Welcome! Velkommen! Willkommen! Bienvenida! Bienvenue! from Humble Quilts

However you say welcome where you live my Welcome quilt is complete!

Diane of Butterfly Quilting Threads worked her magic and transformed my top! I love the fans!



Now it is hanging in my entryway. 

Super thrilled with it!

I had an amazing weekend away at a women's retreat. It was peaceful and restorative. 
The setting was incredible.
Mt Adams

The property is an old school on the White Salmon River in Trout Lake, WA.

The cloud formation was so cool! I think it is a lenticular cloud. 




Seen on my morning walk! 

This too!

I'm ready to ...

Welcome Quiltalong Linky Party from Humble Quilts

I'm finally ready for the linky party! 
If you made a Welcome quilt, even a variety of the Welcome quilt we'd love to see it!

This is one I made years ago.

This is the most current one!

I cannot wait to see your version!
Thank you for sewing along. 

I think you can now upload from your computer! No "link" necessary!

 

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Finale Welcome Quiltalong from Humble Quilts

Even though this is the final part we will not have a linky party until I return. That should give you some time to get your top completed. 



I made a template from the book for the border triangles. I could have done one large square cut twice on the diagonal, but I wanted more of a variety, so I opted to do each one. You may not want to make this border and that is fine too! 

I sewed mine together and laid them out (with the red corner posts) One look at them told me my border was ...

Welcome Quiltalong- Almost complete! from Humble Quilts

Wait! These aren't blocks in the Little Quilts pattern booklet! You are correct! Usually when I do a small quiltalong the quilt is complete before I start. This time I'm doing with you! I really wanted to get this top completed before going to Dominican Republic. So, I took a shortcut and used a few orphan blocks that I already had. The one on the left is similar to the Little Quilts pattern, but my orphans were a tad small, so I added a border- works for me! The sawtooth star is taking the place of the Lemoyne ...

Welcome Quiltalong from Humble Quilts

I've only heard from about 4 people that are working on this. So many of you bought the pattern or had the booklet. Let me know if you are still piecing the top with me! (Some are speedy and already have the top completed, I get it!)

We will finish the letters this time.

Using your 2.5" squares, hst, and 4 patches these can easily be completed. 

LOL, I think there was a reason this 4 patch was in the orphan block drawer! 


3 more blocks after this and the border! I'm going to get creative and ...

Welcome Quiltalong from Humble Quilts


This week we have an easy block and a not so easy block!

I'm giving some hints on how I did my house block- there are no "right or wrong" way of doing it. Feel free to substitute any of your favorite blocks for this one or find a house block online that doesn't have set-in seams that will finish at 8". I love having options!


For the odd shapes that you cannot just cut with your ruler. I trace the shape onto freezer paper. This is the house roof. 


Iron it on your fabric, then use your ...

Welcome Quiltalong & Cabin Fever Americana Sampler from Humble Quilts



This is my friend, Phyliss's Welcome quilt. Isn't is lovely? Love the blue star especially! Thanks for sharing it!

The color looks so dull on the photos, but here are the next 2 blocks we will be doing. I had a little issue with the log cabin, but that's okay- nobody may even notice! lol


Hey look! Half way through the body of the quilt! Are you keeping up?

I have another donation that is for sale. Dotti sent me this and asked that I put the sale funds towards the mission trip. 


This is so cool ...

Welcome Quiltalong from Humble Quilts

Part 3 in our quiltalong is today! How are you doing on it? 

We will make the letter L and the basket block.

My blocks are a bit humble.... They are still pretty sweet though. 

This one is pretty straight forward. 

They do not share a piecing diagram in the pattern, so I thought since this one may be a bit tricky to new (or old ) quilters, I'd share how I pieced it. 

I got my pieces all cut out and the block laid out. My bottom triangle is a similar fabric, but not the same as the other ...

Welcome Quiltalong Part 2 from Humble Quilts

Here are our next 2 blocks. 



My flag is a little wonky, but heh, I'm okay with it. 




My letters are only fused for now. This would be cute in wool as well!

 Many of you have asked about the pattern. You can look on Amazon, ebay, etc for the booklet. Or you can go HERE for a digital copy. I am not affiliated.



In front of the Cascade Mountains!

Let's make it an awesome week!

Welcome Quiltalong Another Part 1 from Humble Quilts

 Let's do another one! Not counting the time to applique the W that first block went together very easy and very fast. So I decided we will likely do 2 blocks each time. 

These 2 blocks will be part 1. 

The block in the photo (in the book) and the block in the outline look a little different- you decide how you want to proceed. This little Shoo-Fly is easy to put together! 




If you have no idea what this quilt is, please use the search box in the upper left or scroll through the last few weeks posts ...

Welcome Quiltalong- Let's Start! from Humble Quilts

We have talked about this long enough- let's get going!
I have no idea how long this will go, I'll be playing it by ear depending on what block we are doing and how most of you will be doing your applique. 


Let's do this one! Here is mine. I am going to use a machine buttonhole stitch on my appliques. The rest will be from my scrap/square/HST bins. 


This is in the book and I thought it could be a little confusing. I actually used my ruler to measure it. Cut it 2 1 ...

Fall "Welcome" Quiltalong from Humble Quilts

It looks like there is enough interest to do this as a quiltalong. I had to order the pamphlet and it was supposed to be here on the 25th and it still has not arrived. As soon as I get it I will start figuring out how to divide it up and see how we can do this together. 

As much as I love the one I made years ago it is very faded. I'll be happy to make another one. 



I'll suggest if you want to start pulling some fabrics that would be the first thing to ...
