So I did. I sewed and sewed and sewed and completed many projects. I got many old projects that I had started years ago and then put away for one reason or another and have either completed it or are close to being completed. After a few weeks, though, I found I was getting bored with all that and started looking for other things to do.</p><p>I read. I have been reading about a book a week, which for me is pretty fast. I have taken up a huge counted cross stitch project. It is probably way bigger than I should have taken on. I doubt I will live long enough to complete it. Oh well, that's okay, too. I have cleaned my pantry out and other cupboards and closets. We have taken clothes and unused kitchen "stuff" to Goodwill and now have more to take. I have actually washed windows. I also have been listing "stuff" on e-Bay. I have sold 7 quilts. I definitely didn't get even close to what I put into them, but I sold them which gave me money to buy more quilting supplies. Yay! I have also put several books and patterns on e-Bay. Most of them have sold. Some only went for $1, but a dollar is a dollar.</p><p>I found a free, yes free, pattern on TildasWorld.com for a dog pillow. I made two. So cute. </p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwcCZwk-PiCOk6VD181Sunt9kB8iPw2QYplpiMIf2jM8fPEMdo0mSHw4itnsFo2ka85Yi0-ljkDHBJ9MTEWIInzvw_R4Wupy_fY-EB79XjLMiwbrsPRMHbT80j2cnZdYaByd4jM4Jn2KE/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwcCZwk-PiCOk6VD181Sunt9kB8iPw2QYplpiMIf2jM8fPEMdo0mSHw4itnsFo2ka85Yi0-ljkDHBJ9MTEWIInzvw_R4Wupy_fY-EB79XjLMiwbrsPRMHbT80j2cnZdYaByd4jM4Jn2KE/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEOOODrpZf3d6Blpum4NwSLD6A62Opa-c0d41bUI58dUkcOXrXLMGhKk6dTI6yXr6lku82gJ8_xtTK7SykEGVqkKmw9mrjRvcsFBCWEk2-8Lw57UZFkGPRiEnLt_R6lCrxlofqzeZGICc/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEOOODrpZf3d6Blpum4NwSLD6A62Opa-c0d41bUI58dUkcOXrXLMGhKk6dTI6yXr6lku82gJ8_xtTK7SykEGVqkKmw9mrjRvcsFBCWEk2-8Lw57UZFkGPRiEnLt_R6lCrxlofqzeZGICc/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p>Before I made the two pillows above, I woke up one morning thinking about the fabric the witches, shown below.

I decided to make pillows of them. I have two away to family members and kept one for me to display. Each one was cute and I could't decide which one I wanted, so I gave first choice to the people I was giving one to.

My year started out with the death of my 97 year old mother. The next month was the death of my granddaughter’s grandfather. Another death in the family in April. Along with all of that grief, along came the Corona virus, also known as Covid-19. That became real for us the day after my birthday in March when our governor asked us all to stay at home because of the virus. We have pretty much been in-house since then. </p><p>The week after we were starting our shelter-in-place I could not sew enough. I was sewing on different projects sometimes as much as 6 hours a day. That lasted several weeks. I am now at the point of not sewing more than an hour or two a day and sometimes going a week without sitting at my sewing machine. That doesn’t mean I am not working on projects. I still have my owl embroidery blocks I am working on. I also read a lot and search the internet and Pinterest for recipes. I have been cooking more than I have since all the kids lived at home. I can tell because the scales are going up and up and up.</p><p>One of the projects I completed is my Bee Bee Bumbling Bee 🐝 quilt. I have been collecting bee fabric for years knowing I wanted to make a bee quilt. Using a Moda Layer Cake Mix, I made the one shown here. After it was all finished, I have it to a friend of Gil - Jim. Jim is a beekeeper. He came by yesterday to get it. He loved it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc7jGFYokNgjeBXthuBu0iZiHdhNeX-7O4oYqb_r6GMn8dYmoGw12GV6399cs37Z8fJdL3uGvUg8xjUyek61LLW64d4myjzwsGHNSGvq_ZKlEAQ_p72CXyb6iy7ZaO6RhPPoU4T-4oT9Y/s2048/7664E594-8D1C-4FC2-9E8E-B5436E97A92B.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bee, quilt" border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc7jGFYokNgjeBXthuBu0iZiHdhNeX-7O4oYqb_r6GMn8dYmoGw12GV6399cs37Z8fJdL3uGvUg8xjUyek61LLW64d4myjzwsGHNSGvq_ZKlEAQ_p72CXyb6iy7ZaO6RhPPoU4T-4oT9Y/w400-h300/7664E594-8D1C-4FC2-9E8E-B5436E97A92B.jpeg" title="Bee Bee Bumbling Bee" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTLPZZ-m81uhiBY4kniZRBbWrgmg6HfYTG5bHpLmcGnTvWhbJ9bb9neLXyqgn8tFOhDaPwFK_PYw5PN1Uh-iWZul06z89j4eONJwFOkC1rTMm4IVXBbvExhXYvOdT8G9ewnT6yE1gI_YM/s2048/EB0C6892-191B-41A4-8DD5-4243E192AF70.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bee" border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTLPZZ-m81uhiBY4kniZRBbWrgmg6HfYTG5bHpLmcGnTvWhbJ9bb9neLXyqgn8tFOhDaPwFK_PYw5PN1Uh-iWZul06z89j4eONJwFOkC1rTMm4IVXBbvExhXYvOdT8G9ewnT6yE1gI_YM/w400-h300/EB0C6892-191B-41A4-8DD5-4243E192AF70.jpeg" title="Backing" width="400" /></a></div><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR0viLNsUhp1ngTWe_cFkcgaNOmZH-EfQXls_7d8SgcKfEziJqeUWB8vJ8S32ZtuV2Odzt9vpo3jT8sHj8SdO9FkTVv7GPtEadT6gQX_w6kiq-dx4YiCd6fakRstConqcCHOSR4gLaKQY/s1440/3742DCF7-A1C3-4B49-88F3-700B745CF8AC.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1437" data-original-width="1440" height="399" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR0viLNsUhp1ngTWe_cFkcgaNOmZH-EfQXls_7d8SgcKfEziJqeUWB8vJ8S32ZtuV2Odzt9vpo3jT8sHj8SdO9FkTVv7GPtEadT6gQX_w6kiq-dx4YiCd6fakRstConqcCHOSR4gLaKQY/w400-h399/3742DCF7-A1C3-4B49-88F3-700B745CF8AC.jpeg" title="On long arm" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9qfglv7UhmbZ3LdDK4jRuxQWE16foyIWnA91wd72jjK0q5KmuE6Mpjhu9Zgpai5Xmcgf7WejuI9qpp8PQAgoYCy1UW_RBK0SP_ViAIHwLJpBENil5twpyVYvReKb0OM1EOOAbyFo_gl8/s2048/BBF15652-C82E-482B-983B-573E8015EA9B.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9qfglv7UhmbZ3LdDK4jRuxQWE16foyIWnA91wd72jjK0q5KmuE6Mpjhu9Zgpai5Xmcgf7WejuI9qpp8PQAgoYCy1UW_RBK0SP_ViAIHwLJpBENil5twpyVYvReKb0OM1EOOAbyFo_gl8/w512-h384/BBF15652-C82E-482B-983B-573E8015EA9B.jpeg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYy5ryCk8Sggt4VZuOEIgSDq7qHGr8MicYWWxOxmB2hIMdcOJA3CriW5bqn_Lp5x9IV30TuXqtMyQ_oZ6MB4nXTX9SdCmxf77CQMM6GRq66RflGLI_p1k54trnKhHTz4jPF8TU4YEWzPU/s2048/EEC13B9E-09BB-4170-BB6E-06B6797BF421.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYy5ryCk8Sggt4VZuOEIgSDq7qHGr8MicYWWxOxmB2hIMdcOJA3CriW5bqn_Lp5x9IV30TuXqtMyQ_oZ6MB4nXTX9SdCmxf77CQMM6GRq66RflGLI_p1k54trnKhHTz4jPF8TU4YEWzPU/w328-h246/EEC13B9E-09BB-4170-BB6E-06B6797BF421.jpeg" width="328" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>The second picture is the backing.

