Gallant XL

 

I hope I have not lost my mind. But here it is my project for the past 3 days. 

SO many little screws to tight. This is a puzzle in steroids. 

Now for the hard part: figure out the software.

And find a place for most of these boxes in case I need to pack it.

Amazing border

I love the border on this quilt. It adds to the whimsy of the top.

Not my quilt. Unfortunately, I don't have the name of the quilter.

Learn to Quilt Booth 2025

The Quilt Guild of Greater Houston has a booth at Quilt Festival every year. 

Anyone can come and learn the basic skills needed to quilt. 

Very talented members volunteer to teach from hand to machine skills needed to complete a quilt. 

Anyone can sit and make a pot holder totally free.

I have lent my 3 quilts to decorate the area. I chose applique, machine piecing, and English paper piecing quilts that could give an idea of the different techniques in quilting.

 I really hoped that it would inspire someone to think "I can do that!"

Brasilidade 2

 The 2025  International Quilt Festival is happening this October weekend in Houston, Texas. Among the most amazing displays of this art form are some quilts from Brazil. This one specially touches my heart. This scene is part of my young self history.

Quilt of Valor blocks

I belong to a very active Bee and Guild. 

2026 will be the Golden Jubilee for the Quilt Guild of the Greater Houston. As part of the celebration, the guild has a goal to make and give 50 quilts to Quilts of Valor with the goal to also honor about 25 women that has served this country. 

My Bee is planning on making 1 or 2 quilts for this event. We each are making 4- 12 inches star blocks. It can be 4 6 inches block in place of 1 12 inches. But the goal is to have enough blocks. We are using the red/white/blue color scheme and the start is of our choice.

Those are the 4 ones I have made. I am sure these quilts will be wonderful. I am part of a talented group and we are very dedicated to quilting for others.
