I started this quilt in Tucson at least six months before we moved. I started the applique sections and pretty much finished them, then I had to give up and pack it away as we prepared for the move. Of course, moving in was as time-consuming and difficult once we got here, and I didn't drag the quilt out to work on it till months after our arrival. I did the herringbone piecing sections, then added borders to make it a Queen size. But, now I had a problem...it is so big I knew I needed a good big table and some help to get the quilt sandwiched and ready for quilting, and this took me a few months to finally get accomplished. Once it was safety pinned to the batting and backing, I was overwhelmed by the aspect of quilting it on my machine, but I started slowly. Finally I finished quilting the center sections (not without some problems), and was able to start quilting the herringbone sections, which was a breeze. But once I started working on free-motion quilting on the borders, I started having problems with my thread feed. That was a battle! I took the machine to the shop and had it cleaned, oiled and adjusted (another two month wait) and then went at it again. Overall, what I had wanted to give my grandson over a year ago, he will finally receive....better late than never! :-) I'm glad it's done! He has seen it, and loves it, so that makes me happy!<br />

I was happy to share the Goldie Richmond Quilt exhibit with her! Goldie was the owner of a Trading Post in Sells, AZ near the Tohono O'Odham Reservation back in the 20s to 40s. She hand-appliqued and quilted quilts while she waited for customers. Most of her work represents life on the Reservation at that time, and are wonderful charming works. She also appliqued floral designs. Only about ten of her quilts have survived.<br />

I would love to make a Goldie Richmond homage quilt at some time...with my own scenes inspired by hers, of Indian life. There are actually patterns of homage quilts for sale at Cactus Quilt Shop in Tucson, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Cactus-Quilt-Shop-124530987844/">HERE</a>, but I would like to do my own thing. I have no idea WHEN I will get this one made, though! So many quilts, so little time!A Colorful Worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023611014658518661.post-18121640554492010522016-11-15T05:38:00.000-08:002016-11-15T05:38:10.070-08:00Another Quilt ShowTook a break from packing to spend a morning with a dear friend at a quilt show.

It was a wonderful program, with Terri Linn Kygar! Her technique of coloring applique with heated crayons was fascinating and her work beautiful! Paulette bought her book, and I plan to get it later. I love the combination of art techniques and quilting because they are both great loves of mine, so this was right up my alley. A nice send-off from Tucson's amazing Quilt Guild as I soon approach the wonders of quilting (and photography and art) that Oregon has to offer. In fact, Terri Linn is from a town near The Dallas, OR and has taught classes in Sisters, which is an hour from our new house! Perhaps I can catch one of her classes!<br />

This is the Tucson Quilt Guild raffle quilt for 2018...they are designed and made up as you can see well in advance. I already have tickets to hopefully win the 2017 quilt when the show happens in February...that one is pretty Southwestern in style. There seems to be a theme here. :-) But then it breaks away....<br />

A week or so after the Guild Meeting I had to go into Cactus Quilts to get some template plastic, and saw this lovely quilt, so decided I would share it as well.<br />

The template plastic is for my sunflower-bee ornaments, but I have also added a new item to the Etsy shop (to check out my shop, click on the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/goldenjoys?ref=hdr_shop_menu">LINK</a>), a sunflower-bee potholder.<br />

The quilters are so talented, but not "snooty" about it like a guild I once belonged to in Texas. The members recognize that we all represent different stages of expertise (or lack thereof). We do a lot of quilting for charities, and our quilt show is amazing. There are always incredible speakers at the meetings. This past Wednesday we had the pleasure of seeing a presentation by Rita Verroca. She is a German lady who moved here thirty years ago and discovered quilting. It is a uniquely American art form, and she encourages those who quilt to follow the traditions of hand piecing, quilting and appliqueing, if possible. All her quilts are done in this way, and they are incredible! And she seemed like the most personable, fascinating lady! Wow...what a meeting! Here is a <a href="http://www.ritaverrocaquilts.com/">LINK</a> to her website. <br />

This next quilt was called My Fairy Trail. Rita told that she and her husband were watching the movie <em>The Tall Man</em> with Clark Gable and Jane Russell and she said Jane Russell carried a coverlet with her through most of the movie, and she fell in love with it. It became the inspiration for this gorgeous quilt...<br />

