Quilt Show Tribute 2020

[Music] [Applause] [Music] hi everyone welcome to will rubies my phone went off you know how when you set your phone to your calendar and it gives you a notice well the notice was that it's the sisters outdoor quilt show and I know like many of you that I am grieving the fact that we are not actually together here and sisters to walk and take in the quilt show all together but I know from hearing from some of you that you have already plans for arriving next year and so next year it's gonna be a party and we will be meeting at pika coffee and taking in all the quilts but what to do this year I decided that I would give you a little quilt show of my history of quilting now be sure that you go to the sisters outdoor quilt show website and the stitching Post website because they are they worked so hard to put together a virtual quilt show for you and you know it is what it is isn't it so let's get started what I thought I would do is show you some of my quilt the long history of my quilting and the fact that I like it all there is no specific genre as you shall see in the quilts that I show you that I kind of dabbled in a lot of different things but let's start with the quilt that the first large quote that I made and this was back in the early 90s and it was a design your own quilt it was kind of to teach you how to piece and to to layout do the layout of the club so this thing is a very very large queen sized quilt totally out of Debbie mum fabrics and it is called the Queen Mum I know I'm not tall enough or wide enough to show you the whole thing but you get an idea totally made out of Debbie mum fabrics which I have talked about before and this clip actually travelled the United States with the fabric manufacturer and I just took all of her fabric line that year and design blocks and then the layout I love this quote because it was the beginning it was my cold from the beginning I keep this quilt here because it is a quilt a learning quilt I wanted to make a two color red and cream quilt doesn't everybody want to do that but I kind of wanted to give it a old look so I thought I would tea diet look what happened look what happened it turned out only some of the fabrics took up the tea die lesson learned dye your fabric first before you piece your quilt because now I have a three color quilt sorry I'm not tall enough or my arms are wide enough let's see what we got here oh this is one of my favorites I got this kit from Holly Hills quilt shop up in near Portland and it's called chubby chicks love this pattern love love love this pattern and I loved the name of it chubby chicks I made this quilt for G because when we first relocated to Oregon he was a stay-at-home dad and he would watch Mister Rogers with our youngest son who was still a baby and so I made mr. Rogers neighborhood for him because when I'd come home from work he would say mr. Rogers likes him just the way he is so a little bit of designing a little bit of applique fusible applique in that cute this is just leftover leftover corners from half square triangles that I saved and turned into a little star quilt I used to not waste any piece of fabric now since it's the sisters outdoor quote show I have to show you a quilt that gene Wells made I wish I was taller but this quilt I was lucky enough to get at an auction and the quilting on this is amazing isn't that beautiful I love this and the fact that the founder of the sisters outdoor quilt show made it I always wanted to do a Irish chain and with the scalloped edges so this was on our bed for years made out of thirties fabrics and I taught myself how stall up and how to bind bind a scalloped edge one of my favorites of course all of these are my favorites that's why I still own them but this is a buttermilk Basin design hangs up every year in my entryway she is such a talented designer and she really brings that warm family fuzzy feeling to her wool applicator and so I love doing her projects this actually has the date act with the date 2014 on it this was a primitive gatherings well I let the combination of piste and wolf this cook there's just no way holy moly so I used to belong to a couple of different quote groups online and when the Millennium millennia was coming around we were challenged to make a quilt with 2,000 different fabrics and the way we did this was we exchanged two and a half inch squares so you would send a pack out of your stash of twenty five two and a half inch squares to someone and they would in turn send you twenty five two and a half inch squares out of their stash what was truly amazing to me in that process was that I only had five duplicate pieces of fabric that's amazing and included in each packet that you sent out you sent out a Muslim square with your signature and where you were located so this well is the triple Irish chain there's no way I could hold it there's no way an army a fireman could hold this up it is 25 I I can't remember how many 25 inch square packs I got but it's a triple Irish chain and then I included I included the signature in there I don't know if you'll be able to see that but I here's Susan Sweeney from Benicia California and then Ayesha Khalid from Kuwait is that not amazing the world of cultures is small here's Cinderella from Cinderella chrome from Albuquerque New Mexico Val leo from South Africa I mean this project was truly one of those game changers on how the how small the world really is and this is actually a quilt that is registered I'll see look at the label label