Another Big Hooray

I am listed on http://www.onlinequilting.wordpress.com/.  My listing will only be new today.  Thanks so very much.

Now on to another fun day of quilting.  Watch for pix tonight.

Hooray

Mamabillquilts is now listed on quilterblogs.com.  I'm so happy to join many other quilters and bloggers.  That's where we find the latest quilt buzz.

Guilding

Its that time of year.  Quilt guilds are starting up again.  Tonight is sewing night for Suppose guild.  We are going to be working on medallion quilts this year.  I have my center block done, so I will be ready to start on the first border.

Saturday I am teaching at a guild in Pocatello.  They asked me to show them three ways to make a Cathedral Window block.  Watch for a tutorial later today or tomorrow.

Monday is the start of a brand new group in Preston.  This one will include lunch each month and a lot of fun sewing.  I'm looking forward to it. 

Happy guilding!

A Quilter's Breakfast

 Hot chocolate, a muffin and a ufo is my idea of a great breakfast.  I pulled this ufo out of the closet and now I want to work on it to see what it will become.  The fabric is just as gorgeous as when I bought it several years ago.

Strangest Quilt Ever

This is the finished quilt top for the War of 1812 Challenge.  The rules said 30" x 72".  I guess it would keep a skinny soldier warm, but what will I do with it?  Maybe the back of the couch will want to wear it.

I finished a sample for Suppose and returned it today.  Prince Charming by Tula Pink is used in this quilt called Field Study.  See it hanging in the store soon.

Now I have a few days off and can concentrate on my own projects.  Guilds are starting up again this month.  At Suppose Creative Guild, we are going to work on a medallion quilt all year.  Each month we will receive two more border patterns.  I am finishing my 12" center block. 

Today's tip comes from drafting this block.  To make a 3" quarter square triangle block, I needed to cut two 4 1/4" squares.  Always add 1 1/4" to the size you want your quarter square block to be. 

Latest Projects in my Quilt Room

I've been busy developing classes for the winter class catalog at Suppose Quilt Boutique.  I am practicing quilting on my sewing machine using the book "One Line At A Time".  Its so much fun.  I can't wait to teach this class so other quilters can finish their own quilts without having to send them out for expensive machine quilting.  Watch for the class in the winter edition of Suppose's class catalog.  Suppose
