These will be used in a couple of projects that I am working on: my Red/White/Blue Dear Jane and the survivor quilt that was started this past Thursday in a class taken with Joyce Weeks.

This week is San Diego Quilt Show Week! If you are in the area it is a must see and is held at the Convention Center in Downtown San Diego. You can check out a couple of my quilts below that will be in the show!

Forest Friends

Road to Bali

Birthday Jane

This week I will be starting UFO #6: Jamestown Landing, another Bonnie Hunter pattern. I have all the blue blocks completed, just need to finish about 60 of the string pieced neutral blocks and then put it all together. This also has one of my favorite border treatments- a piano key border.

 

As posted previously, I will also be starting the Survivor Quilt by Joanne Weeks in my class on Thursday. Below are the fabrics I will be using.

Sunday Stash Report September 1, 2013

This post finally finds me with a finish and a small addition to the Stash!  First off the finish is my Jeweled Trees Quilt. This was a pattern form the December 2009 McCall's Quilting Magazine. It is all paper pieced, really a pretty simply paper pieced design. The hardest part was picking out all the fabrics from my stash. Really love how this turned out- will be adding to the quilting que!

The only addition is 20-10" squares from Keepsake Quilting. These are to be used later this week in a class at the San Diego Quilt Show. It is called Survivor and is a scrappy quilt with 9 patches and stars.

 

 

I will be using a cheddar for the pink and the blues will be all the scrappy pieces. Shirting's will be the light background.  Should be a fun class.

 

 

 

So here are the updated numbers:

 

Used this week: 5 yards.

Used Year to date: 112.25.

Purchased this week: 2 yards.

Purchased Year to date: 25.5

Net Fabric Used in 2013: 87.75

This week I am back to working on the Jeweled Forest. This is a pattern in  McCalls Quilting Magazine from December 2009. It is entirely paper pieced and is going together pretty quickly. I have just a couple of sections completed so far. It is a small quilt, only 22x37, which is nice after the last couple of big quilts that I have finished.

Birthday Jane in Vermont

I was lucky enough to have my Birthday Jane Quilt in the Vermont Quilt Show at the end of June. It was in a Special Exhibit celebrating 150 years of the Jane Stickle Quilt. This exhibit was curated by Brenda Papadakis who first drafted all those little blocks. 

 

 

 

Here are some pictures of my quilt and Brenda during the presentation that she gave. Unfortunately I was unable to attend- Vermont is a long way from San Diego!!! I would love to have heard Brenda's presentation and what she was saying about my quilt! 

 

Thanks to Deborah Bingham for taking the pictures and sharing with me!  If you want to see more of the exhibit, check out photos at The VQF Dear Jane Special Exhibit.

This week finds me up in the beautiful Sierra Mountains in Mammoth Lakes. Here to see the Jazz Festival and celebrate our one year anniversary.  As always, I bring along the Janome for a little sewing time.

Convict Lake

This week I will be working on my July UFO-Liberty table runner. I have cut out all the pieces for the stars and will start putting together this afternoon.

 

 

I am also working on a couple of applique blocks. Have them all prepped and just need to sew the pieces down. These are the first two blocks from a block of the month by Temecula Quilt Company in Temecula. It is a great little shop offering reproduction fabrics and patterns. If you are ever in the area it is a must see.