Wonderful source of inspiration and info! Loved her presentation! Unfortunately we sat too far back to get good shots of her quilts as they were held up (none were hanging) so I got "partial" photos of them laying on a table surrounded by dozens of members at the end. So...I will also include a few full-quilt shots taken from her website so you can see the entire quilt.<br />

And to bring us all back to the ordinary....:-) Here are my two latest finishes. A lap robe for the nursing home, and a baby quilt, made partially with gingham squares given to me by my Aunt when she stopped quilting. I used trapunto on the hearts for the first time in this quilt also....<br />

She shared some of her amazing art quilts with us and her inspiring story. It was one of the most wonderful presentations we have ever had. Her personal journey was one we could all relate to in some way, with frightening cancer diagnoses, exasperating teenager struggles, personal losses. She began to realize that some of her quilts were compelling her to create them...taking on a life of their own as she expressed what was in her heart and soul. Here are some of the pictures I took Wednesday of her work....<br />

Vikki loves trees, which is one of my favorite motifs too. Many of her spiritual themes were so wonderful! So inspiring. She felt compelled to start a show for quilters who were expressing their personal journeys with joy, pain, suffering, care-giving, Christian growth, elation and other things and started this in 1999...it is called Sacred Threads and is located now in Herndon, Virginia. Each quilters' moving story is part of the show, and there are boxes of Kleenex located throughout the room, where 350 quilts are on display. The need for the show is definitely something that had to be addressed! Vikki says it was not her vision, but one that God lay on her heart, and it came to fruition in a big way and has touched so many people since its inception. I looked it up....check it out at this <a href="http://sacredthreadsquilts.com/">LINK</a>. Be sure to look at the video!<br />
<br />
Visit Vikki's website, and be sure to check out her Gallery of quilts. Find the website <a href="http://vikkipignatelli.com/">HERE</a>.<br />

I was so happy Vikki came to speak to us at the Guild. This was such a meaningful meeting!A Colorful Worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023611014658518661.post-5176624036032734152016-02-09T18:24:00.001-08:002016-02-09T18:24:55.979-08:00Viet Nam Wall HangingQuite a while ago I had thought about making my husband a lap throw representing his Army days, but he also served in the Air Force, and has a desire for a War Between the States lap throw as well. It was just too many lap throws! So I decided to make two wall hangings to represent his service time...this is the first one, just completed. It commemorates his time in Viet Nam in 1970-71 where he served in Chu Lai as a helicopter door gunner for Nighthawk (under Blue Ghost, F Troop, 8th Cavalry). I happened to find an authentic piece of camouflaged fabric (the real stuff!) in our things...why we had it, I have no idea. It was perfect for this project! I's about 3 1/2 feet by 3 3/4 feet. I recreated some of his photos onto fabric and appliqued most of the wall hanging, adding his patches.<br />

Slow, slow, slow! :-) But I finally get things done. When our nephew and his wife announced they were headed to the wife's kids for Christmas and New Year and wouldn't be home till Jan 6th, I realized I could send their Christmas gift late. I hadn't gotten it done in time to mail it before then. Our nephew used to live in Alaska, and would send me pictures of bears he came across. I've never met his wife (they live in CA) but had been told she loves owls. So, this is the set of placemats I made:<br />

The bear and owl are done with my own version of "thread painting"...a combo of applique and thread painting that I am enjoying lately.<br />
<br />
Before Christmas also we heard that a dear friend back in Virginia had had another stroke (her third) and was in rehab. I decided to make her a bed jacket. It isn't much for someone who has done so much for us, but I wanted to send her something. She loves Japanese motif since she lived there for several years, and I had some 5" squares with Asian designs on them, plus found some beautiful screen printed panels (the larger rectangle you see below is one) that I bought from etsy and wanted to use:<br />

It's always wonderful! But, this month's meeting was great, as always....our speaker was Rose Hughes (her website can be found <a href="http://rosehughes.com/">HERE</a>). Her presentation was fascinating, but before I go there, let me share a few of the "show & tell" items and a couple of views of our wonderful raffle quilt for the 2016 Tucson Quilt Fiesta on February 19,20 and 21! (To check out our website about the show, click <a href="http://www.tucsonquiltersguild.com/quiltshow.htm">HERE</a>)<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">She talked about our fear of color, and about the need for help in choosing color for our quilts that work perfectly. I have always had somewhat of a knack for choosing colors, but I know that is a stumbling block for a lot of people. We particularly have issues with analgous colors (those that touch each other on the wheel and are similar) and complimentary colors (opposites on the wheel). It was a fascinating presentation.</span><br />

