Swap Quilts On The Move

This was not my planned quilt, but this is how mine turned out. I played with more fabrics and the 2 reds just seemed destined to be the main show.

I hand quilted with a cross hatch. 

 The backing is a lovely fabric!

Many quilts have arrived at their new home and other's are winging there way across the USA and World!

If you aren't done, don't panic. You have 17 days to get it completed and in the mail.

I hope your week has been wonderful.

Lone Cabin+ Red Wagon Book Giveaway

Here is some progress from the Lone Cabin quilt.

Carrie was out of town and used that time to do hand applique on these. 

Christy is doing hand applique with a buttonhole stitch. 

More of Christy's

I got my cornstalks appliqued. I only know they are cornstalks because that is what the book calls them! hahaha

Here is Michelle's log cabin.

I've got to get back to the pesky stars!

 

Laurie gave me a book that has this pattern in it. It has some damage and she cannot sell it. I know several of you were looking for the book but didn't want to pay too much.

Here is my proposal. If you would like to make a donation to Enduring Treasures for any amount 

(even $5) to help me get to Uganda I will send you the book! If there is more than one wanting it I will do a drawing. 

You can send me cash or check (and I'll forward the $ to the ministry in my name)

This is the village that the pastor training will be taking place. 

Our team leader and the one who started the ministry is in Uganda now, hopefully getting information about what specifically we will be doing. 

Thank you!

Wednesday Catch up!

I went to a Meet the Teacher event in Pleasant Hill, CA this week.

I was thrilled to see my long time friend Nancy! She used to come to the Sisters Outdoor Quilt show and we'd sew, laugh and have a grand time together with a group of ladies. We had a lot of fun times together so it was so lovely to give her a big hug!

Teachers sign up to present and we have 3 minutes to give a spiel to guilds and encourage them to hire you. 

A quilt of Guatemala. You know my heart is there!

I only have last year to compare but it was not well attended by teachers or guild board  members this year. 

They limit the teachers to 30 and only 16 were there!

This is Sarah Goer who was next to me. Improv seems to be what the CA quilters want. Her quilts were improv and very well constructed. She was very sweet. 

And, in other news:

A  quick overnight backpacking trip...

Before heading to the city. 

Alcatraz Island was so interesting!

Hubby broke out and made it home with me!

Love ya'll! Have a wonderful weekend!

 

QuiltFest NW

I loved that this quilt the blocks were not all the same!

Made by a guild for their outgoing president. 

Feathered Star sampler! I LOVE it!

Another fun use of a historic quilt panel.

The center drew me right in!

Do you all have the darling hot pad/doilys? I thought this was very sweet. 

This quilt was made from blocks an ancestor had made

Reminds me of this one I just sold on Etsy!

It was really great to go to a quilt show!

Lets have an amazing week!
