Quilt Stats:

"Ocean Waves"

12' Square

Machine Pieced and hand quilted with BIG Stitches by ME.

I LOVE this MINI quilt that I recently finished. It has a lot of special meaning

This is another quilt made using my Bonus Triangles that Noel, my Volunteer helper & I played with at the 

Walla Walla County FAIR & Frontier Days last Labor Day Week-end.

I am the Superintendent for the Needlework Department.

I got to play in the Quilts and other Needle crafts, too

I spent a LOT time sewing on my Vintage and Janome Machines that week.

Demonstrating and showing a few Blocks.

(All of the 4.5" blocks for Nabby's Dowry were made using these 1.75" Bonus Triangles)

The goal was getting the people interested in stopping to take a look at our Display.

The Washington State Fair People that came by to 'judge' our displays liked that I was sewing at the Fair.

We won a BIG Ribbon for the Pavilion.

To make my Mini "Ocean Waves" I had to trim each hst to 1.5"

 I used just a small part of the design from Bonnie Hunter's Ocean Waves FREE pattern HERE

 It was so small I decided to try using Pearl cotton to hand quilt it with BIG Stitches.

I put the backing and batting on my Q-Snap frame and  pin basted the top onto it.

It didn't take too long and I had it finished, bound and labeled

Ready to display at the Family History Seminar with my 

Daughters of Utah display.

 My 3rd Great Grandmother Handmade 

8 Full-Sized Ocean Waves quilts in the first 3 months of her 91st year.  

Quilting is in my BLOOD!
