just seeing all the creative projects everyone comes up with gosh i feel like i ve grown leaps and bounds about quilts and quilting in the last several months honestly i don t think i would have attempted sewing a dresdan plate six months ago i just thought it was too hard i ve learned so much just by doing i ve also done a lot of reading as well as watching online tutorials i bet you have heard of jenny doan from the missouri star quilt company i m pretty sure i ve watched every you tube video she s made a few months ago i even got to meet her in person my local quilt shop hosted a trunk show she presented it was neat getting to see some of the quilts she s made online in person they are very nice and she is too at the beginning of april kansas city modern quilt guild held a

off which is when most of the sewing events are planned that all said i was able to sign up for a fabric challenge sponsored by riley blake and the modern quilt guild each participant was given six fat eighths from their basics category and told to create anything quilted i decided to make a poncho for my littlest daughter charlotte drumroll please i created the poncho using the slice and insert technique i learned in the improvisational piecing craftsy course i took a few months ago i experimented with different quilting styles after it was pieced i think it turned out pretty cute and

it was a great albeit short mini vacation i attended my sister s graduation from nursing school the ceremony was nice and her speech she was selected as the student speaker was very inspirational it was also funny she used humor in her speech as she was probably the oldest of the graduates nursing will be my sister s third career about ten years ago she got her master s in education and has been teaching english to middle school kids since now she s a nurse i m thinking she is actually a career student we look like complete opposites she is blonde and blue and i m brown and brown she d be mortified if i told you she is older than me but she is 10 months older seriously i m super proud of her and i know she s going to be a great nurse she loved the quilted wall hanging i gave her except she thought the back was the front i assured her she could hang it either way she wanted she really loved that it matched the quilt i gave her for her ahem 39th birthday one last tidbit i m super excited about the vintage quilt i found a few weeks ago at good juju kc i think the pattern is called around the world it is so awesome it was hand quilted i ve put on my daughter s bed just for the

at free state quilt studio just wanted to share a few pictures of my recent evening at our local county fair i entered my do over quilt in the wall hanging quilt class and i won a red ribbon that means my little quilt placed second in this category it was fun looking at all the quilts as well as the other exhibits it was even fun looking and learning about different farm animals who knew so many different kinds of chickens existed my daughter charlotte especially liked getting to feed cookies to this little gal also named charlotte we also had fun looking through the nasa exhibit we even got to touch a moon rock guess who now wants to be an astronaut did i mention the plentiful fair food yes i had to go there carrot cake funnel cake with cream cheese icing and powdered sugar we had a great time at the fair it really brought back memories of when i was a kid growing up in northern iowa i was a 4h kid and i can remember entering blueberry bars at the fair doing a place setting they still do that by the way and even showing my miniature schnauzer it s neat that even in the city there is still a small corner of ruralness that still gets to shine via the fair every year speaking of iowa i am going to be heading there soon to celebrate with my sister she is graduating from nursing school i made her a quilted wall hanging to match the birthday quilt i made for her last year i hope she likes it i made the heart using the stitch and flip method i learned from jacquie gering s improvisational piecing modern design craftsy course i used scraps of the same fabric i used for the birthday quilt i used larger pieces for the back i hope you all are having a great summer it s going by super fast so be sure to enjoy every minute of it angela pin it posted by angela at 9 20 pm 3

state quilt studio blog post in my last post i wrote about my daughter s early complaints of summer boredom she has had to eat those words since this last post she s performed at an end of season gymnastics exhibition spent a week at a parks and rec camp and spent five days and nights in the mark twain national forest camping and canoeing i m pretty sure she has had a blast with all these activities even tipping the canoe in the cold clear waters of the north fork river i must say i enjoyed camping and canoeing too even though i had no cell phone service no access to the internet and had to drive to the restroom and showers anyone who knows me knows i m not much of an outside kind of person and by the way camping is a lot of work that said i did have fun but i m glad to be home and i m anxious to get back into my sewing room in order to finish up the last few of my improvisational piecing craftsy course i ve had such an awesome time working on these projects i finished my do over quilt the night before we left for our camping trip i m super happy with the results do over quilt back i decided to use a decorative stitch for the quilting i would have never even thought about trying that had it not been for the course instructor jacquie gering i love the result i m excited to bring this little quilt to the next kansas city modern quilt guild oh did i mention i joined this guild well i finally did it i went to my first meeting in may and joined a few days later i m thrilled to be a part of the guild and i can t wait to get involved i hope you are enjoying your summer so

try again but this time i will make sure the fabric triangles i use to flip and stitch are bigger that way i think the end shapes will be more distinct have a look at some of the quilts my craftsy classmates quilts completed for the stitch and flip class i skipped ahead in the class and finished another quilt using jacqie gering s slice and insert technique i actually signed up the the craftsy course because of gering s crosscut quilt this is one of my all time favorite quilts ever isn t is awesome i love the colors the architecture of it and the quilting is amazing now here is my version not so awesome but still i liked it i used browns rust and mustard yellow these colors as well as the architectural lines remind me of the brady house in the brady bunch i liked this quilt until i quilted it yuk not happy so ever heard of a mulligan it s a do over if you flub up a golf stroke here is my do over quilt top i used leftover batiks from my ocean waves quilt i also scaled back this
