2013 Happy New's Year's Eve

It is time to say goodbye to 2013 and welcome New Year 2014. It has been a great year for my love of quilting. I really enjoy blogging about my quilt projects. I made a beautiful table runner which I didn't show pictures of it. I love the fabric and took a pattern out of the Quiltmaker Quilt Blocks. I used a Anne Bright design called Flamingo Sunset. Here are pictures.

Merry Christmas 2013

I love Christmas. It is a special time of the year with a beautiful tree, lights and decorations. It is fun to see the outdoor lights which we put up every year. We always take a ride to look at the lights on other people's place. It is a time of family and friends. We went to Christmas Eve service last night to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace. I miss my parents alot during Christmas. I have fond memories of Christmas's of the past. I did make a Christmas quilt for next year. Here are a few pictures of it.

River City Quilt Show Nov 2013 in Sacramento

Happy December

Boy last month flew by so fast that I didn't get one blog written for November. I went to visit with my brother Randy and my sister-in-law Mary in CA from Nov 6-17. I helped Mary after having foot surgery. It was great to see them and get to sew with Mary in her quilt studio. We went to her guild quilt show which was fun. I have a few pictures of the River City Quilt Show form Sacramento. Mary had 3

quilts entered but not juried this year. She won best of show last year for her The Red Chair. I got home and got a bad cold that has lasted over 2 weeks. I did get 3 quilt tops started and finished them at home. I have one of the tops on the quilt machine that I made for our 5th wheel(camping). Here are a few pictures of the River City Quilt Show.

Strawberry Hill Quilt

Strawberry Hill Quilt

I have wanted to make my sister-in-law a quilt for a long time. This was the perfect time to make a quilt for her because she needed a comfort lap quilt made with love from her family. I found a postcard pattern called Blueberry Hill made by Villa Rosa Designs and had a jelly roll of batiks called Watermelon. I decided to call the quilt Strawberry Hill. I used a Anne Bright design called Cotton Candy and thread was Superior Thread King Tut called Harem. I found the border fabric at Center Diamond Quilt store in Cannon Beach, OR. It matched a fabric in the quilt. I'm going to give the quilt to her when she comes out here the week of Thanksgiving. She didn't want to see it until then and said it was ok to post on my blogs. I'm excited to give it to her next month. Here are pictures of the quilt.

Fall Table Topper

I made a table topper for my table in the living room. I used a pattern called Center Stage by Pieced Tree Patterns. I have several fall fabrics so made it with the pumpkins/vines. I love the colors in it. It is great that I can put table toppers and runners on my quilt machine. Here are a few pictures of it.
