Spokane Valley Quilt Show Fun!

After 3 long Years I got to go to Spokane with my WW Quilt Guild on a Bus to the 

2022 SVQS - Extravaganza!

Both of these Quilts were made by Darlene Mossman

Frolic and Good Fortune Mystery by Quiltville

They were the only "Quiltville Sightings" in the Show.

One of the Quilters in the Memorial Room had a Good Fortune in a Picture.

They had 5 Memorials set up in another room to honor those Quilters.

Here are the 2 Farm Girl Vintage Quilts I saw.

Made by Debbie West and Julia Marvel

These two were just Fun!!!

A Pickup Truck full of Bolts and Beach ladies, from the back.

StQuilter's Love Fabric  & "Forever Young"

The makers had a good time making these!

2 Quilts I liked from the Featured Quilter - Cheryl Clossin

"Purple Rain"

"Star on Ice"

I always enjoy seeing the INMQ Treasure Challenge Quilts made from Vintage/Antique Blocks.

Re-Imagined by the Quilters.

I hope you like them too.

"Improved 9-Patch"

Grandmother's Flower Garden

"Sunny April Showers"

I forgot to get a full picture of the Stars one.

"Reaching the Gems"

"Springtime Tulip Baskets"

This one was Called  "For the Love of Baskets"

Can you see that they just added 'Braided Trim' handles to the HST's

"Spring Planting"

Note that these are random Hourglass Blocks with stems

She did Quilt as you go on each Row.

"My Flower Garden"

Inspired by a TQS Show with Mandy Sloane

The Farmer's Wife Quilts are a Favorite!

The SVQS Raffle Quilt was also Farmer's Wife

I love it in Blue. Extra Blocks made into Pillow Covers.

Yes, I Got a few Tickets!

There were so many more that I could have photographed.

The CherryWood "Diana" Challenge was so great with sparkling Tiaras and lovely Quilting.

Pictures just don't do them justice. But I tried...

The 2nd and 5th place Winners were there.

The Winning Quilts aren't all here, just a select few.

I took a Picture of the poster showing the Winners.

I am not putting them all on here.

I met up with one of the 2017 PNW Quiltville Retreat Quilters.

Here we are from 2017 - Still Cheesey!

Wearing our Sewing Jammies.
Susan and I have met up at the Spokane show before...

This time we had Lunch together and walked trough looking at Quilts and the Vendors.

No time to Vote on Favorites.

The Show goes on through Sunday!

Next Year I hope to go 2 days!

 

Blogger's Quilt Festival- September 18, 2017

My Entry for the Blogger's Quilt Festival has to be THIS Quilt!!

Linking up HERE

Can you tell I was happy to see that BIG Ribbon on it when I got to the Show on Saturday?

STASH gave me a $25 Gift Card to spend in their Shop.

Started in 2015 with the SAL (Sew-Along) over at Bee in my Bonnet and Fat Quarter Shop.

I looked forward to Farm Girl Fridays!  tagging #farmgirlfridays and #fqsfun

Some  weeks I made more than one version.

The Alphabitties are SO Necessary, and just fun to use for the Photo ops.

After the SAL, Lori Offered more blocks as downloadable patterns at FQS.

I had to add the Cow and Pig and the Piece of Pie with the Fork.

This Quilt has recieved many, many looks and compliments.

It was awarded the Quilt Chair Ribbon back in March. 

The  WW Fair Quilt Judge liked it and gave it "Best of Show" in August.

I'm so glad Lori says, "You are the BOSS of your Quilt"

I have met Lori a couple of times now.

This is US at Quilt Market in Salt Lake City last year.

Friday- Gotta have a Goal

I've been Posting over on Instagram with #quiltNON2017

Today it was about Goals.

I admit, I have a "TOPPER" Problem.

These 5 Quilts have been waiting too Long!

I want to have them Quilted by MAY!

 I will be starting a New Bonnie Hunter Quilt or Two at the PNW Retreat.

In other News.

Our Lacey Lacers are Busy learning New things.  

I have things ON my Lap, ON my Frame, ON my Needles and ON my Shuttle!

This one got the Binding on.

It's # 5 on the UFO List on the Sidebar. Yea- DONE!

Gotta have an "In the Beginning" Quilt in the SHOW.

This weather has kept me from updating my Membership in the Tri-city Quilter's Guild.

The check is in the Mail!!

More Pictures of my ON the Needles later.

Design Wall Monday - September 12, 2016

Bet you though I would have my Grandson's Quilt that I created on EQ here for DWM...

NOPE!

 I only have a Class sample I am working on right now to show you.

I saw these at Quilt Market in SLC and liked them, then I saw them at Janean's in Pasco.

I asked Tara at Sew n Vac to get them for us to have a Bench Pillow of the Month.

Well, it's taken a while to get to this point.

Too many other obligations going under my Needle.

I'm glad it's almost finished.

Next up an Autumn Bench Pillow

Remember all those TINY Flying Geese I made at the Fair?

They got attached to the Quilt and now I only have the final borders to put on.

I LOVE when borders fit perfectly!

I'm auditioning the Border here.

I got this fabric at Trends in the Spring.  It will be the backing fabric too.

Unless I find something else in the meantime.

I got our Quilts turned in for the Quilt Festival.

I can hardly wait to see how they look hanging up all spread out.

