Once again I was asked to make the camp quilt for our Stake Young Women's camp this year. The theme was based on The Wizard of Oz, so I designed a pattern from a handout. Cathy did another wonderful job in quilting it.Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00582314199572228978noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800918659389072174.post-34696433964145396902013-11-30T20:52:00.001-06:002013-11-30T20:52:31.648-06:00Win this quilt!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm heading up to Alaska next week and a friend is letting us stay at her place and another friend is taking us fishing for an entire day. So what's a quilter to do? Make them each a quilt! The problem is that I fell in love with these quilts and don't want to give them away.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I adore them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I sit and pet them like a new puppy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I want to marry them.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Just kidding on the last one.</div>

I made this baby quilt for our local quilt shop (which, unfortunately, is going out of business). I had never really sewn on minkie before and am not sure I want to again -- but I probably will as minkie is so soft and this quilt turned out to be so cute. I even did the little bit of quilting that needed to be done. :)Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00582314199572228978noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800918659389072174.post-55081533150470058342013-06-28T12:32:00.001-05:002013-06-28T12:34:12.300-05:002013 Quilts - Part 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

My beloved in-laws passed away this past year after 65 years of marriage. As we went through photos for the funeral videos I found a few pictures of them and my quilts. My mother-in-law loved my quilts and I loved making them for her. </div>

This got me wishing I had photos of all the quilts I have made with the people I made them for. So I've decided to start taking more pictures and keeping track of who I give the quilts too. I need to remember to get in the habit of getting pictures with the recipient, but I figure baby steps are good.</div>

Well, after what seems like (and has been) years and years, I finally finished this quilt -- "Emmy's Favorite" from the book <a href="http://www.leisurearts.com/products/floral-quilts-from-grandmas-cupboard.html" target="_blank">Floral Quilts From Grandma's Cupboard</a>. See Bliss' quilt <a href="http://quiltingsisters.blogspot.com/2010/05/my-sisters-quilt.html" target="_blank">here</a>, which she finished a long, long time ago. Several of us in our little quilt group decided to make this quilt as a group -- each person made six blocks of whatever section in the quilt they had. (I did the block in the lower left-hand corner, with all the little flowers!) After I got the blocks back from everyone (Bliss, Cathy, Maureen, and Pam), I put the blocks together and had my quilt top all done except for the outside border. I couldn't decide whether to put a different fabric on each side or use one fabric for the border, so I put it away and didn't look at it for a long time. As you can see, I finally pulled it out and decided to use one fabric for the outside border. It was a happy day when I got it back from Cathy after she quilted it and I had the binding on -- it was done!<br />

I was asked to make the camp quilt for our stake's Young Women's camp again this year. I found the panel (<span style="color: yellow;"><a href="http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/" target="_blank">Riley Blake</a></span>) 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<span style="color: #bf9000;"> <a href="http://www.rileyblakedesigns.com/media/uploads/Free_Quilting_Projects/2012/RBD_GoodLife.pdf" target="_blank">pattern</a><a href="http://deseretbook.com/Lifes-Journey-Quilt-Kit/i/5093548" target="_blank"></a></span> 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.<br />

Hello quilt sisters,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, 'Bookman Old Style'; font-size: medium;">For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; </span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, 'Bookman Old Style'; font-size: medium;">but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.</span></i></div>

I just finished making this quilt top for Darlene. The pattern, <a href="http://www.bunnyhilldesigns.com/store/products/details/?product=Nightb4" target="_blank"><span style="color: #990000;">The Night Before Christmas</span></a>, 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.<br />

<span style="background-color: #fff3db; color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Wayyyy back in 2005, I went to the Houston Quilt show and bought this beautiful pattern. About every six months, I have taken it out. Looked at it. Dreamed of making it. And the promptly put it back in my "quilts to make someday" list.</span><br style="background-color: #fff3db; color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: #fff3db; color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #fff3db; color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Then I had a vision. A vision of a year without quilt presents for family and friends. A year when I would only make things for myself. I'm calling this my selfish phase. And I'm loving it!!!</span><br style="background-color: #fff3db; color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: #fff3db; color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: #fff3db; color: #29303b; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Trust me, a king size quilt is VERY time-consuming. I get an A+ for selfishness!</span></div>

