PRAIRIE WOMEN

     I WENT TO MY CIVIL WAR CLUB MEETING AT COLORZ  FOR QUILTS  ;THEY CALL IT  PRAIRIE WOMEN  AND IS WRITTEN BY PAM BUDA.   SHE ALSO WRITES A BLOG CALLED HEARTSPUN QUILTS ,WHICH I ALSO ENJOY IMMENSELY.

    THERE WERE  MANY LOVELY AND GRACIOUS LADIES THERE WHO BROUGHT MANY QUILTS TO SHARE. MANY OF THE QUILTS WERE FROM PATTERNS FROM THE PROGRAM BY PAM BUDA AND SOME WERE QUILTS OF THEIR OWN DESIGN.


THIS IS MY TOP ,  FROM ONE OF THE PROGRAM PATTERNS. I MADE IT MY OWN BY CHANGING COLOR PLACEMENT AND TURNING ONE OF THE PIECES A DIFFERENT WAY .  BUT STILL CUTE IN ITS OWN WAY.  I HAVE NOT QUILTED IT YET BUT HOPE TO HAND QUILT IT ; AND AS I AM JUST STARTING HAND QUILTING , I LIKE TO PICK SMALL THINGS.  IT IS APPROXIMATELY 25"  X  31".                                                           

I ENJOY GETTING TOGETHER WITH OTHER QUILTER'S  , TO NOT ONLY SHARE BUT ALSO TO INSPIRE OTHERS AND YOURSELF!  IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH SOMETIMES TO LIFT ANOTHER UP.  MY SPIRIT LIFTS UP A FEW FEET AFTER ONE OF THESE SESSIONS AND I ALWAYS TAKE SOME THING BACK HOME WITH ME .  SOMETIMES IT IS  NEW  KNOWLEDGE AND SOMETIMES JUST A WONDERFULLY  HAPPY UPLIFTED FEELING! 

SO LADIES DO NOT NEGLECT  A GATHERING OR TWO THIS COMING MONTH WITH OTHERS WHOM YOU SHARE  A LOVE OF.  IT WILL SPUR YOU ON AND LIFT YOUR SPIRIT!

Onward!

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.

Daughter Called

Image
My daughter called and asked if I would make her a couple of quilts! Of course I said yes, I love sharing my quilting with her. She  found a block she liked on pinterest in black,greys and white. I drew out my pattern on graph and began piecing until I got this.... and I found the most perfect soft snuggle backing.... So I now just have to take it to the quilter! I have also put up a small Christmas tree in the living room. I finished a small churn dash quilt of Fig Tree fabrics that I started at retreat in the beginning of November. I also finished my candle in the window log cabin quilt.... I started a few circle  blocks. I am going to use various blue backgrounds with my Kaffe and Tula scraps. All for now,chatter later, Martha.
