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

Fall Festival

If you've been following my blog or Lori's Humble Quilts blog, you know that she organized a group quilt-a-long doing Jan Patek's quilt, "Fall Festival.

Our homework this month was 3 more blocks and start working on the flying geese that are scattered throughout the quilt.    I got my blocks finished, but haven't started on the geese because I haven't picked the fabric for my sashing.

I'm doing all the applique blocks using wool on cotton.

Here's what we did this month.

At the rate we're going, we will be finished in no time and this is a very large quilt.   

It will be fun to have it finished in time to hang this Fall.

   

Now go check out Humble Quilts to see what everyone else accomplished this month. 

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

See ya later, 

Hugs, Anne

Pine Tree Ridge

If you have been following my blog, you know that, since January, Sandy and I started working on Jan Patek's Block of the Month called "Pine Tree Ridge"   Our plan was to do a block each month, but we were both enjoying it so much that, independently of one another, we worked ahead.   So, last month, I showed you that we were almost half finished.

We are both using fabrics from our stash, so its fun to see how different they are.

This month, I'm reversing the order of our finished blocks.  Mine will be first and Sandy's second.

Here are the 4 blocks that I finished.

And here is Sandy's FINISHED quilt.   

Now the pressure is on me to get mine finished next month. 

Looks like we are going to have to find another project to work on together! 

See ya later, 

Hugs, Anne

Pine Tree Ridge

Sandy and I are working on another Jan Patek quilt as a sew-a-long.    We aren't setting deadlines, just working on it when we want to.   Both of us are loving this quilt which makes it easy to keep moving forward.  

I know I posted my pictures from last month, but will show them again along with Sandy's.  (Also, my lighting was really off).

Showing hers first and mine second.  

I forgot to take a picture of my church.  Oops...

Those are my birds.  Sandy wasn't quite finished with hers. 

And this is the progress so far.    Sure am loving this one.   I'm glad that we aren't sticking to the 12 month block of the month schedule.  We might have this finished before summer.  Wow...what a concept!    (I better not get too cocky tho, because you never know what life will deal you.  We were both in our sewing rooms a lot because of all the snow we had). 

See you next month!

Hugs, Anne

Fall Festival #2

Continuing on with the quilt-a-long that Lori at Humble Quilts organized, here are the blocks that she gave us for homework in February.  To refresh your memory, the pattern is by Jan Patek.  I'm doing my applique in wool with cotton backgrounds.

These pieced stars aren't  the easiest to work with.  I finally had to draw my own paper piecing pattern in order to get the correct seam allowance.  Grrrr

So that's it for this month.  Can't wait to see what our homework is for March!   We are really moving right along.   

Thanks, Lori, for this fun project.   

Catching up

Hi there,   It's been awhile.  Thanks to all of you who emailed me to make sure things were okay.   I guess I took a little break.  It wasn't planned, but maybe needed.   I'm going to try to get back to a regular blogging schedule and it will help that I've joined Lori's quilt-a-long.

We are doing Jan Patek's "Fall Festival" Block of the Month.   It's a fun quilt with lots of different types of blocks.  

This month we are showing the pumpkin block and the crescent moons.   I took a picture last night when the lighting was terrrible.   Good lesson.   I'll do better next month.

I took this next one before I had stitched it but wanted to show you

 because the colors are much more true. 

Sandy and I are doing a little quilt-a-long of our own using Jan Patek's "Pine Tree Ridge"pattern.   

Again....bad picture taken in bad lighting!

If you've been following me on Instagram, you know how much snow we've had here in Central Oregon.   Record breaking snows!   (And...more on the way tomorrow)!

Mr CnW is 6' tall, and so is that berm.  

There was so much snow that our street was down to one lane.   

This is the view from my nest.   It never gets old!

Now, to catch you up on our show and tell at Woolies.  These pictures are from our November gathering.   I can't remember the names of the quilts but maybe the makers of the projects can fill you in if you ask in the comments section.   

Sandy made this quilt from a Temecula Quilt Shop quilt-a-long.  

Another finish from Sandy.   

I think this is an old Buttermilk Basin pattern that Sandy also made. 

Linda E finished this Buttermilk Basin pillow. 

And this cute little hanging quilt from Lily Anna Stitches

Linda E also made this table topper by Kim Diehl.  

Linda H showed us how she uses punch needle when she wants a fluffy look.   

Barb shared this quilt with us.  Her daughter wanted the binding mended.   

It was Barb's very first quilt.

But she knew enough to add a label.    

We didn't have show and tell in December and completely forgot about January.   Next up will be February, I promise.    I did quite a bit of projects during the holidays but they were all gifts and I forgot to take pictures.    Yikes. what's happening to me?   LOL
