2022 Tri-City Quilt Show

 The Tri-cities Quilt Show happened last Friday-Saturday.
It was Sew Fun to have a real Show to enter and attend.
I got Elizabeth and Abby's Quilts Quilted in time to take them in. 
Even with Betsy Troubles.

This is Elizabeth's 5th Grandma Camp Quilt
"Gate of Roses"

This is Abby's First Quilt in a Quilt Show.
I called in "Fenced in Flowers".

I gave out  a "Mutual Admiration" Ribbon to this Quilt

Me and my Frolic at the Tri-Cities Quilt Show.
Thanks @quiltville_bonnie for a Star pattern I could enter in this Show. 
Focus on the Stars was the 2020 theme for a Quilt Show that was Canceled. 
This year it was included in the 2022 Show. 
I only saw my Quiltville Quilt at this show. 
Weird to be the only Quiltville fan in my area. 
Thanks for taking my picture with my shirt, quilt buddy, Lynn.

Why I Quilt...

 


It's really ALL about LOVE!
I Love to Create
I Love my Family
I Love Fabric
I Love Community
I Love Sharing
I Love Giving
I Love a Challenge





In 2011- I posted 283 times
I would say it was a Very Quilty Year!

March 19th is National Quilting Day
How will you spend that day??

Missouri Star asked what Quilting is?
All of these postcards were sent in to their store.
It's amazing how the world gets smaller when we talk about Quilting.
I wonder if My Postcard is on that wall?

Please Leave me a comment, I really want to know WHY you Quilt...

National Quilt Month 2022




Happy 1st day of National Quilt Month!
This is my intro post.
I'm the Crazy Quiltingrandma aka: Mom/Grandma/Great Grandma

I love to Quilt!
I would quilt Everyday if I could.
Quilting is one of my joys in life!
My Family is my biggest Joy!!🙂
I love creating new blocks from my Fabric collection/Stash.
Making quilts for people that I love is the best gift to make.
I don't like to out a price on my work so I don't make custom quilts for people, they couldn't afford me! All the hours and days, months and sometimes years it takes to finish a quilt.
I love my Quilty T-shirts and socks.
Spending time on my quilts fills the days.
I am never bored- I can find something quilty to do.
I also have quilty books I love to read.
This T-shirt says it all...
Quilt-Eat-Sleep-Repeat
That's what I do!

I Quilted a few Quilts in February. YEA for Betsy!
Even with all the stops and starts.


Diana, My Sister by Love asked me to quilt this for her Mom and Dad.

Happy Birthday to Pres Alder!
I was huge and filled the whole frame.
I tried a new pattern on it and it almost made me say a few bad words when
I had to keep re-starting Betsy.
We delivered it a day early, hurray!

Then I quilted Abby's 1st Quilt


I played with my Machine Embroidery and took an online class to make this
Spring Door/Wall hanging with MGQS in Logan
It took a bit of testing with the spacing and the CBT (Clear Blue Tiles)
I hope I can finish a few small projects with the CBT.

I made a few Blue Blocks.
These are for the Riley Blake Block Challenge 2022




Up next is Elizabeth's Quilt.

Tri-City Quilt Show is the 25th-26th of March.
