Church Banner

Shirley made this banner for the Catholic Church in Wilbur. The cross is laser cut, I found it online at TheCreativeIron.com . Not sure why some of the pictures look fuzzy, maybe I should share my glasses - they looked great on the teeny-tiny camera screen.

Wild weather in Lincoln County, WA

Who says we don't have wild weather in the Pacific Northwest? Kayla and I caught this on our way home from the Inland Northwest Machine Quilter's Meeting in Spokane this afternoon. I've never seen anything like it!

Helen's: Star Wedding Quilt

Helen made this quilt for her granddaughter's upcoming wedding. I used a suggested 'poopie green', King Tut 910, for the quilting on the blocks and for the side borders (the large blue borders are the sides of the quilt). The thread reads metalic on the quilt - whodda thunk it!!!

The stiching in the white blocks and on the borders are from a panto and block set called "Heraldic Hearts" from Patricia Ritter. This was interesting to do. Not only did I use a contrasting thread (I'm not usually that brave!), my laser light went kaput, so I had to McGuyver a fix (remember the show??). DD Leslie is working on fixing the short in the laser. That AirForce training is useful not just on airplanes and choppers.


For those of you that don't know, the studio is in a former church. I think this is the first photo I've posted on the blog that shows the high ceilings. Maybe it's time for a studio tour..

Elaine's: Neimeyer Spinning Bear Paws

This is another raffle quilt. It is a Judy Neimeyer Spinning Bear Paws. I love the colors in this one. I used Warm and White batting, Rainbows thread on the top, with Bottom Line in the bobbin. As always, click on the pictures to get a closer look.

It's Done, It's Done - Country Village -Library Raffle Quilt

YEA!! It seems like this one has been on the machine for three weeks. It has, off and on. Lots of time S&S (standing and staring) trying to figure out what to do, what to do....

Lots of rows, lots of pictures!

It's been washed and is pinned to the foam boards for blocking. Tomorrow it will be shown to our Senior Citizens at the local assisted living facility. Monday, it goes for display at a downtown business.

Raffle tickets are available. If interest, send me an e-mail and I'll get the information to you.
