International Quilt Festival and Road Trip from Humble Quilts

If you've been following my blog for any length of time you'll know that Laurie and I travel together. We will be meeting at the airport in Houston then having a bit of road trip fun before the quilt show in Houston!

I'm beginning to feel a little like Thelma and Louise! lol

This is our tentative road trip route. Let me know if you have intel of great antique shops or quilt shops we need to see.

We will make our way back to Houston on Wednesday for preview night! This photos shows vendors but I ...

Ah, September! from From the Strawberry Patch...

The weather, at long last, has cooled off a bit! Brisk mornings and clear blue-sky afternoons with a slight breeze have been the norm around here this past week; it's a welcome relief~ I'm SO ready! The Dahlias are putting on a colorful show right now. We made another trip north to New England a week ago, a quick back and forth to avoid Labor Day traffic, it's all good. My mother had been

Here to There and Back Again from From the Strawberry Patch...

We've been on a road trip to the Lakes Region of NH. Spent time with Mom and Dad for both Father's Day and my mother's birthday this past Tuesday. This photo is from five years ago. There have been a lot of changes since 2019. Mom can't physically navigate much anymore, she's a good deal weaker than I've ever seen; it's so hard to watch this happen. But, on the bright side, at 91 and 96 they're

Paducah and Beyond from Humble Quilts

I loved this exhibit of the US Presidents!

This quilt "spoke" volumes!

Then we hit the road and stopped to see random and not so random things!

We went up up and away in the arch! That was fun!

The view from the other side of the Missouri River

Quick! What's the capital of Missouri?

We stopped at a few of the recommended quilt shops and antique stores.

We like to get off the beaten path sometimes.

I love seeing new areas that I haven't been before! I've covered quite a bit of ground lately!

♫On A Country Road ♪ ♫ In Pennsylvania from Humble Quilts

My driving host was Maenad.

She picked me up and dropped me off at the Philly airport. (1 1/2-2 hours each way!)

As if that wasn't enough she offered to take me to some quilt shops in Amish country. That was a lot of fun!

The blog title is country roads.... that's no joke!

Our first stop, formally known as Weavers, now Lancaster Home and fabric.

We aren't in Oregon anymore!

She never minded stopping and letting me snap photos!

These look pretty easy to make, but no thank you.

The hat wasn't quite right ...

Road Trip.... Paducah or Bust from Humble Quilts

First stop, Nashville!

We got in last so had a good night rest before exploring.

We opted for the hop-on, hop-off bus.

So interesting to see this in Nashville!

The Parthenon in Centennial Park, Nashville, Tennessee, United States, is a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, Greece. It was designed by architect William Crawford Smith and built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.

Cumberland River. (Now I want a selvage that says Cumberland!)

The Pickers Nashville antique store.

Marathon Auto Works is a large cool building that houses many little shops and antique displays.

A road trip from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I'm going back to QUILTsocial for a minute. In addition to searching for articles about the machine, the links at the top provide free projects, tutorials, etc.

However, you can also search. The search button is on the extreme right at the top, and you can type in topics. Let's say you want to know about blog posts I've written on piping. Search for piping and add my name, Elaine Theriault, and posts will come up!

The amount of information in those posts will blow you away. I would love to have a website that cross-references my ...

Another Photo Heavy Post! from Humble Quilts

I'd like to share a few quilt shops we went to on our Midwest road trip. And a few other random photos! In no particular order on my blog:

This first one was jammed packed. It is called The Quilted Moose in Gretna, NE

Since nobody is paying me for reviews, I'll just say this was the least friendly quilt store that we shopped.

Loved Country Sampler in Omaha.

Laurie and I had a conversation about what the Midwest is known for other than corn. She convinced me it was pork! I thought if it was true this ...

Ohio's Miami Valley Quilts in the Museum (Photo heavy!) from Humble Quilts

Because I made this quilt in 2016 I was really looking forward to seeing the exhibit of Ohio's Miami Valley quilts at the International Quilt Museum!

Here is my finished quilt:

Karen Beigh and I did this one together and she was instrumental in designing our quilts!

These were the books we used.

Sue Cummings book does not have patterns but inspiration.

Anita Shackelford does have patterns in her booklet.

I don't have much to say about these quilts so I'll let you enjoy! They were really incredible!

Loved the quilting!

So doggone cute!

My favorite of ...

Quiet Time from From the Strawberry Patch...

So, this is a post about Quiet Time. As you can tell from this photo, there's lots of resting and quiet time going on here. This was taken at my parents' home in New Hampshire last week. It was Augie's first road trip and he did extremely well in the car; you would have thought that he was a seasoned road-tripper! He rested nicely on his back seat platform and did what he was supposed to do

New Starts from From the Strawberry Patch...

My second new quilt start happened this week with yet another block-of-the-month class. This one is based on a pattern called "Cream and Sugar" by It's Sew Emma. I've decided to adopt the lower-contrast neutral palette as illustrated; I think it will be pretty and a nice way for me to experiment with value, it will be fun. One of the class participants expressed that she thought beige quilts were

Country Sampler Class in Medora from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I still have a lot of pictures to show from the Badlands Quilters Retreat in Medora, ND. Today I'm showing pictures from my 2-day Country Sampler class.

This is one of my favorite workshops to teach as I believe the students learn so much. They learn the formulas to make common quilting components any size they need.

This is especially helpful when you want to change sashings and borders or make a row-by-row quilt or when you are working on a round robin quilt.

The class made all of the same components yet look how different the ...

Miles of Smiles from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

I'm home! We left Winnemucca, NV fairly early and headed for home in Arnold, CA. We stopped in Gardnerville, NV to have lunch with a friend that Gail hasn't seen in 55 years. Then the car headed over Ebbetts Pass on autopilot. The eastern side of the Sierras are so beautiful in Gardnerville.

This sign was riddled with stickers......no bullet holes, but stickers.

Home is over the mountains in the distance which we had to drive over.

As we entered the pass, the fall colors were in full display.

This is the cow camp along ...

California or Bust from Sew'n Wild Oaks Quilting Blog

Hello Everyone,

We got a very early rocky start to our day. Both Gail and I were craving our foo foo vanilla lattes at Starbucks. We were thrilled to find a Starbucks in Rock Springs, WY. Gail was driving so she pulled up to the window, ordered, paid, and then drove away! Hey Gail, what about our lattes? After an extended laughter, we headed through some very interesting landforms in Wyoming while sipping our lattes.

We crossed into Utah to see some beautiful colors in the mountains, but the pictures didn't capture the beauty of the mountains.

We stopped ...
