buttermilk Basin called "Simply Words BOM-May".  I filled it with crushed walnuts and made it into a pin cushion.   

I was helping Karen  with some samples that she's putting in her Etsy shop.   I loved how this one turned out so made myself one too!   She will be offering kits soon so check it out.  

Pattern is by Red Button Quilt Co, called "Midnight Blooms".  

And if you've been following along with all the show and tell over the months, you know that I've been working on a 12 month series of little quilts from Indygo Junction. Finally, this is the last one!   It's called "June". I'm so glad to finally have them all finished!   Woo Hoo.   

And since I finished up that 12 month series, why not start another one?  

(Am I nuts?  Don't answer that!)

These are by Buttermilk Basin and called "With Cotton and Wool BOM-January"

The little quilt is made separately and so darn cute!

So another month has come and gone with show and tell.   Hope you are enjoying all the fun projects.  

Our snow is almost all melted and we are in countdown for Spring to begin.  Although, Spring in Central Oregon is quite iffy.  Sun one day, snow the next.   At least we can get around now though.   

Have a great weekend!   

Hugs, Anne

October Show and tell

It's November! Can you believe it?   We are having unseasonably warm weather here in Central Oregon.  No snow yet.  I think this is the latest it's been since we moved here 14 years ago.   I'm okay with that although I do love watching it fall and making everything look so clean and pretty.   There's lots on the mountains tho, so I can look out my window and see how gorgeous they are.  

Sandy and I were the only ones who had show and tell in October and I didn't have much at all.  We were travelling quite a bit and once we got back, I kind of lost my mojo for awhile.  

So, here we go. First are the projects that Sandy accomplished in October.

I took these pictures at our Woolies gathering.  If you are on Instagram and want to see how she has them displayed in her home, she's @sfeigner.   She has a real knack for decorating.  

This pattern is an old one by Blackbird Designs called Midnight Silhouette.   The pattern had been out of print, but the wonderful Blackbird ladies have brought it out of retirement.   I read that The Quilted Moose has them in stock.

Here's a kit that we got from Buttermilk Basin.  

Sandy reduced the pattern by 25% in order for the towel to fit on an old tote that she has. 

(She also cut an inch or so off the sides of the towel     

I can't remember who the designer is for this darling snowman.   

Sandy, can you help us out?  

(Check the comments if you're interested.) 

The witch is from a pattern by Country Threads called Witches.

It's actually a quilt pattern but she just made one block.   

And...it's NOT paper pieced.  Those are some pretty small pieces.   

This wonderful pumpkin was inspired by a post she saw on Instagram and 

whipped it out without a pattern.  Smarty pants!

Here are mine....

Looks like white pumpkins are "in" this year. 

This is a pattern by Plays with Wool Designs called The Great Pumpkin. 

There were a lot of berries to stitch on this one.   

Needless to say, by the end of making it, I was really sick of berries!

Aren't you loving the little pillows for bowl fillers that you're seeing on blogs and Instagram? 

These are from a pattern by Wooden Spool Designs called Happy Halloween. 

They are actually blocks in a quilt but they are small enough to make into little pillows.   

I finally got this one back from the quilter.   

It's a design by Norma at Timeless Traditions called  At Home in the Garden.

I'm looking forward to putting it up after the holidays are over.    

And here's my version of Stacy's Fall Towel.   

There you have it.   

I'm making some Christmas gifts so I probably won't have much to show you for November show and tell.  I'm sure that the other gals in the group will fill in!  

Thanks so much for stopping by. 

Hugs, Anne 

 

September show and tell - Part 2

I hope some of you were able to join us on Instagram.  There are lots of inspiring quilts, crafts and decorating.  You might get some good ideas.

On to Part 2.  

These are all mine.   Remember, this is 2 months worth. (wink)

This quilt by Geoff's Mom called "In the Meadow" is one that I did as a Block of the Month from my local quilt shop.    It was a UFO, so I got it all finished up this year and off to the quilter.   Now it's a ready for Christmas decorating.  

Another quilt by Quilts by Cheri. called "Pumpkin Patch" 

This was a kit that I got a couple of years ago called "Country 9 Patch" 

by My Red Door Designs. 

I made this scarecrow from a pattern called "Cooper"

by Homespun from the Heart.   It was an e-pattern that I found on etsy. 

I really love these wall hangings for outside on my entryway.  

This one is called "Trick or Treat" from Cottage Creek Quilts. 

A quick and easy wool project from My Red Door Designs, 

called " Harvest Time"

This next little one is called "Autumn Fest" by Chestnut Junction.

(Sandy made me the little scarecrow on the masher - cute, huh?)

I also made "Hocus the Halloween Cat" by Briar Root Primitives.  

I thought my kitty (Jack) might become friends with Hocus, but no such luck!  

And my Sept Indygo Junction block.    Still have 2 left to do.  

I'm almost finished with a year of these darling little hanging quilts 

from Buttermilk Basin called "Sew Simple BOM".  

This is October.  

and November

This is another e-pattern that I found on Etsy.   

I can't find the pattern right now to give you the name.   

It's a fun way to play with those old mattress springs you're seeing in all the antique stores. 

Another wonderful design by Cheri called "Liberty Baskets"

I don't have much in the way of patriotic quilts, and loved this one when I saw the pattern. 

Last but not least, another pattern from My Red Door Designs

called "Pumpkin Harvest".  I picked up the frame at a craft store.   

Well, that's it.  I'm so glad to be caught up.   

October looks to be a very busy month for me, so I'm not sure how much I'm going to get accomplished but I'm sure the other gals at Woolies will have lots to share this month. 

Happy Fall Y'all.  

Hugs, Anne
