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

"Stitcher's Garden" By Rhonda Alberts

There were about 5 of these and I like this one best.

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.

For National Quilting Day I went down to Quilt with the Walla Walla Guild ladies.

I made part of these blocks then made the rest at home after going to a Baseball game.

They are the Part one Blocks for Quiltmaker's 40th Jubilee

Mystery quilt made with Addicted to Scraps blocks by Bonnie Hunter.

My Start-i-tus is in full swing.

Gotta add them to the Book.

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.

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.

Granddaughter#1 is SEW Fun!

We went town to Celebrate this girl!

Grandpa thought we should bring her home.

I wasn't as sure, I have projects to work on.

We went to pick up some things at her house and she brought her Grandma Quilt Camp Project.

I was amazed that all her Blocks were done.

She made her Flying Geese during Grandma Camp.

An Eleanor Burns Layer Cake was her choice of Pre-Cut this year.

It made cutting and choosing easy for the Granddaughters.

The block was found on EQ8, she chose her colors and sewed a couple.

It's a variation of the Capital T.

Lots of White Background.

She named it "Gate of Roses"

                                      By the end of the second day, she had it al together.

                                            She got lots of ooo's and ahs at Quilt Guild!

                                            She chose the Carmen's Roses to be Quilted on it.

              My file was corrupted on the Quilt Machine so I'm working on Downloading it again.

                             Gonna test it on this Table Runner she made with the 3 Extra Blocks.
                                                  

Hope to get it done in time for the Tri-Cities Quilt Show.

I have a few other Quilts in the Que...

My first Quilt was tested on Betsy while she was here.

After 2+ years, Betsy is uncovered and trying to be useful.

I have got to remember all the quirks, lol

I needed this design tested for a quilt that is due to be gifted this coming week.

These are 4-Patches I had all sewn together. I just had to add the Multi-Print fabric.

It's an old VIP from my stash.

It has the binding sewn on.

 I can tack it down while I wait for Paul at his Cataract Surgery on Monday.

I realized I don't really have a Valentine's Quilt.

My Red/Pink Blocks didn't get put together yet. 

Maybe later today... we have another road trip.

Remember these?

Jenny did a flash back to the tutorial for the "Antique Lace"

This block is made from those tiny hst's

80 Pieces per block, Whew!

This one will be an Entry for the Black and White Challenge at the Quilt Show in 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.