<br />
My mother is a quilter. My grandmother was a quilter, and every aunt and great-aunt and my two great-grandmothers and on back through my lineage. It was fore-ordained that I would quilt. The days of the quilting joys of my grandmother and great-grandmothers were born of necessity. The quilts were used to warm their families against the winter cold, and were worn out after years of faithful use. Not many of them survived. They were made of scraps of clothing and of feed and flour sacks. Nothing was wasted. The batting was often hand-carded cotton. Women's work was truly never done in those early days, and they went to bed to sleep under their hand made quilts, bone tired from the long days. When the quilting was to be done, a group of women would gather around a frame suspended from the ceiling, to do hand quilting and visit. My mother sat under that suspended frame as a child and watched the needles go in and out, snaking across in long lines of loving handwork....it was the perfect fort.<br />
<br />
Mom took me to the quilt shop to buy my first fabric for my quilt. It was the early 80s and life had progressed to templates, and purchased fabric to be cut up into shapes, and sewing machines to put it all back together. The rotary cutter was new also and soon became the norm. Prices started soaring for expensive cotton fabrics needed to make heirlooms that would last for generations. But, as I began to learn the techniques involved in piecing and creating quilt blocks, I also wished to pay homage to my roots...and make an old-fashioned quilt, hand-quilted. My Mom often hand-quilted her quilts back then too, and she tried to teach me, but I just couldn't get the hang of that rocking back and forth motion that was needed. So, as you can see from the photo above, I did my first hand quilting by going IN and OUT! Not the most effective method, but I was comfortable with it.<br />
<br />
What I love about the photo, is that the feed sack fabric the quilt is created from was some of my grandmother's fabric. She was no longer quilting, and she gave me these pieces. The frame was my Mom's....and she soon after gave it to me as she had moved on to using a hoop. I love the feed sack quilt, which unfortunately I have never finished hand quilting (perhaps this is the year!) and I love the quilting frame. Both are treasures! I do my quilting on the machine now, because hand quilting by my archaic method was just too darn slow! But I at least know how to properly hand quilt now. I have made a few quilts, and several wall hangings or other small projects since that day in the 80s when the photo was taken, and I know I will quilt until my hands will no longer hold the needle that I can't see how to thread! When that day comes, I hope I will be happy with all I have accomplished. I know it has given me great joy over these years. After all, how could it not? Me being a quilter was truly fore-ordained.</div>

Wade has SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophe). The drawing was supposed to occur on November 11th, but we wanted Wade's Mommy, Nici, to draw the winning ticket, and Wade was in the hospital all that month. He finally got out two days before Thanksgiving (a blessing!!) and was able to go home. Today we went by the Robinson house and Nici drew the winning ticket.<br />

They do it twice a year, and I've missed the last two. For my first documentation post click <a href="http://quiltsbymarie.blogspot.com/2014/04/tucson-quilt-documentation-project.html">HERE</a>. The quilts are examined, described, their stories documented, and they are put on a national database. A label is also attached to the quilt itself with it's computer database number, and the date it was documented. It's wonderful to have a historical record! They do it all over the country if you are interested in participating:<br />

This beautiful Double Wedding Ring quilt was made by one of my great-aunts (a sister to my great grandmother). It had been purchased by my Mom to help defray medical expenses on another great-aunt who was very ill, and was given last year to my daughter who loved the quilt and asked her grandmother for it.<br />

It was photographed and examined and all the information will be placed in a national database. The quilt was made approximately 1976-1979 (possibly a little earlier or later than that bracket of time) and cotton as well as synthetic fabrics were used, scraps I am sure owned by the maker from clothing items. It is rose, brown & light blue with little touches of other colors on an off-white field. The quilt was completely hand-pieced and hand-quilted. It is treasured.<br />

While there, a lady didn't have her camera with her to take pictures of her quilt so I offered to photograph it for her and send her the shots in an email. She was very happy about my offer! You aren't allowed generally to photograph the other quilts, unless you have permission like I did. I saw many gorgeous quilts in the two hours I was there!<br />

Also, here is my latest finish (just have to do the binding). It's a wall hanging Christmas gift to my sis-in-law who loves baby ducks. I posted this on my regular blog as well. It's pieced and appliqued, with embroidery and fabric paint embellishments:<br />

Of the "One Block" kind and otherwise....the guest speaker for the Tucson Quilt Guild was Maxine Rosenthal who wrote the book One Block Wonders. She is such a hoot! My goodness we enjoyed her talk! Paulette and I attended both the night and morning meetings because we were still selling raffle tickets. See info about that <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6023611014658518661#editor/target=post;postID=3747636101293417275;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=2;src=link">HERE</a>.

