Recap of Quilting in June

 I made a small kaleidoscope quilt in a class with Gloria Green.

Teryn’s quilt top is now all pieced.

 “The Folks” is ready for quilting.

My nine patch only needs 12 more blocks.

Joyful Hearts Chorus and Teryn’s Quilt

Life …

The Joyful Hearts from Lebanon, PA gave a singing program at our church.

Our house teamed with youth that evening.

Three of the Risser siblings, my cousin Dennis’ children, and others stayed with us for bed and breakfast.

My design wall from weeks ago changed from this …

… to this.

Now it’s getting shoved to the back burner again to wait for the quilting.

Wheat Harvest and Wishful Quilting

Life …

I picked up Kirby and Stacy at 3025 and brought them home to play with Ashton.

… behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. –John 4:35

Cutting the first swath around the field.

I received my “Spring Storm” quilt back from the SAQA exhibit Southern Voices, in Little Rock, Arkansas.

My design wall has been like this for weeks. I’m hoping I can work on it today.

Life, Guests, Teryn Ray’s Quilt

Life …

Angie’s folks, Greg & Irene, and her sister, Renee came to visit Craigs and see their new grandson, Josiah. Tina was more interested in Harold and the Purple Crayon than she was getting her picture taken.

I’m starting now on Teryn Ray’s quilt.

I've started making his name now, TERYN RAY. You can check it out here.

Give Away–4 Yards of Fabric

Welcome to

Giving Thanks – Quilters’ Blog Hop Party

I thought it would be fun to give away an assortment of fabric somewhat similar to what I’m planning to use for Teryn Ray’s quilt. The total amount is 4 yards. That’s right, 4 yards of fabric of different size pieces.

To be in the draw, all you have to do is leave a comment telling which one of my quilts in the tab “2013 Quilts” you like the best, and if you care to, let me know why.

For an extra chance in the drawing become a follower in some way or follow by e-mail and come back and let me know how. If you are already a follower let me know that as well and how you follow in your second comment.

This giveaway will be open until Nov. 26, 2013 at 5 p.m. PST and to US addresses only. Then we’ll choose a winner with Mr. Random Generator.

60th Anniversary and Teryn’s Quilt

Life …

We celebrated Paul’s folk’s 60th anniversary with a Sunday dinner lunch.

Our hosts Galen & Jeanie with Lanell & Rhoda.

Mark & Miriam and Yours Truly & Paul

Jed & Vicki, Jerrill & Josie, and Daddy & Mom

We missed all the siblings & their spouses from afar.

Mom and Daddy told us about the skunk that came in through their dryer vent and couldn’t get out. Mom turned the dryer on and soon they smelled singed hair.

The skunk ate a hole in the vent and crawled out into the house. Daddy said if you catch them by their tail they can’t spray. So Mom and Daddy carefully ran him into a small bathroom to catch it.

Daddy caught him by the tail, took him to the outside door that Mom had opened for him, and flung that skunk far out into the night.

… as a Quilter

I’m trying to decide on a quilt for our 7th grandchild, Teryn Ray. I want to use the puppy dog fabric as a jumping off point.

The pattern is an improvisational one from “Quilting Modern” by Jacquie Gering and Katie Pederson.

I’m thinking of using the light fine print or the solid light brown for the gray background and then put the puppies in the rectangle boxes.

I need to think on this a while.
