You can find all the information about the show here on our website: Brownstone Quilters . If you come, be sure to say hello!
I pulled out this quilt that I finished in 2004 for the fall season.
Here and There Churn Dash.
I swapped churn dash blocks with my friend, Diane, of Persnickety Quilts. Maybe she will post a photo of the quilt she made. We used shirting prints and civil war reproduction fabrics. Here is a close up of some of the blocks.
I machine quilted it with a feather border.
Plain small print backing and my label.
We were inspired to make this quilt when we saw this in Quilters Newsletter Magazine Jan/Feb. issue in 2002.
I'm continuing to make rag balls. It's really easy when you trim away the batting and backing after attaching the binding. I also find it's a fun little "journal" of quilt backs. My Abe quilt backings are the 2 on the left, and the pink one is from my Mother's Garden quilt.
Here is a new pile from my recently finished "A Passage to India" quilt that needs to be rolled and glued.
Saturdayday is the big drawing for our Raffle quilt, Friendship Garden. I can't wait to see who wins this beautiful guild quilt.
I'll be back soon with photos from the show. In the meantime, have a fun week!
p.s. I never did get the "you might also like" button to work, but if you click on a label subject you will see the related posts.

ReplyDeleteHi Barb!
ReplyDeleteI love your churn dash quilt. Your quilting looks amazing and loved the label that reads, "Illinois to new Jersey". What a great idea of swapping blocks and making memories! Makes me want to bring all my repros out of the box. I think I am ready for a traditional quilt.
That raffle quilt winner is going to be quite lucky.
Looks like I am not going to be able to make it to the show. I am really sad about that.
I like your version of the Chocolate Dreams quilt. In fact, the name makes me think of chocolate which is not a good thing right now. LOL Your guild raffle quilt is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe raffle quilt is gorgeous. Love your churn dash... it's one of my favorite quilt blocks.
ReplyDeletewonderful, wonderful quilt, love the oldish colors! your rag balls are a great idea, what a fun way to use up the leftovers.:)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your churn dash quilt! The fabrics you chose, the trade with a friend, your fine quilting, all make it a beautiful keepsake. The churn dash block is one of my favorites. Don't know why. It's just humble and friendly, somehow.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a rag ball with trimmed ends from your Mother's garden quilt... does that mean it's finished!!! I can't wait to see it! I like your chocolate churn dash quilt - a fun project to swap blocks with a friend. I hope your guild show goes well.
ReplyDeleteI really wish I lived close enough to attend your show, and I definitely would have stopped to say hello.
ReplyDeleteYour churn dash quilt is a classic. I enjoy the inspiration of quilts like that one from pictures (and no instructions) in my old magazines. It's fun just going for the look.

ReplyDeleteHave fun, Barb. Checked out how far away you are and it's over 5 hours. Wish it was closer. Searched around your guild site and see that Gwen Marston is coming in April. Lucky you!
