Nine quilt projects were finished in 2024 - a turn in the right direction!! Hip hip hooray!! One of my favorites was the scrap 9-patch quilt that I hand quilted.
Nana’s Quilt - 63 x 69
It was in the Azalea Guild show; and I entered it in the Country Fair. Here are the judges’ comments: Nice red border, really makes the quilt really cute. Set on point gives it a more interesting look.
Portland Block Party Table Runner - 20 x 40
I was living in Brookings in 2013 - and got an invitation from Newport Quilters to join them at the Portland Block Party. It was a great deal of fun. We took classes from Jo Morten, Bonnie Hunter and Debbie Caffrey. Add 3 day slumber party with good friends - great fun!
Entered into County Fair; here are the judges’ comments. Very intricate. Love the colored thread. Straight border needs to improve. But got second place ribbon!!
Doni’s Birds - 41 x 47
I found this pattern on the web years ago. It was love at first sight. So cute on kids quilts! I have shared this website with lots of quilting friends. Bird quilts are Everywhere!! This was also entered into the County Fair. Here’s my comments: Very nice. Good use of stripes. It’s a fun quilt! Of course it is!!
Hunter’s Plaids - 28 x 40
I love this old pattern. And of course, you know how I feel about plaids!! I finally got the umph to make it. Patti made one too!
Row Robin with Friends - 46 x 54
My challenge was “Low Volume”. I have been playing with it for a while. “Plus” block top and bottom borders by me. Scrap block row by Patti Burden. “Sew Inspired” by Cindy Golding. Sampler blocks by Lynettte McPherson. Patchwork and circles by me. The vertical row is by Kathy Dedmore.
Entered in County Fair - comments: Colorful. Border Size is inconsistent. Inspiring!!
Turquoise Baby Quilt - 32 x 43
Josh and Kelsey have a new baby! A welcome to Declan baby boy. Everyone is doing fine. Kelsey wanted a baby blanket that didn’t look ‘babyish’. Check! I also sent 2 receiving blankets with ‘farm’ theme!
Singing In the Rain - 21 x 25
I love the April Challenge at guild every year. Challenge was ‘movie poster’. It’s an adapted paper piecing pattern. Singing in the Rain was always a cheerful movie. But Oregon’s winter season this year made it hard to smile at rain every %#@&!?! Day!!
Added ‘sage’ advice for fellow Oregonians: Might as well start singing - it’s going to rain! Still love Oregon no matter what the weather!
This was a double duty piece - the ModSquad challenge was “butterflies/dragon flies”. Look closely at the raincoat fabric!!
Panel Baby Quilt - 40 x 46
Found this A-dor-able panel shopping. I had to get it. I’d gotten some scrappy blocks from Georgia Williams. I kept in the closet waiting for the perfect project … found it! It’s the border around the panel. This baby quilt is going to last forever!!! Entered it into County Fair: comments includes - Great utilization of prints. Interesting panel. Clever quilting. Awarded 3rd place ribbon!!!!
Asym HST Baby Quilt - 34 x 43
Yes, I can make more patterns than this quilt - I just don’t want to!!! I love the scrappy fabrics; I LOVE the asymmetric lay out - just fun to play with it. It’s always hard to give away the quilt.
