Donation Quilts- Thank you!

I finally got a chance to photograph the lovely quilts that were donated for the auction for  

Faith Seeds Guatemala.  I'm on the board and you can see some of my past trip HERE and HERE.

The maker of this joyful quilt would like to remain anonymous. 

It is as sweet as can be! I love it!!

Lovely vintage sheet for the backing. Vintage textiles have such a wonderful feel to them.

 

This incredible applique quilt is 21" square!

It has a ton of detail!!

Yes, that is hand quilting and hand applique.

Thank you Rebecca Yoder. 

Both of these make my blue basket quilt look like a child made it!! LOL 

I have a top that was donated that I am having machine quilted.  Will share that one later.

Thank you!

YouTube Take 2!

 HERE is the real link to the video. I like the video better "not live" lol 

I know it would be fun to have some type of interaction get together (Maybe google meet? ) But for now the link it a recorded version of what I shared online. 

You should be brought directly to the YouTube using the link HERE. 

This amazing pillar print will be in one of Michelle's lines coming out in February 2026. 

Mountain Meadows Quilt Guild

What a lovely group yesterday that I spoke to! 

It was nice I was able to drive and bring a few more of my larger quilts. 

The trunk show was Reruns, Quilts Inspired by the Past. 

I start with reproductions from 1940

and work my way back through time. 

Ohio Miami Valley Quilt

An English quilt (repro of course)

Abe Lincoln museum quilt designed by Barbara Brackman. (someone was asking me about that pattern the other day and I cannot find your email)  In this photo I was showing a block I'd used my sons boxer shorts fabric! Anything is fair game to quilters!!! LOL 

I'm hoping to teach later this year for the guild although I could tell there wasn't much left to teach most of these ladies and gentlemen!!

I'd love to teach at your guild! Could you please pass the word to your guild? My next 2 guilds meetings are in Alabama and California. 

 I hope you are having a great week!

 

Monday Funday!

This is a big catch up post with not a lot of quilting. 

Beautiful French Polynesia!

Here's our kitchen with that amazing view! That roll-up window was great!

The days were pretty short but the sunsets were amazing.

Taken at the Polynesian dinner and show we went to. 

 

The flower crowns were so pretty! I noticed them mostly being worn on Sunday. 

I recognized this woman/server from a year ago when we ate at this restaurant. 

The islands are lovely and still generally not visited that much by tourists. 

I have to sneak in a little photo of my daughter's boyfriend at Cannes Film Festival. He works hard and we are very proud of him. The movie premiered at Cannes and will be released this fall I believe. The previous movie, Rebel Ridge, is still getting good reviews and a possible Emmy nomination. 

My son came early for a bachelor party so we could hike. It was his first time to the "Eagles Nest!" 

Girlfriend weekend camping and hiking! So much fun!

A quick trip to Washington for my Grand Nephew's high school grad party.

The speaker at quilt guild was sharing about her Stickle Quilt. This one isn't hers but I thought the fan quilting was an interesting choice. It looks good. 

I'll be in Sunriver sharing at the quilt guild on Tuesday. If you are nearby, please come! You'll find info HERE 

I'll finish my Monday Funday on Wednesday!

Have a great day!