She had a lot of others in various color combinations and designs. For images of her wonderful quilts, go <a href="https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=maxine+rosenthal+quilter&qpvt=Maxine+Rosenthal+Quilter&qpvt=Maxine+Rosenthal+Quilter&FORM=IGRE">HERE</a>.<br />
Enjoyed being at both meetings but starting next month we are only going to be attending the morning meetings. Going at night became too difficult! It's mainly for people who work, anyway, and none of us do. There are huge groups at both meetings but I love it!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I enjoy the meetings very much. My friend Paulette from church has been attending with me for well over a year, and now GayNell has also joined us. This month I was able to attend twice (they divide the group into a night meeting, and a day meeting to accommodate everyone) because we were selling raffle tickets for our quilt to help out the Robinsons with their son who has SMA. See post about that <a href="http://quiltsbymarie.blogspot.com/2015/08/something-special.html">HERE</a>. The speaker was Rob Appell of Man Sewing! See his website <a href="http://mansewing.com/">HERE</a>. What a delightful presentation! He is high energy and entertaining, and has so much to share! I was so happy to discover that he is a Christian, whose journey from alcoholism is inspiring, and he too does a great deal of charity work, supporting causes to help the world's endangered species, and supporting returning combat veterans. His enormous Iwo Jima WWII Memorial inspired quilt will be auctioned off soon...the opening bid is $25,000! This one quilt will raise an enormous sum to help the families of these returning veterans. Awesome job, Rob!<br />

And a quilt made by a Vermont Quilt Guild Member, which was sold and the proceeds were sent to women in Africa to help them start a business of bee-keeping. They got $2700. for the quilt! Our Guild was asked to participate in this project, and I made two of the flower squares that were cut down to hexagons for the quilt...Paulette made five, I think. I loved the pattern for the flower and saved it.<br />

And finally, here is another item I made for the Children's Home (see our trip to the Home to take all the quilts and things to the kids on my main blog, <a href="http://daughterm.blogspot.com/2015/09/my-friday-fun.html">HERE</a>) His corn and hat might make him hard to cuddle but I couldn't resist adding those elements. They can strip him back to just his overalls so he will make a good bed buddy....<br />

tickets to benefit a child in our church with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
This is SMA Awareness Month and if you would like to learn more about
this serious, debilitating disease, please click <a href="http://www.smafoundation.org/">HERE</a>. If any of you out there would like to buy
tickets ($1. apiece, or 6 for $5) or give a donation to the family, please let me know! The
quilt is 72"X 70" and is machine pieced and largely hand quilted. We
will be doing the drawing on Veteran's Day and I will post the winner.
The quilt would be great for a special Veteran because of its colors, or
as a Christmas present....or just to keep for yourself! <br />

We received a huge blessing when we took items there before Christmas last year, and will be going again next month. Here is my most recent child's quilt for them:<br />

I also recently made a "play mat" for a child in our church out of the scraps from the quilt above. Wade has SMA and can't use most of the muscles in his body. He is about to turn 2, and cannot sit up on his own, and has limited use of his arms and hands. I thought hanging this in front of him would give him incentive to try to reach and play with the objects and keep his mind stimulated. His mother tells us that he loves Baby Einsteins on an ipad they have. Being a toddler, and not a baby, I geared some of the items to his age level, but this play mat could be adapted to a younger baby and hung on the side of a playpen or crib.<br />

Myra is from Scotland, so I wanted to give "Wee Fair Bairn Emma" a quilt of Scottish fairy tales. It is finally finished! I had everything done in time for Quilt Guild Tuesday night, except tacking down the binding, and I took it for show & tell.<br />

Four of us from church have made a quilt we will be raffling off to raise money to help out the Robinson family, whose small child has a devastating disorder called SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). We four pieced it, and Paulette attached the borders, and is now quilting it by hand....(more on this quilt when it is completely finished):<br />
