YW Camp Quilt - 2013

I was asked to make the camp quilt for our stake's Young Women's camp again this year.  I found the panel (Riley Blake) at Mormon Handicraft in Deseret Book Fort Union (in Midvale, Utah) in the summer of 2012 and got it, not even knowing whether or not I would be asked to do the camp quilt again this year.  This is the pattern I used; however, I opted not to put the striped border between the piano keys and the outside border.  Their color this year is yellow, so I put the borders and backing in yellow.  If I were to do it differently, I would put darker squares in the corners of the piano keys.  Cathy did a fabulous job once again with her quilting of it.

Spring Table Runner

I made a couple of these for a silent auction fundraiser last month. 

Then I made two more for gifts. 

Now I am finally getting ready to make one for myself, except now that Easter is over, I will be packing it away until next year! That's kind of how I usually do it. I get it done after the fact.

Here is the pattern:

Bloom where you are planted

My son-in-law is in graduate school in another state.  That means my daughter and adorable grandson are also in another state.  When they first moved there, I only thought about how hard it was FOR ME that we aren't close; but it is also hard for her.  Being away from family and being a new mother can be a struggle.  She loves the saying "Bloom Where You Are Planted" so I put it into this little wall hanging.

I need help to find this pattern...

Hello quilt sisters,

My amazing mother-in-law just passed away and my father-in-law passed last fall.  They were married 66 years and were always so very wonderful to me.

One of the pictures we used in the video has them in front of one of the first quilts I made.  I have no idea where this quilt ended up (I probably gave it away) but I REALLY REALLY want to make it again.  The scripture in the middle is 2 Timothy 1:7. 

 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; 

but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

I've done a few searches online and can't seem to find the pattern.  PLEASE HELP.   Comment below if you know where I could find this pattern.  Thanks much!

The Night Before Christmas

I just finished making this quilt top for Darlene.  The pattern, The Night Before Christmas, is by Bunny Hill and the fabrics were from French General.  What a wonderful interpretation of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" -- so cute!  I am also making a similar-looking quilt for myself, but don't have it quite finished.

Snowy days = Quilt heaven

It snowed until about 4:00 today.... so I stayed home and (mostly) worked on my Trip Around the World.  I love winter!

The chickens DON'T like the snow... but still give us lots of eggs.

I love dusk after a snow storm.

YAY for Trip around the World
Stash-Buster!!

 

Here's my first 20 laid out

I did learn from my first batch that I want
a dark middle for each block.