I have not posted anything here since a year ago. My last post was pictures from PIQF 2018. PIQF 2019 is going on this weekend in Santa Clara. In fact I was going to go down there today, but changed my mind.<br />
<br />
A lot has happened in a year in my quilt world. I don’t know even where to start. I guess I will just state what keeps me busy. Later I will organize some of my photos and get them posted. I do love to post pictures of my quilts and of quilts others have done.<br />
<br />
I belong to two art quilt groups. One is associated with the River City Quilters’ Guild. They meet at my neighbors house, so it is easy for me. Arty Q is the name. They are all so talented at what they do that sometimes I am a little intimidated to show my work. One of the challenges this year was to take two animals and make one using body parts from each of our two choices. Mine was a butterfly and an elephant. I called it Butter-Phant.<br />

I have done others but evidently I have not taken pictures of them. Maybe I will post them later.<br />
<br />
Our guild has had two shows since I last wrote. I definitely will post more later from both of them. The guild has also had some tremendous speakers that I want to talk about, too.<br />
<br />
In March we had a beautiful wedding of my granddaughter and Gil and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. I do not know how that happened! It sure doesn’t seem like 50 years. We went to Hawai’i and have lots of pictures from that excursion, too.<br />
<br />
So much more has happened this year. I post a lot on Instagram under Beehive Quilts, so you can keep more up to date there with what is going on in my life. I post there a lot more often.<br />
<br />
Thanks for keeping up with me.<br />

<br />
Last Friday my husband and I traveled to Santa Clara CA for me to attend the PIQF show for the first time. This was the 27th year, but the first year I made it down there. It was so worth the effort. The quilts were beautiful and from all over the world. There were almost as many vendors as there were quilts. Everyone wanted to see the vendors, so seeing and photographing the quilts was easy. Here are just a few.<br />

The above quilt represents an event that takes place in Japan where dolphins are herded into Taiji Cove and slaughtered. These few were able to escape. I first heard of this just a couple of years ago when my granddaughter showed me a video of the slaughter. This should stop. Fishing is a sport. There is no sport here. I applaud the quilt maker for making this statement.<br />

The above quilt was a reproduction from a picture made by Brandon Cole. It was all in red and white. The quilter made her original quilt in reds and whites but found it was hard to determine where one gooseneck barnacle started and one ended, so she redid the quilt in rainbow colors. Stunning.<br />

The above quilt is of a percussion group using instruments from the Tang Dynasty. She informs us the back and forth exchange of sounds between "gossiping" ducks while a "growling" tiger (the drums) waits nearby.<br />