This is the quilt I made for our stake's community nativity exhibit (the 4th year for this event). The nativity panel was the inspiration for choice of border fabrics and for choice of quilting used throughout the entire quilt. I wanted to use fabrics that would draw one's eye to the center of the nativity -- the Christ Child. Cathy also accomplished this with her quilting.<br />

I finished this quilt last year in about a day. It was made with fabrics from the Lilliana Collection by Andover Fabrics, using their <a href="http://www.andoverfabrics.com/Quilts/Lilliana.pdf">pattern</a>. It would be a good pattern to use if one has a border fabric to showcase. And it is so easy to do!Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00582314199572228978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800918659389072174.post-89075769712645811592012-07-01T09:10:00.001-05:002012-07-01T09:15:32.674-05:00Operation Wood Hollow<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There have been so many wild fires this year and one of our Quilt Sisters (Hi Susan!) was evacuated from her home in Woodland Park, CO. Luckily, she was able to return to a home still standing. Many were not so lucky. <br />
<br />
I recently found a quilter from Utah that is collecting quilts to donate to those that have lost their homes in the many fires this year.<br />
<br />

My heart has ached for all of those affected by the fires and so I'm excited to find a way to help! Now if you are thinking you need to make a brand-new quilt or that it has to be intricate and fancy; let me reassure you that it doesn't. I have many quilts that I have made over the year that have been rarely used. I'll admit I have an obsession and one of my kids tried counting all the quilts but gave up after about 70. I plan to find one that has not been abused by pets, kids or outdoor activities and ship it off.<br />

The theme for this year's Young Women's camp was "Happily Ever After" and their color was blue. I had lots of fun designing this quilt. I took my inspiration from a similar picture, but with a castle instead of the temple. Taking "Happily Ever After" one step farther, I added "Eternally" to go with the temple. Cathy did a wonderful job quilting it.<br />

I really like it except the petals are too stiff. I wanted to use up some Heat'n Bond Lite that I had and I didn't cut the centers out of the petals before putting it on the fabric -- consequently, very stiff. And Cathy had a dilly of a time quilting it because of the stiffness. I am hoping it will not be quite so stiff after laundering. Guess I will go back to using Lite Steam-a-Seam2 for appliques in the future.Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00582314199572228978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800918659389072174.post-11242931910713897092012-03-14T14:01:00.007-05:002012-03-14T14:18:04.843-05:00Hand Warmers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJmXeQAc8VTBmF9ROdqd_hxesjslhCSKATRrer2OUCHnYJ3dnw8vlsGqmHJTaprxQF7CvhKeXmq0bHCXTejNIaqeW8reyqiLyMy6bdo08uo8dQ2gwSaw38h4DmL6e07wBMHRRlmLIoWJI/s1600/Img_3561.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJmXeQAc8VTBmF9ROdqd_hxesjslhCSKATRrer2OUCHnYJ3dnw8vlsGqmHJTaprxQF7CvhKeXmq0bHCXTejNIaqeW8reyqiLyMy6bdo08uo8dQ2gwSaw38h4DmL6e07wBMHRRlmLIoWJI/s400/Img_3561.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719830141162336434" border="0" /></a>Remember when I told you about this quilt <a href="http://www.quiltingsisters.blogspot.com/2009/01/hand-warmers.html"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">here</span></a>? Well, Cathy quilted it with beautiful snowflakes and then last November (2011) -- after only a couple of years -- I finally finished sewing the buttons on the mittens -- forget the rest of the buttons the pattern called for! Now it is finished! Yippee!Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00582314199572228978noreply@blogger.com1
