As this quarantine continues I have a few more closets that I’ve cleaned out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How about you? Do you have some favorite t-shirts you really don’t want to part with?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
T-shirt quilts are a perfect way to turn those shirts into something that will be loved for years to come. Below are a few pictures of t-shirt quilts I have made for customers.</div>

I don’t know about you but this quarantine has allowed me to get a lot of customer quilts done and finish up some of my own projects. I have a chair that belonged to my grandmother that I have been wanting to paint and reupholster for several years. I finally did it and am so happy with how it turned out. I wasn’t able to go out and buy upholstery fabric so I made my own using a 100% cotton top, a layer of batting and a muslin backing. Then I quilted it up on my longarm. It worked perfectly! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the BBFrosch chalk paint powder mixed with a little navy Behr paint I had on hand. No sanding or stripping necessary. Sealed it with the BBFrosch clear wax.</div>

<b>Hearts ‘n’ Hands Quilt Quilt Show 2019</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The month of June took me back to Southern Illinois where we lived for </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
13 years prior to moving to Idaho in 2017.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was invited to be the featured quilter at the Hearts ‘n’ Hands Quilt Show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was an honor and a privilege to be in the midst of so many talented quilters!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pulled together a display of quilts that I have machine quilted for customers and many of my own creations. Below are some pictures of that display followed by pictures of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
customer’s quilts that were on display at the show.<br />

It’s always a treat to see quilts that I have quilted hanging in a show. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When they leave my studio they are “rough” around the edges and ready to be bound. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The binding on a quilt is like the frame around a beautiful piece of art. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes it blends in with the artwork and sometimes it makes a bold statement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is the final touch!</div>

This show always has a very nice Bed Turning of Antique quilts. In the past a make shift bed is assembled with the quilts piled high on top. The quilts would then be peeled off one by one as a story was told about each. This year Harl, a guild member, went all out setting up this “room” with a truckload of antique furniture from his home. He recruited other guild members to </div>

dress up in period clothing and from what I hear, put on a wonderful bed turning. </div>

I recently accepted a challenge from the President of the<br />
Longarm/Machine Quilters Guild that I am a member of.<br />
This guild is a group of Quilters from the Metro St Louis area. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Suzie Haas, our president, designed two quilts<br />
for us to showcase modern quilting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew that this would stretch me in an area that I am slowly getting in to. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a pieced pattern and one with some applique.<br />
I chose the pieced chevron. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We displayed all of the challenge quilts at<br />
MQX Midwest in Springfield, IL last month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The requirements were, 40 X 40, 3 colors for the top<br />
and two colors for the binding, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that was mitered on the corners where the colors met.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a lot of fun and very interesting to see how others quilted their quilts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my finished quilt.</div>

Amanda has been back to school for over a week and I honestly don't know where summer went!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She goes to an early morning seminary class before school and has tennis after school so</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we are up at 5am, seminary begins at 6am and tennis ends at 5:15pm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No more lazy, hazy, crazy summer days here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now we have crazy, hazy, hot school days. Our "feels like" temps are suppose to be over 100</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the next few days and the humidity is almost as high. Needless to say my yard doesn't mind the weather and everything is growing, especially after the rain last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to trim back my fairy garden for the first time last week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Amanda and I had a lot of fun planting this miniature garden at the beginning of the summer.</div>

This is a quilt that I finished last spring.<br />
My customer was given the quilt top by a friend and asked me to add the borders, quilt and bind it.<br />
The triangles were pieced by hand from what was sure to have been clothing.<br />
I can only imagine the stories the person who pieced this top together<br />
would tell if they had it on their lap.<br />
I am so happy that I could put it all together so it can be used<br />
and treasured for many years to come. </div>

I wanted to share this quilt that I made for a wonderful couple.<br />
Steve and Cindy Clark left their home and family in Utah and spent 3 years serving and leading <br />
300 young missionaries from our church in the<br />
St Louis Missouri area. My husband was asked to work with them<br />
and he loved every minute of it.<br />
I wanted them to have something to remind them of their<br />
time here and some of their favorite things. <br />

The missionaries serve 18 or 24 months. President Clark would tell them<br />
that their time in the beginning would go by slowly like water draining from a<br />
bath tub but as their mission would come to an end it would swirl by.<br />

made this beautiful blessing dress from leftover fabric from her</div>

wedding dress that she also made.</div>

The quilt had to include 5 items; diamonds, pieced construction, applique, a variety of threads and emerald green. Ginny won third place with her quilt. Way to go, Ginny! </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Spring is here!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It seemed to take a bit longer this year but Spring has arrived.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The trees in our backyard have all of their leaves, completely hiding the ridge of homes behind us and it seems that </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the grass needs to be mowed twice a week.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am so excited about our container garden on our deck. Hubbie, Richard, read about these Smart Pots and after watching some youtube videos we decided to give them a try. You can go to their website <a href="http://www.smartpots.com/" target="_blank">Smart Pots</a> to learn more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> They can be hard to find so use the locator on the site. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We bought ours when we were in </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Texas meeting our new grandson. I should have bought a few more and will check out our area to get them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We planted tomatoes, peppers, green beans and a raspberry shortcake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our deck is a southern exposure so there's lots of sun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cody Spencer Hair</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">was born on January 17th.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He weighed 10 lbs and was 22 in.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have to share at least one quilt that I quilted recently.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have posted some of Susan's quilts before. She does lots of shop samples for one of our local quilt shops, Jackman's, who are featured in the newest shop hop edition of Quilt Sampler.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Susan was asked to make this quilt for a shop sample. The pattern showed it framed so she decided to do the same. I have always wanted to frame a quilt and after seeing how this turned out I am definitely going to give it a try.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't wait to make something like this for our home. It really was fun to do.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have lots more quilts to share but will save them for another day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have flowers to plant and quilting to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Spring!</span><br />

