String Quilts YOUR Way!

The day after my trunk show to Madison Station Quilters we had a fun class! 

String quilts your way allows participants to choose what string quilt they want to make. The quilters are so creative!

 

Such cool fabric.

She was taking a more modern approach. I hope she shares her finish with me!

So simple but so many ways to set these! I spy the makers pj fabric made by her mom when she was little. I also spy adult greens! lol 

A simple choice of solids packs a big punch!

The white was also the foundation. 

My fav- blue and lights!

Lots of layout options!!

Such cool fabric!

Lay it out this way....

Or that way...?

It was a great time!

If you are a part of a guild and would like me to have a trunk show or workshop, please reach out to me or some one at your guild. My email is humblequilts@gmail.com Thanks!

Antique and vintage quilts were also enjoyed!

This is such a unique quilt top from the 1940's. The pattern was in Kansas City Star. I've never seen this before and completely love it!

Here was a sweet quilt that David shared with me. A women brought it into the shop to get quilted. It was very charming!

I'm so sorry I cannot remember your name! Look at this wonderful string quilt that she had quilted with fans- perfect choice!

The more I looked the more sweet things I saw!

Such cute cowboy fabric. 

And spiderwebs?! What a mix of fun!!

Thank you Madison Station Quilters.

Next week I am visiting Valley Quilters Guild in Hemet, CA. If you are anywhere nearby I'd love for you to drop in. Send me an email for more info- humblequilts@gmail.com

We've had some beautiful weather but fall is in the air!! 

Have an amazing weekend!!

Madison Station Quilt Guild

I landed in Huntsville, Alabama on Wednesday. Quietest airport I recall ever going to! Huntsville is called Rocket City. It was my first ever trip to Alabama and I had a really wonderful time!

My friend, Sue, who I worked with at the Houston quilt show, was my host. 

We made our way to a few quilt shops.

This was a huge shop and because of a church conflict I ended up teaching at this quilt shop. It had lots of everything, including reproductions, so it was my favorite!!

This was a Lowe Mill, a cotton mill back in its day- now full of adorable little shops.

It was a really good turn out for the trunk show!

Thank you Madison Station Quilt Guild!

 If you are looking for a trunk show, workshop teacher, or both and would like me to visit your guild, please contact your guild with my contact info, humblequilts@gmail.com

Thanks and have a great week!

Fundraiser Success! Thank you!

The fundraiser for Faith Seeds was a resounding success! Thank you all again for your donations. 

Rebecca Yoder, I'm so sorry I didn't get a photo of your quilt with the high bidder. They must have paid and left quickly. I was helping as I could with closing out the auction. 

Gaby is on the left. She is the founder of Faith Seeds in Guatemala. The woman on the right purchased this quilt that was donated by a Humble Quilts follower. 

My friend Carrie, on the right, donated this antique quilt and the man on the left was the purchaser. 

The basket quilt I donated and Carrie purchased it! 

This beauty was purchased and donated  to Gaby and her new husband. 

We set a lofty goal of raising $20,000 and we raised a bit over $16,000, so I would say it was super successful!

This was the amazing view on our drive home.

Let's have a terrific week!

 

Another Quilt Beauty

This amazing antique quilt was donated to the Faith Seeds auction!

Wow! It is stunning! Thank you Carrie!!

With that heavy quilting this quilt will never fall apart!!

 

This one pieced tulip has this discoloration. Any thoughts on that?

This is stamped in the corner on the top of the quilt. I wish I could read it.

The auction for the fundraiser is LIVE!

If you are in the Central Oregon area I would like to personally invite you to the Sisters Community Church for a dinner (donation only) and hear about Faith Seeds. Gaby, from Guatemala will be there and several of us from the Faith Seeds board will be there. It is Saturday 6-9PM. 

Oh YEA- the quilts will be there and many more items to bid on.
