Swap Quilts On The Move from Humble Quilts

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.

Little Quilt and Baskets from Humble Quilts

Here's Janny's little quilt made from my "new old quilt" You can see it HERE. Each version is so adorable!

When I did my Bounty of Baskets workshop last month one of the ladies (I am so sorry I cannot remember who brought them) shared her string baskets from a class she took in Sisters.

Because one of my workshops is Bounty of Baskets and one is String Quilts Your Way I was inspired to make a string basket!!

I hope I can spice it up a little a liberated style border. It falls a little flat for ...

Fun on a Friday! from Humble Quilts

Here is another cutie Patootie little quilt! This time made by Laura in WA. (I kept her instagram handle in the photo if you want to follow!)

She opted for 7" blocks.

Then I turned this:

Into this!

We have had some beautiful summer nights.

I'm sorry for all those dealing with wildfire smoke. I hope it clears up soon. On the west coast we get it a lot and understand how miserable and ugly it can be. Take comfort in the fact it always clears up!

Thank you all so much for the Etsy orders! I appreciate it ...

Shenandoah Stars from Humble Quilts

Thanks for the good feedback on my joyful Friday post. That was fun!

This quilt has been put on hold long enough! I had it machine quilted and it just wasn't what I hoped for, so I removed it then hem-hawed around trying to figure out how to quilt it.

I moved forward and started doing some large cross hatching, not minding where the stitches fall.

I've always liked an all-over pattern so I'll trust myself I'll like it when it is complete.

The fan stitching lines should come out after washing when the quilt is ...

Joyful Friday! from Humble Quilts

Today's post, June 2, 2023 are the things that bring me JOY this week!

A little quilt remake by Mary R! Darling as ever!

Fresh eggs from my neighbor. They are so pretty!

I've seen some very small lizards around my house but none this long for several years! Look at that tail! At first I only saw the tail and thought it was a pack rat. I was thrilled it was Mr Lizard.

Cara Cara oranges. I have to get these at my Trader Joes 1 hour away! Should have bought 2 bags!

Flowers at my front ...

New old Quilt Revisited with Sizes from Humble Quilts

Many of you asked for sizes so you can make this little charmer.

When asking for sizes of orphan blocks there is a reason they were left out of a quilt! lol

The upper left block measures 6.5"x7" across.

The upper right measures 6.5" x7" also.

The lower left measures 7"x7"

The lower left measures 6 3/4"x 7" across.

I guess I would suggest making them all 6" or 7" finished.

I'd love to see yours if you make one!

The lower border finishes at 1 1/2"

Turkey Challenge from Humble Quilts

I finished my turkey quilt challenge in time to bring to Laurie in WA.

My turkeys are a little "off kilter" but overall I'm happy with it.

I did a mix of machine and hand quilting.

Turkey Time!

Here is the one she made me.

Here is the fabric we used, found in VA along with a lot of live turkeys!

Let's have a great week!

Quilt Friends Part 2 from Humble Quilts

Before going to my quilt guild trunk show/class I had been talking with Kathy (photo below, left- such a fun lady with high energy!) and we made arrangements to have dinner at Laura's (right) before the evening meeting.

Laura's hubby took a quick photo before we left. It was such an enjoyable time!

Laura's house is so adorable!

Upper right, Quilters Madder, lower right, Palmateer Point, both quiltalongs on my blog.

I love this so much. It was hanging right near her front door. I want to make one!

The Week of Love from Humble Quilts

I didn't get this completed until Valentines day and I was out of town at that time, so here is my sweet little "love" project.

I had intended to make it for the VA quilt museum fundraiser but I was too slow and didn't get it completed on time.

I loved this little umbrella fabric for the backing.

As many of you may have seen either on instagram or my Facebook group I was out of town in a remote area of Washington visiting my brother. This was my first time visiting him at his log cabin.
