Just a reminder

Just a reminder!  The HMQS show started today and runs through Saturday at South Towne Expo Center.  

 

My daughter Holly and I went this morning.  You will be awed! inspired! and overwhelmed with the beautiful quilts.  There are so many categories that surely one will be your favorite. 

 

You will have to make sure you see the Youth Division quilts.  One of my employees,  Deanna,  has a lovely 11-year-old daughter – Abigail.  She entered a quilt that she cut out, pieced, quilted, and bound 100% by herself.  It was our pleasure to be there this morning to hear her name called in the special category of “Under 14″.  She WON THE PRIZE. 

 

 

We are so proud of her.  Her quilt was small bowties in graduating colors and was titled “Prom Night.”

 

 

She has made many small doll size quilts, some of which are for sale in our store, but this one was larger and SO FUN!  Way to go Abigail – we hope you continue and create more award winning quilts in the future. 

 

April and May Trunk Show

We’d like to thank Dorene Parker for allowing us to show her quilts during February and March.  They were viewed by a lot of people and the comments were wonderful to hear and were passed on to her.  Thank you Dorene for your inspiration!

 

Our next resident quilter is Karen Phillips from Pleasant View, Utah. She is an accomplished quilter and has a variety of quilts on display.  Please stop by and see them.  We will have a “Meet and Greet” Saturday May 19th from 11-2.  

 

Here are a few of her quilts, but they are much better in person.

 

 

If you would like to be a featured quilter in our Heritage Classroom/Gallery, please contact Marlene at the shop.  It is OK to nominate a friend, too.

Go! Go! Dino!

Cute new sample quilt in the shop, made using Babyasaurus fabric.

Here is a close up of the dino print.

Meet and Greet

Doreen Parker has kindly displayed a number of her quilts in our classroom/gallery.

You can join us for a meet and greet with Dorene Parker this Saturday March 3rd from 1-4pm .

Here is a preview, but we hope you will be able to come see the quilts in person and enjoy their delightful creator, also.

Show and Tell

This little beauty took less than a week from start to finish.

Just pick a variety of our 1930′s reproduction fabrics, a simple pattern (available in the shop), and before you know it:  A GREAT QUILT!

Show and Tell

One of the best gifts of love we have seen in a while.

Marcie got all her fabric here at My Heritage fabrics and brought it home to show before delivering it to a very lucky child.

Great job, Marcie!

I’m new here!

A darling sample created by Brooke using Riley Blake fabrics in the Filbert pattern by ZanTaYou.

Too CUTE!

Show and Tell

Sweet baby quilt with an owl and a special saying:  Owl always love you!

And Roberta came by with her wedding quilt.

And she included the lucky (and happy) couple in her signature block!

She did great work, and sets a good example for all of us quilters to label our quilts.

Quilts are works of love and worth remembering.  Thank you for sharing your work with us.  We love Show and Tell.  See you (and your projects) in the shop!

Turning out tablerunners

Connie F. sent us this picture of the tablerunners she completed this past week.

She says:

Well here’s a picture of the 28 I just finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still have a couple more to do, but I think I’m gonna take a little break!!
Hope all of the recipients enjoy them!! (my Mom in law is getting 12!)

We are certain they will enjoy them, Connie.  Thanks for sharing your projects.

She made these tablerunners using our 10-minute tablerunner pattern which is FREE and available by e-mail on request.

Holiday Show and Tell

Susan McFarland brought this beautiful Christmas Row Quilt by to share.

Row quilts are a great way to try out new techniques without committing to an entire quilt.  She has some traditional piecing, paper piecing, applique…and they all make a beautiful finish.  Good work, Susan.
