Some Year End Eye Candy from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I often get photos of the lovely quilts other quilters make using my patterns.  I realized I haven't shared them on my blog since last summer.  Thought I would share a few today. 




This fun little quilt was made by Julie over at Julie's Quilts and Costumes using my Wiggle Time pattern You can read more about it on her blog.  If you don't already follow her, you should.  
Her quilts are amazing!




Sadly, I lost track of who sent me this Wiggle Time quilt.  They added a couple rows to make the quilt longer.  Check out ...

A Mini Quilt Show from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

 Pretty regularly, I receive photos of quilts made using one of my patterns.  I always love to see them and thought I would share a few of them with you today.



Here is a wonderful quilt made from my Wiggle Time pattern.  I love the solid color and the quilting she added that "wiggles" across the quilt..  This lap size pattern takes five fat quarters and some background fabric - you probably have the fabric in your stash!



This quilt was made using my All That Jazz pattern.  After seeing this one, I remembered I have a tub full of neutrals ...

A Practical Thing and Some Pretty Quilts from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Here is my finish for the week.  Can you guess what it is?



Here is a bit of a back story.  For years now, I have been trying to minimize the amount of garbage I create.  And I have to say, this covid business can sure challenge that goal.

The last time I went to the grocery store, I didn't want to use a single use sanitizing wipe (or trust that they were previously wiped down well), so I grabbed a clean hand towel from home to wrap around the handle of the cart.



Well, I have another trip ...

Willamette Valley Quilt Festival from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I thought I would pop in and remind those in the PNW that this coming weekend is the Willamette Valley Quilt Festival in Albany Or.  I will be there on Friday the 31st.  My friend Sheila Sinclair Snyder is the featured quilter so I will be probably hanging around her booth all day if you want to stop by and say hello.



And what is a quilt show without some pretty quilts.  I thought I would share a few photos others have shared with me of quilts made using my patterns.  This photo is an in-process one of her Spin ...

Fun in Southern Oregon from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I recently spent a few days with the Umpqua Valley Quilters Guild in Roseburg Oregon.  
They are such a great group!

(In fact, you should mark your calendars - they have a wonderful Quilt Show coming up in April 2020.  You can check out their Facebook page here to learn more.)




I am very bad about getting out my phone and taking photos but I did snap a photo of everyone with one of their finished blocks in the Spin! class.  This group had a wonderful selection of colors and fabrics.  I look forward to seeing some finished quilt tops soon ...

A Baby Spin! Finish from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I have been wanting to make a baby version of my Spin! pattern for quite some time.  When I teach this pattern, I always talk about this variation but until now, I never had a visual sample.



I made this version out of pink, orange and yellow scraps.  
With the scrappy border, the quilt measures 52" square.



I used a white thread to quilt some swirls that would disappear into the Kona White I used for the background.  A bright orange solid was found in my stash for the binding.



I decided to go with a pink backing with sweet ...