The above four pictures are of a Block of the Month kit I purchased a couple of years ago. Mine is partially completed. In the quilter's write up she states she also purchased hers some time ago and just finished it. I don't know where she bought her pattern/kit from. I bought mine from Stitchin Heaven in Texas. I have purchased more than one BOM from this shop. Since I live in California and they are in Texas, it is all done through the mail. They are great. You can still purchase this BOM from them at <a href="http://www.stitchinheaven.com/">www.StitchinHeaven.com. </a><br />

There are just never enough cows in a quilt show. The quilter states this cow seemed to want to follow her home while she was in Ireland. Sometimes you just have to adopt animals into your life whether it is by taking the animal home with you or making a quilt from your pictures/memories. Love it.<br />

Same with the cow, there cannot be too many old trucks in a quilt show either. Especially the old weathered ones. This truck truly has character.<br />

I love the simplicity of this quilt. Yet if you think about it, it is not that simple. Well done quilters. I looked up what Ulu means, but there are several definitions for the word. Look it up for yourself and you determine what the quilts meaning might be.<br />

If you have ever lived around a Border Collie, you find they are exceptional dogs. In fact I doubt they think they are dogs at all. At least mine thinks she is closer to human than dog. Other than her barking. She does love to bark.<br />
<br />
This quilter told a remarkable story of her Border Collie, Orca. She stated in her write up that she was 18 when she got this adorable black and white puppy. She was told their life span was between 12 and 15 years. To an 18 year old that is a long time. In a dog's life, not so long. As I read her story about Orca, I realized my time with our dog, Mochi, is not going to be much longer either. She just turned 9. I took a picture of this quilt and texted it to my husband, daughter and granddaughter, all of whom help take care of Mochi. As I was typing Orca's story to them along with the picture, I was sobbing with the realization that within maybe 5 years, I will have to say goodbye to my beautiful dog, too. Thanks for bringing me to today, Angie.<br />

I am sure I am not the only one who buys fabric, patterns, kits and has all the intentions to finish them. The above quilt is a pattern I bought several years ago. I love embroidery. I love retro trucks and motorcycles. I am not crazy about doing lots of flying geese. So guess where I am with finishing this quilt top? You probably guessed. I have all the embroidery done. Just have to do the connecting stars and flying geese. Some day I will get it done. My colors are darker. I really loved how this quilter used a soft brown version. I also love how it was quilted with the Route 66 logo throughout the quilting. Some day I will post mine completed and beautiful, too. [I hope.]<br />

I failed to get the quilter's name on this one. Sorry. I do like to give credit where credit is due. I really like this quilt, as I love whales. My friend, Venita, recently took a trip to Alaska on a cruise ship. While there she found some great ideas for a quilt. I thought we could something like this into it. Thanks for the idea.<br />
<br />
I jokingly tell people as I talk about our plans saying, "My friend went to Alaska, and we are going to make a quilt showing the things she saw." Some day I will go, too.<br />

What a great statement this quilt makes! We are dumping so much garbage into our oceans that our progeny will be cleaning it up for an eternity. Those circles are actual bottle tops. Great job, Quilter.<br />

As I said, these are just a few of the quilts at this show. It is an enormous quilt show. Plan on attending next year. The dates are October 17-20, 2019.<br />

His name is Gannon. I made him a quilt in less than a day. It was super easy, as I purchased a darling panel, added a couple of borders, quilted it, bound it and was done. Ta da. So cute.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I named it Octopus and More.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And the backing. Such beautiful paisley sharks and dolphins.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAaY4GBWdcdkZI55k2X9XFxyS3fLqE-CPYeJTx7ikDB8SZcad9cjI-XrT9Q-79hdQGOPqrHjdIkJg5egoho8JdKe35l9ibnuZqMKdU1biGMvP-uJlodHxM-O24f0IZjbEMf9cy0ywno9w/s1600/Octopus+and+more+label+2016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAaY4GBWdcdkZI55k2X9XFxyS3fLqE-CPYeJTx7ikDB8SZcad9cjI-XrT9Q-79hdQGOPqrHjdIkJg5egoho8JdKe35l9ibnuZqMKdU1biGMvP-uJlodHxM-O24f0IZjbEMf9cy0ywno9w/s320/Octopus+and+more+label+2016.jpg" width="305" /></a></div>
<br />
And my homemade label. I love making my own labels. I find free clip art that goes with the name of the quilt and insert it into a Word document. Then I type the information I want on the label, such as the name of the quilt, my name, if someone else quilted their name, the town it was made in and the year it was made. I have also begun including a short story, if applicable, about the quilt or the quilt's origin. I have also taken to signing the label with a sharpe pen after I print it out. I print the label out on Printed Treasures inkjet printable fabric labels. They work marvelously. Just follow the directions on the packaging.<br />
<br />
Gannon has a brother that I also made a quilt for. His name is Parker. Here is his quilt:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This quilt I started over a year ago. It is is just strips of blues that I had and I sewed them together in one long continuous strip and then sewed them together. I then had some fish that I had cut with an Accuquilt cutter. I had prefused the material before cutting the fish out. I fused those down and then hand blanket stitched them down using gold embroidery thread. I really like how it turned out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
Even more I found the cutest backing. It has frogs swimming. Just too cute. A one year old, which Parker is, will love this backing probably more than the front of the quilt.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_p4rSHyG5a7I6CY9AsKbs7IzvKj7OUzOj_wA1ejY4S_tr6mTlCCLICDYCyLqW7wunSxih_C1QWBjo-K2aUIyReRPZ8TNv7zX_3xhrjlvlWPuxUh__Kak_Dt1uRNAikeHRL4aKicJxwn4/s1600/Go+Fish+label+2016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_p4rSHyG5a7I6CY9AsKbs7IzvKj7OUzOj_wA1ejY4S_tr6mTlCCLICDYCyLqW7wunSxih_C1QWBjo-K2aUIyReRPZ8TNv7zX_3xhrjlvlWPuxUh__Kak_Dt1uRNAikeHRL4aKicJxwn4/s400/Go+Fish+label+2016.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And again I made his quilt a label. Love it, too.<br />

