We Had Quilt Group today!!!

Our crazy quilt group met today to exchange our round robin blocks. Eight ladies are participating. Each month we design and create a 12 1/2" block based around a history written by a member in the group and with a specific color and fabric scheme. Click on the link at the top of this page entitles Quilts and Craftss and see the newest designed blocks. This is a block from Joyces quilt. The completed quilt is posted on the quilt page. Beautiful quilt Joyce!!! This is a quilt we have pieced for the Ronald McDonald House. Each person made several 9 patch blocks and we actually made 2 quilts. This is our blue quilt... Now to tie it and give it away!

Donna created this BEE masterpiece for Marsha who is a member of a garden club and is doing some things for community with a BEE theme! Won't this project beeeeee darling!!!

Oh my goodness, you guys have been so creative while Ihave been out of commission. We are currently on the road between Pendleton and the Dalles. (I got a new aircard for my laptop so I can stay connected now.) Baby is doing some better, but will be pretty time consuming for the next few weeks. I will be going back down on Friday for a week, but plan on taking my knitting needles with me. Missed talking to you all. Love, Linda

All these beautiful projects make me want to beeeeeee happy!
Don't give up Linda.   We will wait for you......  am so happy you are able to spend time with
Candy and Joseph as you are needed.

Pay it forward

Hello everybody!
I am participating in an event called 'Pay it Forward' I found out about it at Nouveaux Portmaneau's blog. This is how is works: If you are interested in playing, please leave me a comment in this post. (Or, you can leave a comment saying it sounds like fun but you are unable to play). For those of you who WANT to participate, please leave me a way of contacting you, your email address so I can get your home address to send you one of my handmade gifts. The first five people who say that they want to participate will receive a handmade gift from me. BUT, there is a catch! For those of you who participate, you will then post the 'Pay it Forward' information and button on your OWN blog and post a similar comment as this one, asking for five people who are interested in participating to leave you a comment, and then it is YOUR turn to send THOSE five people a gift. 'It is better to give than to receive' is how it all started out on someone's blog. It may take a month for the entire scenario to transpire, and take your time making your gifts that you send. Sound like fun???!!!

 

 

 

'Pay it Forward' project/giveaway.

Only the first 5 people get to play.........

Just a few items of interest!

This is the first quilt project I ever did. Alyce helped me with it many years ago on a Thanksgiving day we shared at her house. Mom was there also. We cut, and sewed in between eating turkey and pumpkin pie. I found it hidden away and had to hang it on my wall. It reminds me of that day and of my dear sister Alyce and what a talented wonderful sister she is! Priceless, cherished memories of that day and many others with my sweet sister!
I have never seen this before..... where have you been keepin it hiden?  I love it.
You two are so talented. peg


Ok, I remember this, but I don't remember where I was living.   Was I in Wyoming?  Oh, Memories!   LOL,   alyce

This is the beginning of my newest quilt I just started. I learned this technique at our quilt retreat last week, and made these blocks this morning. I am liking it alot, and it goes quite fast! Thanks to other great women in my life!

OH MY!!!   This is my FAVORITE QUILT!   I love it and want to make one.   I need to visit Idaho and have you teach me how to sew it together.  9 blocks sewn in just one morning?   Do you have any free time one day next week?   I'm thinking about visiting you and mom.   Let me know if a day works better for you than another.   Alyce

This quilt top is one I did at the quilt retreat. Full size. Ready to be quilted. I will put this on my bed when it is completed. I loved the scalloped edges, and was something new I haven't ever done.

So I decided it was time to start sewing some doll clothes again, so I designed this pair of coveralls. It fits the doll but is a little snug and would be hard for a child to put on the doll so....
you can see I've cut out a second pair......

It's not uncommon to sometimes make an outfit 2 or 3 times before getting the pattern just right when creating something original. Wish me luck that this one is perfect!
Here's hoping your day is absolutely PERFECT!!


and see, this is the reason your creations are perfect when completed!  I really enjoy
watching your path of creativity!
