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!

 

Design Wall Monday August 20, 2012

This week is Farmer's Wife Week at "Thread and Bolts" I only have 3 more August Blocks to make.

It's time to start putting my Farmer's Wife Together. I made my final choice for the sashings and cornerstones.  I thought the PINK would clash too much with the Reds in here so I went with the green.  The Brown cornerstones will POP.   So this week I'll be working from the Bottom Left Corner and see how far I can sew... The next row up of 5 blocks is ready to sew on as soon as I cut more sashing strips and cornerstones.  I'll take my Top Right Corner blocks out to play on Lynn's Design wall.   I can just work from those outer corners and meet up in the middle. "Diamond Rio" Country song playing in my head now.  I love stitching along to my Country music. Have a great MONDAY in Blogland.  Bonnie Hunter posted a new Leader/Ender project this morning.  3" Spools- oh my!  Here's the link to read more about it. She calls it "Spoolin Around".  I will use only one color for the background this time so I don't have the issue I have with all the wild and crazy Bowties. She showed us her Bowties, sewn together in sets of 9, on her 'webcam' the other night.  I'm still debating sorting mine by light and dark and alternating them.

What Season is this???

To look outside this week, I never knew what I would see.  One day it looked like this- looking out towards the Blue Mountains...

One day we had some sun but then it HAILED as I went to send the be-lated Birthday gifts to Idaho and Colorado.  I had to tell DD #2 "I went through 'hail' to send this package."  LOL
The pictures of those will have to wait until Design Wall Monday- after they are delivered.

We said goodbye to Elder Monson this week.  He and his companion, Elder Floyd came to get a picture.
This morning when I woke up it wasn't doing anything- about an hour later there was a layer of snow.  But it melted almost as soon as it fell- no picture of that. Then there was a clatter on  the windows and I had to go and look outside again.  It was a wintry mix of rain hail and sleet.

 My poor Rhodedenron and Hyacyinths are so confused...

So, I've been busy cutting and sewing more Farmer's wife blocks for MAY.  I made my SBS BOW.

E-3 Chicago Pavements

 I also made a few more 3.5" Bow ties for the Bonnie Hunter Challenge.  I have put them in sets of 10 to make it easier to count.  I have 123 made right now.  It's time to cut some more to be ready for Leader/Enders.  Saturday is a 'get ready for Easter' day, so I'll be busy making rolls and cleaning for family.

Happy Easter!! - I'm so Grateful that our Elder Brother, Jesus Christ set the perfect example for us and knows our sorrows. And for His Resurrection that gives us all the promise of Eternal Life.