In my stash, I have more Halloween fabric than any other theme! I just love the blacks, oranges and other colors that are associated with Halloween.<br />
<br />
I make at least one Halloween quilt every year. I often give the older ones away after I make the new one. Here is my most recent Halloween quilt:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My dog, Mochi, loves to photo bomb my quilt pictures. She is almost always in the picture frame somewhere.<br />
<br />

<br />
Like I said, I have more Halloween fabric than any other. So when I need to have a backing for this quilt, I went to my Halloween bin. Nothing big enough to cover the entire backing but lots of good sized pieces. I put them all together into this unique backing. The black was overwhelming, so I made some pumpkins to go on it. I also found an owl that I had made for something else and never used, so I adhered it to this backing. I actually like the backing as much as the front of the quilt. I wish I had some way to display both sides. I may have to have it hung from the high rafters in my entry way. That might work.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I named the quilt Come to My House for Halloween, as you can see on the above label. I really like this quilt. I am not crazy about the quilting. I used a spiderweb pantograph. The quilt is so busy it is hard to see that is the design. Though I did show it to a friend and her 18 year old daughter. The daughter stated she really liked the spiderweb design, so I guess it shows up better than I thought. I am glad she said that.<br />
<br />
So last night I was going through magazines that I keep with patterns I MAY work on some time in the future. I found three more Halloween/Fall quilts I want to make. Geez, I think this is an addiction!<br />

We fell in love with the pattern at first sight and decided to do our own personal Block of the Month, only we do it whenever we decided to get together and work on each block. The pattern has eight regular blocks and two extra blocks. We have done five of the regular blocks. This is my most recent one done:<br />

<br />
Below is the front of the pattern. As you can see, Amy used a theme to her blocks so that they all looked alike. I was not sure how I was going with mine until I had completed two of them. I decided to make each one a little different depending upon the background fabric I chose.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The first one I did had a flamingo in it. I love this particular one. Because of the flamingo, I chose a background of palm trees and flamingos and then put my own flamingo by the camper.<br />
<br />

<br />
The fourth one I did is below. I chose bicycles as my background fabric. On an outing after making this block, I found a fat quarter at a fabric shop that had bicycles in it. Bought it, brought it home and fussy cut a bike out and appliqued it next to the camper. Cute, I think.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For some reason, I did not take the other two camper blocks alone. I did take a picture to show Venita what the four I had done looked together. That was a concern for me since they are each so independent from the others.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The top two are the others I have not already shown here. I like them both. One is a forest setting background; the other has umbrellas, which the pattern had, too.<br />
<br />
Each of the blocks will have fabric from the camper of that block sashing it. Then I have purchased (but have not received yet) fabric that has mountains, forests, rivers trucks, cars and campers throughout. I ordered it on line and should be receiving it soon. That fabric will be the sashing and border around all the blocks.<br />
<br />
I am also making the block shown on the cover (see the picture of the pattern cover) of a family camping. There is also another block of an older couple camping. I will do that one, too. Plus I am going to make a block of a campground near a lake or river that has only tents. I have to design that one myself.<br />
<br />
I am so excited to complete this quilt. Venita is getting ready to go off on her vacation, so I guess I will work on the block that I have to design while she is gone.<br />
<br />
I will post progress as I go along.<br />

It is the first year I have entered. I entered because I thought we were going to go up there. My quilts did and I didn't. Boo hoo. I would have loved to see my own quilts hung there, though.<br />
<br />
I wound up sending up three more than I originally stated I was sending. After enrolling those two, I received an e-mail saying I could enter up to 10 quilts to sell in the show, too. I chose three more than I wouldn't mind selling and entered those, too. I sold two of them. I put decent pricing on them - meaning a lot less than it took to make them. But they sold. I got the check last week and it make me happy.<br />
<br />
The best part is on the quilts I sent up, they sent them back with the information card that was attached to each quilt and a yellow ribbon with the show's name and year the quilt was entered. My plan is to sew the ribbons to be back of each quilt to carry that into their history.<br />
<br />
I was so impressed with how easy it was to enter and receive back, that I plan on entering again next year. Maybe I will actually make it up there to see my quilts.<br />

This morning I got confirmation that the two I decided to enter were accepted. Anyone can enter their quilts, so I did not think I would be declined entry. It will just be fun to say, "This quilt was displayed at the Sister's Quilt Show." Woo woo!<br />
<br />
Here are the two I entered. The Castle one is a quilt I am really proud of. I do a lot of applique quilts, but this was probably the most complicated. I took a class from Barbara Olson last spring through my quilt guild here in Sacramento. She taught us how to make it and got us started. After I finished the initial block, I was not sure what kind of border to put on it. I decided to put the paper pieced border you see on it. I think it added a nice touch to the quilt. Right now the quilt is hanging over a staircase in our house.<br />
<br />

The other quilt I call African Batik. I purchased the star fabric at an African store in Fort Bragg California several years ago. I could not decided how to use it. Finally last year I put it together in this quilt. I quite like the colors and am surprised I actually purchased that bright yellow fabric for the background. I usually like more subdued colors. But there it is!<br />

