Guestbook

I've been quilting since 2005, still learning and quite addicted. I'm caregiver for my husband (MS) and work out of the house as an Accounting Manager for a telecommunications company.  Hubby and job keep me quite busy but I still manage to find time for my hobbies.

We have no children but consider our two dogs and two cats our "kids." Sunny, one of my cats, is an avid assistant and manages to work his way into all my quilting projects.

Hi Linda,

I've been on your website. Beautiful!! I took it at my favorites. And thank you also for making blocks for Nina. I'm speechless because I didn't expect this. I'll send you a private mail with my address.

Hi Loes,
It is hard to say how much your story is touching the hearts of all of us here. This is our small way of showing we care about you and your family. We cannot be there to help out but we can show we care by making Nina a quilt. One day you will find someone who needs comfort and do the same for them.
Best wishes....Linda

 Happy Birthday Linda!  You share a birthday with my aunt.  She always thought that the party at school and all the valentines were for her birthday!  Did you?  Mine is on July 4th and I thought the fireworks were just for my birthday!  What a rude awakening to find that it was the nation's b'day and not just mine!   LOL

Thanks for the birthday wishes Pam. The biggest upside I found to a holiday birthday is that it's impossible for loved ones to forget it :-)

Hi Linda,

Welcome here! Always good to meet another Linda. It used to be a very popular name when I was a kid.

Hi Linda,

Welcome to All Our Quilts. I really look forward to getting to know you. I hope that you will put some of your quilts on this web site, and take part in getting to know other quilters around the world. I'm sorry to hear about your husband, that is so hard, I have had friends with this. I also in my past life did accounting, which I love.

I went to your web site, it is really nice. The patterns look great. They would be fun to make.

About where do you live? I live in upstate NY.

Comment by Hobbystash

Hi Sue, I live in Council Bluffs, IA...and most definitely plan to post some pics and join in. Thanks for warm welcome!

Rosie & Sunny

As you can see, they all get along. Rosie (black female cat) absolutely adores Stacy (our female standard poodle). She follows her around constantly.

 

Sunny, you've seen constantly...he's our cog (part cat part dog). Greets all newcomers and is afraid of nothing.

 

Stacy and Billy are 10 and 7 respectively...although Billy sitll acts like a 6 month old.

 

They keep us sane and laughing. In the last photo, Rosie has managed to snuggle herself between Stacy and Billy on their bed.

I'm hoping admin doesn't shoot me with this entry. Not sure the gallery was designed to handle this kind of abuse...grin. But I wanted to illustrate my quilt-as-you-go technique. It's not the traditional approach you see when searching the internet.

AOQ Block Exchanges 1-3....part 1

Exchange 1

I couldn't stand to let these babies sit any longer. I played with them for a couple of weeks trying to come up with a combination of all three exchanges that I liked. No luck. No matter what I did, I was unhappy with the patterns created. The stars looked great with the blue blocks. The blue blocks looked great with the white blocks. But the stars with the white blocks just didn't look right to me. Finally the light bulb lit and I decided to make several smaller quilts out of the blocks. I decided to separate the blocks from the stars and I'm a happy camper now.

Finished my blocks

Fourth Exchange blocks

Done. As you can see, I made identical blocks which resulted in an interesting effect. Looking at this pattern, you can create so many different effects depending on your color selection...I'm planning to put the four blocks I keep on each of the corners so that they blend with everyone else's blocks and the identical effect is lost.

 

The middle row of each block was a struggle but the end results of this pattern are worth it. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's blocks.

My first quilt totally hand quilted

This is the fastest I've completed a project...nothing like the birth of a baby to inspire completion! My first two hand-quilted projects were wall hangings. This my first quilt totally hand quilted. I've found that once I got the hang of it, I really enjoy it. I found a butterfly stencil and used it for the butterfly in each corner.

Sudoku

I finally got around to doing a Sudoku quilt hanging. I've finished the piecing and basting. I plan to hand quilt this one. The finished size is 24 x 24.

 

It's roughly based on the Quilter's Sudoku wall hanging by McCall's Quick Quilts. I reduced the size, spiffed up the sashing, and increased the border. I've marked the squares with symbols rather than numbers.

Sampler Afghan and Matching Quilt

The quilt

I thought it would be fun to make a matching quilt and afghan set. Not sure yet who this will be going to. The afghan is crocheted using the Tunisian crochet knit stitch. The quilt as shown being inspected by Sunny has been hand basted to the batting and backing but I have not yet started quilting it. Design to be determined...lol.

 

Meanwhile, I'm attempting to hand quilt my kaleidoscope quilt. My fingers BE SORE...

Finally finished. Made a couple of extras since the exchange is still open. Per Pam's suggestion I'm holding off on sending until after 4/30 when the exchange is closed and we'll know the final count needed.

 

On to Nina's block now.
