Giveaway -- Amazingly Simple Triangle Stars

My amazing sister, Barbara Cline has done it again!

Here she is having fun with all of us sisters and Mother. Can you spot her with the black handled scissors on the left?

She has written her 4th quilt book, this one called Amazingly Simple Triangle Stars.

I enjoyed watching Barbara piece together some of the quilts in this book at our annual Heatwole Sewing Retreat in 2014.

She sat in the far corner of our cabin and ...

... worked tirelessly while some of the others went out thrift shopping.

~~~~~~~~~~

A nostalgic moment.

Barbara made this quilt from Father’s pants. Mother's comment was, "He never wore jeans."

~~~~~~~~~~

It's amazing how all the quilts in this book can be made from one simple triangle unit.

Just look at these quilts, all made with this one triangle unit. I think the quilts look complicated, but really when broken down to this one unit, they become very easy.

Barbara has also furnished different color options for each quilt and included "Life Lessons" through out the book.

Thank you, Barbara and C&T for allowing me to give away a copy of Amazingly Simple Triangle Stars to one of my readers. (U.S. winner will receive a printed copy and an International winner will receive a digital copy.) For a chance to win, please leave a comment on this post. Comments will be open through Thursday, May 5. I'll pick a winner on May 6. Be sure that you are not a no-reply blogger or leave your email address in your comment.

Now hop on over to the other particapting blogs to see more of this great book and more chances to win a copy of your own.

Lily II

Life …

One open-faced sloppy joe … coming right up!

… as a Quilter

I started another class sample, Lily II, in a smaller format and simplified the design in the process. The square patches for the background are fused to a background fabric in a diagonal grid similar to the way I did my peacock quilt.

I used Superior’s Fantastico thread for the quilting.

I finished it by sewing a facing to the front and folding it around to the back.

Detail

It finished at 10.5” X 13.5” and is ready for hanging.

Although it’s a class sample, it is for sale. $75

I also made this little Christmas Wreath that measures 4.5” X 5.25” for our PTQs.

And the winner of my striped fabric giveaway is

Vicki in MN. Congratulations!

Fabric Giveaway

Join us at Sew Mama Sew for lots of giveaways.

This giveaway is now closed. And the winner is Marcia W. who said "Purple Irises are my favorite flower and my purple iris quilt on my bed highlights this .

I’m giving away purple fabric. A fat quarter of 6 different pieces.

To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment about something purple.

And for me, I’m reminded of the child’s poem

GRANDPA DROPPED HIS GLASSSES

Grandpa dropped his glasses once
In a pot of dye,
And when he put them on again
He saw a purple sky.
Purple fires were rising up
From a purple hill,
Men were grinding purple cider
At a purple mill.
Purple Adeline was playing
With a purple doll;
Little purple dragon flies
were crawling up the wall.
And at the supper-table
He got crazy as a loon
From eating purple apple dumplings
With a purple spoon.

I’ll choose a winner by Mr. Random on May 11. This giveaway is only open to US mailing addresses.

1600 Quilt, Giveaway Winner, Picnic

Since Mother finished the FourSquare String Quilt, she started another one with the left over strings of my "Spring Storm."

She just sewed the ends of the strips together  for a 1600 quilt only…

I think it’s more like a 3072 quilt.

I think she was both surprised and pleased at how fast it went together.

 

I need to cut some borders for her, and then I think it will almost be a twin size.

And the winner for my fabric giveaway is #111.

HI! IT'S THE ROSEBUD PINEAPPLE!

THANKS FOR A LOVELY GIVEAWAY!

HAPPY STITCHING

 

Congratulations, Linda!

 

I found it interesting to see my readers favorites of my NQOF quilts. I'm guessing that "A Plate of Pineapples" and "Pharoah's Tombs" were chosen the most.  Thank you everyone for your comments and participation. A Plate of Pineapples won a blue ribbon last week at QuiltFest in Pigeon Forge.

 

And "Pharoah's Tombs" and "Ezekiel Saw the Wheel" were both on exhibit at the AQS Show in Lancaster, but no ribbons there!

Saturday I took Kirby, Stacy, and Ashton for a picnic…

 

…out at the implement shed.

 

Later I took a walk while the boys rode their bikes.  First Kirby’s pant leg got caught in the chain.

Then his chain came off. And later the riding got too hard for Stacy & Ashton. I was glad to get back to the house where the boys could play quietly in the living room and I could get back to my quilting!

Mother’s Quilt, Spring Storm, Guests

Mother has stuck with her string quilt and sewed and sewed. And now she already has it finished. We thought she was making this for charity; but yesterday I got to thinking that here she made this quilt when she is 87 years old, and I think it needs to stay in the family as an heirloom. So she said I could have it. How about that? Maybe we can do something else for charity!

We are trying to think of a good name for it. Maybe someone out there in blog land has a good idea of a name.

I have been working on “Spring Storm” as much as I can. Here is the background for a big bolt of lightning coming down out of the sky.

I’ve machine appliqued the lightning to the background and now I’m quilting it with organic lines about 1/8” apart. I’m loving the texture the quilting is giving it.