This one is currently on my wall in my living room. Lorena will have to get that down for me, so I can get it sent off to Sisters Oregon.<br />
<br />
I don't know if I am going to Sister's this year. Maybe now that I have to go since I two quilts entered in it.<br />

He can make anything taste good - even brussels sprouts. I made this quilt for him probably two years ago but never quilted it. Yesterday I decided I needed to work on unfinished quilt tops. This was the smallest and probably the oldest finished quilt top. I even had the batting and backing already prepared and sitting with it. I just had to decide what color thread to quilt it with. I chose gray. I still need to bind it. I had extra of the border fabric at one point, but it got pulled into another quilt. So I need to find something else that will blend well with the quilt and get that done. I really like it. It is very small. It is only 18" x 24" - a nice wall hanging for his kitchen.<br />
<br />
I got the pattern from our guild's "free" table one evening. It is from Mount Redoubt Designs called Le Chef. It has several other applique patterns in the book I may try. I am glad I made this one. It turned out great.<br />

There were a lot of quilts submitted from people that reside in Japan. At first glance you would think this one was given the theme of the paneled quilt. It was made by Karen Turnbull from Laguna Niguel California. She named it Red Temples. I love how she hooked the three panels together with a pagoda style beam at the top.<br />

Here is The Woman by Kyoko Ochiai from Ota Tokyo Japan. Reminds me of 1950/60's women styles you would see in advertising. I really like the design.<br />

I was alone at the show. The thought I had when I saw this quilt and would have shared if there had been someone there to share my thoughts with would have been, "Here is a quilt design I would never make but would love to have in my home." I am not a blue person but I can overlook that with the colors that are throughout this quilt. It is called Supernova and made by the Annapolis Quilt Guild of Annapolis Maryland.<br />

Gladiolas (I think). I am not a flower person but I think that is what these are. Whatever they are I would love to have them growing in my garden. It is called In the Height of Summer and made by Hatsue Abe and 10 Friends from Setagaya Tokyo Japan.<br />

Flamingos always make me smile. I love these multicolored flamingos. How sweet they are. It was made by Kazue Kamura and 10 Friends from Setagaya Tokyo Japan. It is entitled Family of Rainbow-Colored Flamingo.<br />

Those of you who know me know that I love Halloween! I love Halloween quilts more than any other. The quilt above and the close up below is not one of my most favorite Halloween quilts, but it is a charming one. I love how the quilter added three dimensional items to the quilt, as you can see in the block below. Halloween Party was made by Noriko Nishikawa and 11 Friends from Setagaya Tokyo Japan.<br />

Some quilts just do not photograph as nicely as they display in reality. The above quilt is one of those. This quilt is truly stunning. The colors work well together. Yet not so much in the photograph. It was made by Tomoko Takauchi and 15 Friends from Setagaya Tokyo Japan. They call it A Bouquet. Click to enlarge to see the quilting on it. It looks like each block was quilted in and of itself. Since it was a quilt made by multiple people, perhaps each quilter quilted their own block. It works nicely though.<br />

International Sun Bonnet Sue. My daughter has this pattern. I have looked at it several times and thought I would like to make a version of it. There are so many Sun Bonnet Sue's in the pattern book, you have to choose which ones to make. Otherwise the quilt would cover three beds easily. As you can see the Sues are small but each one is so charming in and of itself. I love how the quilter included the nationality of the Sue and the maker of the block in the two blocks at the bottom middle of the quilt. This was an international Sun Bonnet Sue Swap quilt. What fun that must have been to receive the different blocks in the mail. This was put together by Vicki's Friends Pszczyna Poland. <br />

The above two pictures represent a quilt called Vintage Blocks -- Tossed But Not Forgotten. As quilters we often have what I call orphan blocks. They are blocks that we made but they didn't work into the quilt that they were planned for or we made too many or it was too small or whatever the reason they just sit around by themselves. I love how this quilter put them together into a quilt. Best of all I love how they were quilted. Look at the top picture up close - click it to see even better. The quilter is Jane V Cole and Quilters from Waynesville North Carolina.<br />
<br />
This has been fun going through these quilts. It has made me want to work on more of my quilts. I have so many unfinished quilts and quilt kits and patterns I have purchased, some with fabric and some without. I just need to get something out and work on it or at least finish one. Maybe I will go do that now.<br />
<br />
I will post more Paducah quilts at another time. Thanks for looking.<br />

I am going to post them as I edit them since I took close to 600 photos my week in Paducah and traveling around Tennessee and Kentucky.<br />
<br />
One of the cautions about taking photos at the quilt show was that if we posted them on the internet, we should give credit to the creator of each quilt. I will do that to the best of my ability here. Know also I did not take a picture of every quilt there. There were so many of them.<br />
<br />
My first day at the quilt show I went directly into the main exhibit hall to see the quilts. As that day and the next went on, I found there were two more exhibit halls in that building and another building a little ways away that had even more. Oh my goodness.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The first quilt I saw in the main exhibit hall is the horse quilt above. I know I am going to use the same descriptive words over and over as I tell about the quilts I saw. This quilt was amazing! Even as I look at the pictures I am amazed it is a quilt. It was made by Laurie Britt from Bakersfield CA. To take all these pictures, I used our Nikon camera. I was so impressed by this quilt and the next one, I wanted to share them immediately. I also took pictures of them with my phone so I could text them to different people right way. My daughter is a horse person. I sent this to her. She immediately texted me back asking me to bring it home to her. "Yeah sure." Someone might notice me taking a quilt down and walking out with it, especially since it is the first display you see as you walk in. She is a quilter, too, so I told her to just make one of her own. Her answer back to me was the same I had given her, "Yeah, sure!"<br />
<br />