is even with the squares and it's part this quilt is part of the Oregon quilt project it's part of history I went through a period and still loved all the Civil War fabrics and was using the I think it was Joe Morton's books and I made this quilt so you can tell there's no one's onra that I'm doing this quilt was another online exchange and this one was where we exchanged a few years ago they came out with the state flower fabric line and so we exchanged signature blocks where the block was made out of your state flower so I have this is a fabulous memory quilt so like right here Susan Oliver 2003 from Wyoming this was my block here our state flowers the organ grape it's not really a great so it's such a great memory that's why the Internet has provided and for a long time a community of quilters that can be connected let's see this is one of my favorites did I say that already this was my favorite well this was a class I took at the stitching post gravel squares and I had a whole line of fabric that I just wanted to see what I couldn't make let's see what year was this 2017 great granny squares and if you look at this beautiful quilting this was quilted by Sandy Laskowski who does quilting through the quilt basket and Ben let's see here snap shot 2017 and this was let's see what's this through oh this was through the back quarter shop it was a block of the month and my color color genre may be what you would say is usually not these colors but I thought it was so sweet I had to make it and it was raising money for st. Jude's bicycle up there that is a fun one fun fun mr. chillings worth I presume I always hang him up at Halloween I love him this one here is a line of fabric that I bought on our travels through Wyoming and Nebraska and this is called Silas's bears Silas is bear I should say cuz it's just one bear cute that was a free pattern put out by that fabric line get bored yet here's my dabble into needle turn applique it's just a fun totally out of my stash the quilt basket which was formerly the BJ's quote basket used to have a first saturday program where you'd show up the first Saturday of every month and you get a block for that month and eventually after nine months or so you'd end up with a quilt I ended up beautiful beautiful now this quilt is a great story I know I've told this story before on my blog but this was a quilt I finished when a friend of mine part of a quote group I belonged to passed away and her husband gave her sewing room to the quilt group and we got to pick out things that we wanted and this was a block of the month she had done well no to help me take that back this was a block of the month she had purchased and was in the trunk of her car when her husband found it and so I put all the blocks together and won one month was missing and so I had to add out of my stash which was easy enough to do because I liked the same fabrics it's her and I put this quilt together this is a quote in memory of Jackie this is another quilt by Holly Hills it was a quote kit they put together and it was a roll quilt Christmas wrong quilt and I always have this on the I especially love these Christmas balls and presents I always have this on the back of my couch during the holidays into the well you have to know our family is kind of geeky and then 2008 we were less you know this is this is a different one let me show this one first yes yeah so let me see the year on this one 2003 yeah the truth is out there I decided to design a layout and make an x-files the truth is out there and then I recreated the poster that hung behind Mulder's desk yes what can I say and then on the back I have all kinds of aliens this quilt was a Debbie Caffrey mystery quote that my quote the fabric stalkers did one time we started it on retreat and I like Debbie Caffrey mysteries they go together just perfectly and I decided to make it black with a a solid a group of solid fabrics get down towards the bottom oh this is another fat quarter shop block of the month and it was barns and again not my normal color way but I just loved it and look at those barns it was just so fun it's a I believe it's a Laurie Holt design and I just loved all the little motifs that were in the barns so that was fun to make I made this quilt this was another challenge to myself took me forever to get done it's a combination of applique with a buttonhole black buttonhole in the old old-fashioned sense but I wanted to make a quilt that had prairie points and so I made these stars with applique in the center and then I did prairie points it took me several years to do the prairie points because I wasn't quite sure I could do it but I did I did and finally the bottom of this pile of course this doesn't include the dozens of table toppers wool lap okay all of those things but this is a J wrecker her I like her fabric line and this quilt was a Halloween quilt I bought the fabric at a shop in Boise Idaho on one of our quilt rody trips and I just really like that kind of unusual design that J record is I mean they're they're just kind of he and so I am excited to make this cult well I hope you enjoyed this it it is just a fraction I have piles of table toppers and wool applique table toppers someday we'll go through all of those but I hope you enjoyed this small quote show on quilt showed a 20/20 and sisters Oregon and we shall see I hope all of you Nick shear remember it's the second Saturday in July [Music] [Music] [Music] thanks for watching and be sure to LIKE and subscribe on quilt roadies [Music]
