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

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  

Civil War Sunday

It's Civil War Sunday with Karen again.    This week we're showing you 2 blocks to make up for missing last Sunday's deadline.    These blocks are nice and easy to make, so we should be able to finish up on time.  (whenever that is).  :)

This first one up is called "Strength in Union".   It's been interesting to follow along with Barbara Brackman's stories of the Civil War.

And this one is called "Fox and Geese".   

And, the two of them together.   

 Head on over and see what wonderful blocks Karen has stitched up.   

And now, we return our previously scheduled programming... Quilt Market.  LOL 

    

This is Joyce Weeks of Geoff's Mom Patterns.   Isn't she cute?

I love this quilt she's standing in front of. 

Here's a close up of the applique.

But check out the basket border surrounding the applique blocks.  I think it's genius.   I can't remember seeing that before.  

This is a great pattern too.   You might remember it from Karen's giveaway last week.   Two lucky winners get to make this quilt.  

This one with the little stars caught my attention.    I love stars, and stars on a light background just gets me every time.  

Striking, yes?

Here's Joyce's helper knitting in front of another lovely quilt.   

I'm cutting this short because we are having thunder and lightening right now and I want to get off the computer and into the closet!   Yes, I'm scared to death of it.  

Only a couple more things to show you from Market and then another giveaway.  

Have a great week everyone.

Hugs, Anne

Quilt Market 2012 #2

Right across the aisle from Primitive Gatherings was Geoff's Mom Pattern Co.   I fell in love with everything in the booth, but I think their new Block of the Month was one of my favorite finds at market.    Wouldn't this be a fun one to do as an online Quilt-a-Long?

Enjoy more eye candy!

This one is called "Seasons"

And aren't these farmyard critters just adorable?

More wool projects to drool over.

I love this little framed block.  I don't remember the size but I'm thinking it was about a 6 inch block.

Joyce and Norma are the designers of all these wonderful patterns.    I was never able to get a picture of the two of them together, but you can follow them on their blog. 

More to come...maybe even a giveaway or two!  Woo Hoo!

Hugs, Anne

Quilt Market–the people

First:  Janet update

She is out of ICU and her blood readings are showing positive changes.  She is awake at times and continues to make progress.   She still has a long way to go but the doctors feel she is on the right path.   Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers.   Keep em up!

On to the wonderfully talented designers.

Whose feet and cute pattern do these belong to?

Why it’s Lynette Anderson and her cute hubby Vince.  The slipper pattern was a huge hit.

Brenda Riddle from Acorn Quilts and Gifts with her new quilt based on a cross-stitch sampler.  It’s darling.  Wouldn’t it look cute in wool?

Her new Block of the Month.