Spring is near !<br />
<br />
I do believe that Spring is almost here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took advantage of some beautiful weather yesterday and took a bike ride with some friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately my phone died and I did not get a single picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, old man Winter is trying his best to make to make a return but </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I believe it will be short lived.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My goal to post more regularly still needs some work</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I will try to play catch up with highlights of the past two months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My three sisters and I surprised my Dad for his 75th birthday on February 15th.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That meant one from Missouri, one from So California and me from Illinois</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
traveling to No California for a few days of fun, family and lots of good food!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We definitely surprised dad with a short rendition of the song</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"We Are Family" while he was playing broom hockey with the youth at church.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should say that our dad is a 75 year old kid that the youth LOVE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's still trying to process the fact that we are all there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took lots and lots of pictures. None of us are photographers so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some are blurry and some have the tops of heads cut off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This was the first time that all of us had been together at my parents </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
without kids and husbands in over thirty years!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad, sister Beth and I had the opportunity to participate in a scholarship run </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in memory of Heidi Greenwood. Life in the Air Force gives us lots of chances to meet wonderful people. We go to know the Greenwood family when they lived in Illinois. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They moved from Illinois to No California near my parents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heidi passed away March 22, 2013 at just 18 yrs old.</div>

It was a beautiful morning to honor Heidi and spend time with my dad and sister.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been busy working on lots of beautiful quilts. I have the best customers that have become my friends. I love the story behind each quilt. So much time and love goes into every one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lenzi made this quilt for her mom from some Red Riding Hood fabric. It had minkie on the back and was so cuddly soft. Lots of times I quilt away and am pleasantly surprised at how the quilting comes together. You just don't get the full picture until it's off the frame and laid out in front of you.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't believe it has been almost two months since I have posted anything. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can see that it will take me a while to get in the habit of doing this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have enjoyed all of the Christmas and New Years posts on my favorite blogs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Christmas found our entire family in Fort Worth, Texas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our 2nd son Tyler, his wife Rachel and our two grandsons Austin and Blake live there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rachel is a week overdue with grandson #3. He will be here soon because the doc says he won't let her go past tomorrow. Yippee!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our oldest son Chris and his wife Janelle, our son Chandler and his wife Devrey, son Spencer daughter Amanda, Richard and I all made our way to Texas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was the first time in several years that we were together for Christmas and as you can tell from this New Year's Eve picture we had a blast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The weather was wonderful so the guys got in a lot of disc golf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were able to go most every day to 5 different courses in the area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls would stop by the park for a hole or two but spent most of our time baking, cooking, crocheting, knitting watching a chick flick or playing some card games. So much fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoyed lots of reading time with Austin and Blake. That was one of
the few times these guys slowed down! They are busy, busy, busy but oh so
FUN! I do miss them. </div>

I didn't finish my customer quilts until December 12th. I really wanted to be done by the first but it just didn't happen. I have such awesome customers that do beautiful work. I love my job/hobby! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a quilt that I quilted for Janae. It was a very fun Christmas quilt!</div>

Susan made these samples for our local quilt shop and I quilted them. I went to the shop to take a picture of them finished and they were nowhere to be found. When I asked about them I was told that Susan took them home because they sold out of the fabric! Lucky for me I was able to go to Susan's home and take a few pictures. I think they look great on her bed.</div>

I really need to post more often and then the posts won't be so long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have lists in my head of all that I want to accomplish this year. I'm slowly writing them down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our normal two week Christmas break ended up being three due to snow </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I feel like I am just getting started. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are excited for our new grandson that will arrive any day </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and our first granddaughter will come in mid April. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope this New Year finds you healthy and happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Quilting! </div>

Amanda and I saw this Harvest Forest Animals and Harvest Zig Zag fabric </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from Timeless Treasures and knew it would be </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
perfect for a ten minute table runner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And because it is a Ten Minute Table Runner we thought<br />
let's make four of them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One for each daughter-in-law and us. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The patterns in this book are made by sewing different size strips together.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">you can come up with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I bought my book and the ruler from <a href="http://www.aroundtheblockquiltersshop.com/" target="_blank">Around the Block Quilters Shop</a>.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I had more blocks than I needed for the lap quilt and made this table topper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I wanted to have something that I could quilt using a new pantograph, Indian Summer, that you can see on my website <a href="http://www.countryjunctionquilts.com/#!product/prd1/1282435441/indian-summer-5%22" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When we moved into this home we purchased an inexpensive kitchen table and chairs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Richard had the great idea to get a piece of glass cut to put on top of the table.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This allows me to display small seasonal table toppers under the glass.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I love this!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Right now we have a scarecrow quilt on display.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We have also put together puzzles and slid them under the glass.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Family pics and notes find their way under the glass also.</span><br />
