Fun on A Friday! from Humble Quilts

I was rummaging around for some backing fabric for my swap quilt and thought I'd share these beauties with you.

I have noticed this past year I have a real love for stripes!!

A lovely madder.

Yellow/caramel/peach

I picked this up at reproductionfabrics last year. It is so elegant.

I wasn't quite ready to share my swap quilt yet and that is the only sewing I've done this week,

The top madder will be the backing for my swap quilt. It seemed to suit the front the best. Time to start hand quilting.

I hope ...

Reproduction Fabrics Quilt Shop from Humble Quilts

One last stop on our Midwest road trip. We didn't plan it perfectly because we ended on Labor day weekend. We had to make hard choices, go to Wisconsin and hit JJ stitches and Country Sampler or Minnesota to Reproductionfabrics.com. Margo's shop in Northfield, Minnesota was the winner hands down. I was so thrilled to be visiting! I have used her site to learn so much about historic fabrics. I recently saw her Youtube video Cottonopia

This was made with 3" stars. Don't you just love it?!

Margo gave us the pattern as soon as she ...

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 ...

My Little Swap Quilt from Humble Quilts

My little swap quilt has arrived and been seen by Trish. My quilt went all the way to Buenos Aires, Argentina!

It is simple and a little on the primitive side!

Love that print for the backing.

This was the vintage quilt I was inspired by!

The last quilt to arrive went from Australia to Utah, back to Australia and then back to Utah! No fault of the sender! Post office error!! Aargh!

Jan Horn, as soon as you can get a photo of the quilt Susan sent you I'll post it and we can see ALL the quilts ...

Fickle Friday from Humble Quilts

I was the lucky recipient of a few of these lovely panels!

I've been keeping my eyes open for the Southern Generals for about 1 year for someone who asked me about them. Yay! I finally found her one. Her husband is a Civil War buff and she wanted both (north and south generals) panels.

I offered these on the facebook group before adding them to the Etsy store. I'm happy to say they all found a home!

I'm not sure if I shared this on my blog, but I found some of this at a quilt ...

Little of This and That from Humble Quilts

This is one of my all time favorite Jo Morton poison green prints! A friend generously shared 1 yard with me! Best. Green. Ever!

Too darn cute! Thank you Laurie for the sweet turkey/VA quilt museum pin cushion! I love it!

So long November, you've been a good month this year.

Remembering Cynthia Collier from Humble Quilts

I shared a few photos of this exhibit on Instagram but it was so incredible I need to share on my blog.

Her husband curated the exhibit and was on hand to talk about Cynthia and her quilts. It was very special.

I'm opting to share a few parts of quilts that I thought were so inspirational!

Sometimes it is hard to know how and when to use a lovely floral border print. (at least for me!)

Secret surprises in her urns/vases/baskets.

Toile with people in the windows! Yes, please!

Another beautiful urn.

I have some of ...

Mill Girls Quilt from Humble Quilts

When Laurie and I went to New England HERE we picked up 2 oldie fabrics- one was called Mill Girls by Judie Rothermel and the other was The Cocheco Mills Collection. We both are making a quilt with the fabric.

The 2 fabrics are the background of the block below. I pulled fabric for the blocks from the colors in the print from The Mill Girls.

The border fabric I purchased at Marden's on that same trip. I really wanted to use a directional print and I think it turned out better than I anticipated. I put a 6 ...

Maine...One More Time from Humble Quilts

Did I mention Maine quilt shops were having a Quilt Shop Hop while we were there?

Annie's Teeny Tiny Quilt Shop in Limerick, Maine was asking for blocks for their annual fundraiser. Here's a block I made yesterday . It's called Floating Churn Dash.

And I thought I'd get real here and show you some of the fabric I purchased. I finally got my bag unpacked!

If you have used this Di Ford column print in a quilt I'd love to see it!

Gorgeous!!

Let's have a great week! See you tomorrow morning at 10AM ...

Little something something from Heirloom Quilting Co.

A Little something something to hang from a door knob for Valentine's Dayor perhaps line a little basket, This measures 6 x 12 approximately but you can make yours any size you want it to be. I just used 3 inch squares from my scraps and cut in half diagonaly and sewed the triangles together to make hourglass blocks, I used 1 1/4 inch single binding strip. You can make flying geese or just squares if you want, just have fun. Quick and easy,

Have Fun!

Monthly Sampler 2022 from Humble Quilts

Good morning!

Here is my monthly sampler that arrived from Two Thimbles Quilt shop (online shop now only) She carries lovely reproduction fabric which is getting harder and harder to find.

This month's sampler is cream shirtings by Marcus Bros! (click on Marcus Bros for the link) I need to use shirtings in more of my projects. I love them!

Last night's guild meeting via Zoom went great!

Thank you to all who joined in. Zoom defintely isn't the best way to meet, but I am so glad it is an option. Pam was able to book ...

Generous Quilters from Humble Quilts

Thank you goes out to generous JessaLyn for thinking of me while cleaning out her stash. I've got some great old reproductions back in my stash!

I've already talked to a couple of quilt friends who are interested in expanding their stash with my windfall. What are friends for, right??

A couple of oldies but goodies!! Anybody else remember this line?

One of my favorite cheddar prints!!

I'm pretty sure I have this old reproduction in my Jane Stickle quilt.

Thanks again Jessalyn.

Quilt Friends are the Best! from Humble Quilts

I had a reproduction personal shopper! Kevin hit the motherload of older reproductions on an outing and when he got home he asked if I was interested in part of his motherload sale! I love a sale and reproductions! Many of these I've had in my stash over the years so it was fun to have more of them.

Thank you Kevin! I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

And last year (you know, the lost year of 2020!) I was going to MO to present to 3 quilt groups.

Eclectic Wednesday! from Humble Quilts

Here are a few more varied projects I worked on over the weekend.

This is an oldie Birds in the Air. The next part to do is to make 1/2 blocks. There was too much brain power needed for me to figure that out at the retreat.

Here's a little mini in process I made using little orphan blocks and a few bits of new reproduction fabric from my sampler from Two Thimbles. We have a trip planned in a few weeks so I'll get it basted and bring it along for hand quilting. (Wyoming anyone?)

I ...

Monday Muse from Humble Quilts

Happy Monday. Superbowl was a bit of a blow out and this year was the first we didn't have an all out party. I don't feel like I missed a thing.

I got happy mail last week!

I want to make an effort to support some of my favorite small businesses this year. One of them is Two Thimble Quilt Shop owned by my friend Lee. I needed a gift and so last month I ordered a reproduction fabric roll, one for me and one for a friend. Sometimes I get tired of seeing the same fabric in ...