It's a Very Busy Grandma Week and I have to hit the ground running this morning.

I'll be out the door as soon as I check my favorite Blogs Linked up HERE

It's "Labor Day" in America.

40 Years ago DH and I got officially Engaged.

The following Day we went to town to buy my Ring.

Today he is Working at Painting the frames around our New Windows.

I have This Project on my Design Wall/ Floor!

Linking up with Judy L HERE

I stitched these tiny Flying Geese together while sitting at the Fair.

Here's my sewing station with the rows laid out.

I made a few extra...

I'll be sewing these on later this week.

Today I need to go and pass out the Quilts that were entered in the Fair.

And bring home all my stands and tables.

It was a great week at the Fair.

More about that on Wednesday's Post 

I hope you will all come back to see.

Happy Columbus Day!

I am cutting and getting ready to sew an additional block for my Farm Girl Vintage quilt.

The alphabitties are invaluable in

 keeping the parts in order.

I thought I needed this one to go with the Mixing Bowl that was in the original quilt. 

 It will take the place of the Teapot.

Lori has a few other fun blocks that are sold as PDF downloadable patterns over at FatQuarterShop.

The best part is the instructions are included for 6" and 12" finished blocks.

Country Roads is a Flimsy.

  

Now the choice is whether or not to Hand Quilt it,

 or just do some straight line quilting and call it DONE!

I'm sure Lori will have a Linky Party pretty soon so I want it ready for that.

Coming soon is the Blogger's Quilt Festival 

Amy has the categories selected, HERE

It's time to get something finished to enter this time around.

I always have fun showing off my quilts. 

 I have joined the online quilt show since it started.

Today is the Day that Bonnie Hunter's Craft U videos start HERE

 I watched the first one and it was fun!

Almost like being with her in a real Workshop.

Lots of Tips and Tricks.

I won't spoil the Surprise for you.

She saved the best for LAST!

All of the classes are available TODAY!
 I can download them and watch them over as many times as I want.

I'll be playing with the Challenge that Bonnie issued later this week.

Friday Sharing- 1930's Farmer's Wife Blocks

 It's been a different kind of week.  I have gotten a little bit of stitching done between trips to TriCities to see my Dear MIL.

DH is up there again today to be with her.

The Blocks for the Farmer's wife have been coming almost Daily it seems.

I cut them out while I watch TV and stitch them up the following day.

I added the button to the Top of my Sidebar, just in case you want to join the mailing list.

HERE is the Link to the Linky Party at Gnome Angel's Blog

I had to make 2 versions of the Caroline.

I cut too many of the HST's from too many different fabrics.  

My Through the Hourglass Class had just 1 person signed up so we postponed it until next week.

Thursday again 4pm-8pm

I have some special tricks to make the blocks with partial seams.

I made a block for my Blue and white this week.

Improved 4-Patch

(I know the label on the pic says 9-patch, my bad.)

I have finished all of the Farm Girl Friday Blocks as of this week.

"Winter Star Block"

I ordered Lori's add-on Farm Girl PDF patterns from the Fat Quarter Shop HERE.

"Apple Picking Quilt" 

It is 13 pages so I got it printed in B & W at Staples.

So I'm not done with my Farm Girls blocks completely, I guess.

They are just too cute!

Today she is sharing how she did her Label HERE.

I have a good start on my Block making for October.

More October Goals I want to add here...

1- Make Blocks for Guild and BOW.

2- Finish the Vacation Time setting blocks- Flimsy

3- Make some more Moth in the Window Blocks

4- Sew the #2 Grand Illusion Blocks into a Flimsy 

5-work on Christmas, (can't show that but I'm started on it.)

77 days until Christmas, OH MY!!!

WOW = Wednesday, Working on More Blocks-

Since I can't QUILT---

I'm in a block making MODE!

My Blogging friend HERE counts her blocks each month. 

I sewed all day Tuesday in my PJ's- I was freezing with the change of the Season.

I made my new Siggy Square from Doni into another Arkansas Crossroads Block

I have 47 now.

The 1st Blocks from the Farmer's Wife 1930's have been selected HERE

I made them using my Novelty 30's Fabrics. 

I love to Fussy cut the pieces.

Notice the small block at the top?

That's what happens when you don't read the directions all the way

 and Print the PDF from the CD in the back of the Book.

This how they will be set in the full quilt. Had to check how they will look on-point

#12 Becky & #16 Bonnie

(only 97 left to sew)

My Farm Girl Friday Blocks are all caught up now too.

I cut out blocks and clip the Alphabitties on the parts while I watch TV.

This SAL is almost DONE.

I can't believe I've finished almost all of them!

The Bicycle for the "Snapshots" Block of the Month got sewn also.

There are just a few Blocks left in this one.

The Pinwheels are the tiniest I've ever done!

I chose to use some of the new fabric I got in Portland for inside the wheels.

My total of Blocks is 278 

(if I count the block parts that made the bigger blocks for the Arkansas Crossroads & Country Roads)

I can't decide which fabric to use for step 3 of the Country Roads.

Which do you think would work best? Left side or Right side??

I got great Mail today.

The Row by Row Quilt came home &

 I got more License Plates and patterns from Wendy and her 2 girls.

I love collecting these plates!

Whew, I'm tired just making this Post.  Thanks for reading to the END!