The quilt above was made by Hiroko Miyama and Masanobu Miyama from Chofu Tokyo Japan. The title is Duck Face. It is a lovely quilt. The child looks angelic. The dog looks somewhat like my son's dog, Dexter. It was hanging in the same display as the horse quilt. These two quilts started my jaw dropping excursion through the quilts.<br />

It is really a cute quilt. I was alone when I took the pictures. I should take one showing the whole quilt. She has a ukulele and flip-flops and other applique. Love it.<br />
<br />
I used a quilt design that looks like water. Seemed appropriate. It is a design we practiced at the long arm quilting class I took while at Paducah. <br />

Those of you that have seen my posts on quilt shows before know that I
always gravitate towards Halloween. I have more Halloween themed quilts
than any other. I make no less than one a year. Much of my fabric is
Halloween colors and designs. I look for Halloween ideas. I love this
one.<br />

On Pinterest you see lots of garden items made out of tea cups or tea pots and placed on posts to put food or water out for birds. Here is the theme done in quilting. So cute.<br />

The above is the guild's Opportunity Quilt. Each block is made using the exact same pattern but with different fabrics. This really shows off what happens with just changing the fabrics. Lovely quilt. The theme was Fruits of our Love and Labor. The center block is a bunch of cherries and the border and backing are cherry fabrics, too. Then each of the volunteers at the show were wearing a name tag with cherries attached to them. I loved the theme running throughout the show that way.<br />
<br />
I bought tickets for this quilt and waited by my phone Sunday afternoon for the call that I won the quilt. The call never came. Darn. I really love this quilt.<br />

The above quilt is a huge quilt. The quilting (which doesn't show up well in the picture) is of sea shells and star fish. Below is a close up of the fishing vessel coming into port.<br />

More of the challenge fabric. I think instead of fabric, they were given the flowers. The flowers are in every item.<br />

As we walked out of the building that had the quilts on display, we came across this peaceful Koi pond with the old mining cart sitting next to it. I have to admit the Auburn Fairgrounds is a great place for a quilt show. Lots of walking between the buildings, but that helps narrow down the amount of people in any one building. It was a very successful show. I am glad Venita and I went.<br />

It is great fun. Since we are a non-profit, we cannot bid using money. Someone came up with a way to earn points and use our points for bidding. To determine our points, they hand out a sheet at the beginning of our monthly evening meeting. On this sheet are different statements with points attached. If you accomplished the statement, you were allowed to claim however many points that are listed for that statement. Such as "I prayed this morning - 5 points." Or "I made my bed today - 2 points." They have about 50 statements to answer. After claiming the points for each statement, we add up how many points we can use. Usually they add up to between 400 and 500 points. You can not "bet" more than the points you have and you have to subtract points if you "buy" something with them.<br />
<br />
This year I was top bidder for a box of pens that someone had decorated AND a group of handmade greeting cards, which I gave to my mom. She loves to write notes and send birthday greetings to everyone she knows. When all was said and done I still had over 100 points to use.<br />
<br />
There were other things available to bid on. One is a lemon chiffon cake one of the church members offers up. I won it last year. She will make it whenever you ask her to as long as you give her 24 hours. Oh my gosh that cake is good. We have a couple of massage therapists. They always offer up a massage. Same with a hair stylist offering her services. Some people make sweets or blankets or quilts or other things and those items go home that evening with the successful bidders.<br />
<br />
This year I didn't have anything ready to take that night, which I how I prefer to offer my "service." So I typed up a sheet that I would be willing to make a quilt that would be approximately 45" x 60" in the color of their choice. I put a caveat on it that it wouldn't be made until the end of January at the earliest. This activity was held the first Tuesday of December. I didn't want someone wanting to give the quilt as a Christmas present. The lady that won the bidding on the quilt was my previous visiting teacher. She has been to my home many times and knows the quality of work I do. She saved up all her points and used every last one to win this auction item. She was so excited to get it.<br />
<br />
She asked it to be in blues and yellows. She has someone in her family that is expecting a baby boy. So I couldn't make it with lots of flowers and fancy designs. I spent about an hour at Beverly's yesterday going through their fabrics coming up with the color combination I liked. I had considered taking the winner with me and letting her choose the fabrics, but I was there and wanted to get started on it. Sorry. It became my choice. I hope she likes it.<br />
<br />
I bought 1/3 yard of nine fabrics. I cut each one into four 10" squares. I will now sew the squares into four large nine patch blocks with the white square in each block.<br />
<br />

Other than the white being in each center, I want the blocks to be random in how the colors are placed. I learned a long time ago with quilting that if you want things to be random, you better plan it somewhat. So I took each fabric and attached it to a paper and assigned a number and a color crayon to it. Then I drew out my nine patch blocks times four and randomly colored each block in. Later I will sit down and sew the blocks together using the "randomly" selected guide.<br />

<br />
After sewing the blocks together into four separate nine patch blocks, I will cut each one in half and then in half again. And then they will be sewn back together again in some pattern that strikes me at the time.<br />
<br />
I like this pattern. I learned it while I attended a class hosted by Meissner's Sewing Center here in Sacramento in 2014 and featuring Eleanor Burns. It is relatively easy but makes the quilt look like you did a lot of piecing. It is a great way to show off beautiful fabric because most of the blocks stay in relatively large pieces.<br />
<br />
I will share the finished quilt when I get it all put together.<br />

