A Nice Little Quilt Show

At my church yesterday we had a quilt show which was a nice little show. We were able to raise a bit of money for the Susan G. Komen "For the Cure". There was a total of 59 quilts, which included the challenge quilts called

"It's Raining Cats and Dogs"

#3 won 1st, #1 won 2nd and #2 won 3rd in viewer choice.

and the display of Sister in Scripture Quilts. We had 8 quilts total.

Here are a few of quilts that were displayed in the show.

Barbara Davis made this quilt many years ago her daughter said. We lost Barbara this year.

I love this block, I looked it up and did not fine the exact block in BB Encyclopedia but it could be a variation of the block Peaceful Hour. I just going to have to try to draft this one up.

Shirley Cowen made this quilt, it was a BOM from Sager Creek Quilt Shop.

I have started this one also and it is now on my PH-D list. She did an excellent job on hers.

Another one by Shirley, she had entered a few quilts and I believe she won a ribbon on all her quilts.

This quilt was so big I had a hard time trying to fix it all in the shot, as you can tell I did not quite make it. It was also a lot longer than the quilt racks we were using.

This quilt was made by Rosemary Holman and won first place in it's category. And it deserved it. Just gorgeous. Rosemary was another quilter who I believe won a ribbon on all her quilts she entered.

I also believe this was a BOM at the Cotton Patch in Tulsa OK.

This is just a few of the quilts at the show. Had a lot of fun and a big thank you to all that helped.

And a big thank to all that went for a chance on the Sisters in Scripture Quilt. We are able to give a good donation "For the Cure"

and the winner is proudly shown with her new quilt

Till next time,

Kat

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section 2 - 1' section Cut the 1" PVC into 4 - 1' section The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies. I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
