#getyourquiltywishesgranted

-
My IG feed was deluged this week with #getyourquiltywishesgranted posts, where people asked for and granted various wishes.  I admit I don't have too many wishes (I have a pretty decent fabric budget), but I definitely wanted to grant some wishes.  I got a little overwhelmed looking through for individual wishes to grant, so I just posted things I thought people might like, and asked for takers.



All of my scraps from Canyon Jewels - a decent amount of them, some oddly shaped.  I am terrible at using scraps, and would love to see someone get some use out of them.



Two Moda scrap bags - see above comment on scraps.  These have been in my stash for several years, and I just can't see them getting used any time soon.  Or ever. 



And my scrap bin.  I have a 20 gallon tote that is completely crammed with scraps.  Some sewing scraps, some random stuff, a lot of quilting scraps.  I filled up one large priority box, and four envelopes with scraps, and they are waiting to be picked up by the postman today.  I took a good honest look at the rest of the scraps, and sorted out two garbage bags to be thrown away, and now my tote is only about 1/4 full, and I am much happier.  And hopefully I've made a couple of other people happy along the way, too.



I posted a couple of books last night, to see if there was any interested.  I have a TON of books, and figured I could get rid of a couple of them without too much trouble.  Honestly, I should purge a couple more...



Check out the wishes hashtag, though. It's so amazing to see the generosity of the quilting community!

Pinwheel Charity Quilt - FINISHED!

-
Image
The amazing Jo at Jo's Country Junction  does a ton of wonderful work doing long-arm for charity quilts.  After my friend, Natalie, and I purchased our long-arm, we both wanted to help do charity work, so I reached out to Jo to see if she needed some assistance.  She sent along five quilt tops, along with backings and bindings, and Natalie and I got to work! This first finish is a wonderful, happy, bright pinwheel quilt, made by Sharon Judkins of Hatfield, Arkansas.   (And special thanks to my 11 year old for photographing - she's working on photography for her 4-H projects, and wanted to help out in her own way!) Natalie did the long-arm work on this one.  Each pinwheel got it's own spiral, and there are spirals in all the sashing and borders.  Natalie made sure to get a pinwheel in cornerstone, as well. It was bound in a lovely blue, with the ladies in our local quilt guild stepping up to do the actual binding work.  This one will be donated to Feed the

Another year of Quarantine

The vaccine is rolling, out, but OH SO SLOWLY.  And I'm about dead last on our priority list (as it probably should be - no complaints!) so I just need to keep on going.  I've felt the need for some slow stitching recently, which has done good things for the progress on a lot of old cross stitch UFO's.  I finished the Band Sampler that I did as a round robin a while ago.  It's beautiful, but with Mary Ellen gone I'll have to spend a LOT more than I used to to get it framed!   I've also completed "A Little Quakeresque" sampler - such a lovely project!  And my "12 Days of Christmas" piece is done as well, although I did have to order more floss.  I think it might end up as a pillow cover?  I can't think of a place to hang in during the holidays.    My piecing list is actually pretty under control for a change.  I decided to join in on a quilt along for "All the Good" and I absolutely LOVE how it's turned out.  It was part of a

Kate Spain Charm Swap Finish!

Quite a while ago, I participated in a Kate Spain Charm Swap over at Quilts from my Crayon Box .  I just loved the assortment I got back!  So colorful and bright, and so cheery to just have in a stack and pet.  But I decided to actually use them all.  I wanted a pattern that would really show off the variety of fabrics, and this one from Moda Bake Shop seemed to be a great fit.  I enlarged it to use up all the charms.  It's almost a complete charm quilt - I had to add in just a few duplicates to make enough squares.  I absolutely love the final result! The fabrics have such great variety I didn't really have to consciously do any fabric placement - they all looked good together! I used one of my favorites from terrain for the cornerstones and binding.  The quilter did a great job - outlined the stars and added a small flower to the center of each, with a moderately tight stipple throughout the rest.  I'm completely torn on what to do