We get together and share fabrics and ideas on what works and how to do the individual blocks to this pattern. There are only four blocks, but they are big blocks. They finish out at 18 1/2 inches each. These are my four.<br />

<br />
The pattern calls for a row above and a row below of teacups. I am not going to do that. I am going to put a small inner border and then a larger outer border on it probably with big flowers. Or I will do the border the pattern suggests. I have not decided for sure yet.<br />
<br />
I really like how the blocks came together. I wasn't sure how I would like the mismatched corner triangles, but that is what the pattern showed. Now they are done, it has grown on me.<br />
<br />
Here is a copy of the pattern:<br />

<br />
Hmmm. I don't know. Maybe the teacups need to be there. I do like the flowers on the outer border.<br />
<br />
It has been a fun pattern to work on. Most of the fabric came from my stash, which is always nice to use since I have so much of it.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned. I will eventually finish this quilt and even get it quilted. I will post the pictures of the finished quilt when that happens.<br />

My last post was just after the River City Quilt Guild show in November!!!! Whatever happened to my goal of trying to post no less than weekly? Hmm. Plans often go astray.<br />
<br />
In all honesty, I worked really hard to get everything I was submitting to the guild to be ready that by the time the show came and went I was tired of material, sewing, quilting and everything that goes with it. Though I did take time to quilt some quilts on the long arm for customers. But that is different. It wasn't a choice.<br />
<br />
Here it is at the end of January and I am just getting back into sewing every day. I try to quilt on the long arm at least three days out of the week. I have only done two this week and I don't see me doing any more this week. Which means next week I have to do four. It is not like I don't have them to do for sure!<br />
<br />
I took a class at Meissner's in December on using templates with the long arm. I was intrigued and bought three templates. Then I had to get the table extender for the machine. I was going to purchase one when I found out we had one. It just had to be located, which took a while since we were busy with Christmas, life, school and everything else that hits in December. Finally I got it the week after Christmas and it sat for three weeks while I just looked at it - afraid to try something new. At the beginning of this week, I put a Community Service quilt on the machine and decided this would be the day to try out the new templates. The first one was using the circles I purchased. I love this template because it has like 10 different sized circles to use. I used the biggest one and then went in three and used the next one and then went in three more and used the next one. So it looked like a circle within a circle within another circle. I could have gone one more, but didn't because that looked too small to get around. I will try it some day. Anyway it turned out pretty cool looking.<br />

<br />
The quilt had some applique to it. One of the template I bought is one that fits over the hopping foot of the long arm. It is made to hold on to the hopping foot and guide it more smoothly around appliques and such. Oh how I love that template. I do a lot of applique and can never quilt nicely around the designs and am always disappointed with how the quilting looks. I like this though I wish I would have had this when I did my sister, Anne's quilt. It would have looked a lot better than it did.<br />

Last year a member of the guild challenged me to enter some this year. Here are my quilts. I must say it was a thrill to walk around the corner and see one of my quilts hanging next to other quilts. I was totally amazed at how beautiful it was. When you work on quilts, you work up close and you know all the mistakes made and choices of fabrics that could have been better. But when you see them hanging up so proudly next to other beautiful quilts, you realize you did good and should be proud. I am.<br />

The above quilt was finished after taking a class the guild offered. We were not shown a sample of what we would be making. We were told to bring coordinating fabrics and black. I chose fabric I had from a line of Timeless Treasures called Wildflower Rhapsody. It all blends well. I wouldn't have put the black squares in had I know how it would all turn out. Other than that I really like this quilt. It often hangs on the wall in my house. It was the first time I had used Eleanor Burns flying geese rulers and loved that the points came out perfect - not something I had done before. Thanks Eleanor!<br />

The above quilts was made from a book I purchased at the guild. It was such an easy quilt to make even though it is a queen sized quilt. The trick I found to keep all the colors in the right place was to draw out a quick sketch of what went where, colored it and then put swatches of the fabrics next to a legend of the colors in the sketch. I am amazed at the colors I chose for this quilt. I am usually much more subdued in my choices. I had purchased the star fabrics at an African shop in Fort Bragg California when we were there several years ago. I wanted to make something with them but just didn't have a clue what. When I saw this pattern, I knew they would work well. Those fabrics were hand dyed fat quarters that were made in Africa. The texture of them is much thicker than the rest of the batiks throughout the quilt. I love this so much that I hope it gives me the freedom to try other bright colors.<br />

Using the same pattern as the African Batik one, I made this quilt. Again I had a package of fat quarters that I just didn't know what to do with. I used the same technique of drawing out the pattern and coloring in what color went where. This quilt is a king sized quilt. It has a black backing. I am not a purple kind of person, but I think this will be on my bed after it comes back from the show.<br />

Earlier this year Barbara Olson came to our guild from Billings Montana to give a presentation and then offered two classes after that. I took both classes - the above Castles class and another one that involved a lot of spirals. I have not finished that quilt and may never. It was difficult. I loved doing this castle class. When I got the castle with the flying dragon on it finished, I just didn't know what to do to next. I knew it needed something to really highlight the castle. I found the purple inner border at Beverly's Fabrics in Citrus Heights and fell in love with it. Still I felt it needed something more, so on to make those paper pieced points. Wow! What a job that was. I love how it all turned out, though. It was worth all the cussing and crying and wondering what in the world I was doing along with the ripping out stitches over and over again. I am really proud of how it turned out.<br />

