National Quilt Month 2022

Happy 1st day of National Quilt Month!

This is my intro post.

Thanks Amy's Creative Side

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.

2-22-22 Did He or Didn't He?

 It's another Groundhog day! Every year, it comes... 

Just like Bill Murray,  I feel like it's a repeating day, over and over.

Went to the Dentist again today.  I thought it was yesterday, lol 4 visits are too many IMHO. 

I paid the bill and thought that could have bought me another machine, lol 😆 

Crown on my broken tooth, Done!!

This is what I  did instead of the dentist yesterday.

5 of the 9 Favorite Blocks shared on the 3 Things at 3.

In pinks and reds.

      Because I saw that it is Embroidery Month

So many cross threads!! When I do it again I'll clip those threads as I go. 

Does the Tail look backwards to you?

3 needles broke in the making of this Peacock. 

It's a good test for next time.

Had to buy more Embroidery Needles. Retail Therapy for my pain in the mouth.

I have an Online class coming up on Friday with My Girlfriends Quilt Shop.

I'm learning new things to do in the Hoop.

Hooked on Kimberbell stuff too.

My Quilty Tools, I can't live without! 

The My Girlfriend's Quilt Shop Club asks us what tools we can't live without in February??

I remember cutting up cereal boxes for quilt patterns in the 1970's.  Cutting the fabric with scissors. We have so many tools now that make it easier!

Packages bringing more of the Confetti blues so I can make the Blue Challenge Blocks with Riley Blake. Blues in my stash are the wrong shades. 

Good to see the actual colors to compare.

Here's a fun link of the DH who Celebrates this month. 

I love seeing the photos that show up in my memories.