The above quilt was made a couple of years ago for my granddaughter, Faith. She has done tumbling and cheer leading since she was tiny and is very good at it. The blocks were cut using a tumbler design from Missouri Quilt Company that I bought on a whim because it was a super buy on their website. The purples are from a layer cake that I had acquired some time ago accompanied with a purple fabric that I had that was part of the Wildflower Rhapsody fabric I had left overs of. When I was all done making the quilt top, I felt it needed something more. I felt a flower would add pizzazz to it. I appliqued the petals and then came up with the big center. This quilt will never be a comfortable quilt to lay on, but I think it turned out beautiful. Faith seems to like it, too. I had to borrow it back from her to enter into the show.<br />

The guild each year distributes two pieces of fabric for a challenge project. We can make anything we want, but the fabric has to be displayed prominently. This "Stuff Who" quilt was my submission to that contest. I didn't win, but I love the quilt.<br />
<br />
I took a lot more pictures of the guild's show. I don't like to post those pictures before the show is over. So come Monday or Tuesday, I will put them on the blog for all to see. There were some beautiful quilts there.<br />

Someone asked me last year why I never submit quilts to our show. So this year I submitted six quilts. Two to be judged. Four just for display. I also entered seven quilts for the silent auction. I hope they all sell. I entered ten silent auction quilts and sold all but one. But I priced them dirt cheap. These are priced low but not cheap. We will see.<br />
<br />
I am the guild's historian. I went over yesterday to turn in my quilts and took pictures before set up began.<br />

Racks are going up. Quilts were starting to be put out on tables. A special kudos to David Carter, who lays all this out. This year was a challenge for him. The guild had over 300 quilts entered into the show.<br />
<br />
It is going to be a great show. If you can come by and see it. The show runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Sunday it closes at 4 p.m. It is held at the Scottish Rites Center at 6151 H Street Sacramento CA. Parking is free and they have a huge parking lot for us. Entry is only $7.<br />

Our quilt guild, the River City Quilt Guild in Sacramento, is getting ready for their annual show. I have submitted some quilts that I had to finish or sew hanging sleeves on the back of. I still have three more sleeves to sew. I also participate in our Country Store at the show. I have been going through my stash and deciding what fabric and patterns I am willing to part with. Some of the fabric I have had since I closed my shop down five years ago. I think it is time to say goodbye. If I were going to use it, I would have. So I have been pricing all that and now need to tag it all. The show is next week afterall! Yipes. I have to get busy. I will post pictures when I am done.<br />
<br />
Oh and to those of you who follow Beehive Quilts on Facebook, I cannot get into it. Facebook as determined I am a business and cannot have a stand alone Facebook account. They said I had to link it to my personal account. I tried to do that and it doesn't work. So if you are trying to contact me through that Facebook page, I am not seeing it as I am locked out of it. I am trying to work with Facebook about this, but they are hard to work with as they want me to just do what they say and don't have contact info anywhere on their site. I will keep trying.<br />
<br />
You can always contact me here or at my e-mail at contact@beehivequilts.com.<br />

<br />
Here is my 2015 Halloween quilt. Finished it last week. It is now hanging on my living room wall.<br />

I had purchased a panel of Halloween design a couple of years ago. This is the quilt that contains that panel. I put it together in 2014 and even quilted it myself. My sister, Anne, came to visit that same year and liked it so much she took it home. It came back to me this year. I sewing a label on it and now it is in the mail heading back to Anne.<br />
<br />
I love Halloween quilts! I love the colors. I love the designs of the fabrics that come out. Enjoy, Anne.<br />

Dan and Martha were up from southern California over last weekend. We presented their quilt to them all quilted, bound and ready for use. This quilt started as an idea after going to a quilt guild meeting where Peggy Gilbrich came and gave a lecture on History of Signature Quilts. She had many samples there and several of the guild members brought their signature quilts to show to us. I thought what a great way to memorialize an event, such as a wedding. Next time I talked with Dan and Martha, I offered to do this for them. They agreed.<br />
<br />
That was in March. Their wedding was scheduled for May 30th. I started making signature blocks galore. I made over 400 of them knowing that was way more than needed. I wanted the attendees to be able to start over if mistakes were made. In that number I also cut 5 inch square white blocks for them to draw a picture if they wanted. Some of the pictures were quite detailed. Some chose to write verse. The kids loved that part and drew many pictures. All were incorporated into the quilt. Some were really creative. Some were especially endearing.<br />
<br />
Here is Dan and Martha reading a specific block:<br />

Oh and Lorena and Elisa photo bombing the picture. They were our hangers. Thanks girls. Love you got into, too. Usually we only see their feet or their fingers.<br />

This picture shows the blocks I made for the signature. The blocks that have three fabrics - a color, a white and another color - were the signature blocks. The white 5" blocks was where they could sign, draw or be as creative as they wanted to be.<br />
<br />
It was fun to make. It was also the most pieced quilt I ever made. I wanted it to be big enough for them to use on a bed if they wanted to. It wound up to be 94" x 98".<br />
<br />
A special thank you to Martha's good friends who manned the signature table and provided the baskets to keep them in and the pens to write with. I really needed that assistance. I am glad you were there and so ready to assist. One was Janice Lawver.<br />
<br />
Here is the picture I included on the signature block I put on the back of the quilt. I usually sign my name, too. I forgot on this one. I guess they know who I am without it. I liked it because instead of a traditional cake, they had cupcakes. They were YUMMY!<br />

What a great wedding. To Dan and Martha, sorry it took me so long to finished the quilt. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to make it. It was really made with love.<br />
