WOW - the 28th of June! Where did this month go??? Let's see . . . I got the quilts delivered for Slave Lake, took a few Long Arm classes in Edmonton, spent a week in Kimberley with the grandkids, and have three more quilts to show you.
But first, a little story to share regarding the quilts for Slave Lake. A facebook friend of mine, who also happens to be a childhood friend that I haven't seen for probably 35 years, saw the Quilts for Slave Lake posting on Facebook. A family member was one of the unfortunate people who lost their home in the fires, but more to the point, she lost a pink and white quilt that her grandmother made for her over 25 years ago. They contacted me and asked if they could possibly receive one of my quilts, and I couldn't see why not. So, now the beautiful pink and white quilt that Susan donated, is hers. I think that's a great story . . . . don't you?
OK, on to more quilts from Little House . . . .

Here's pictures of Judy's Crazy Quilt. It's pieced in nice warm flannels, and I quilted it using "Surf's Up" panto by David Hudson. Glide thread top and bobbin.

Judy made another quilt out of the same flannel fabric. This pattern is calledTurning Twenty - meaning it's made of twenty fat quarters. I quilted it with Glide thread and "Starburst" panto by Patricia Ritter. I don't know which one is my favorite - they'd both be so inviting on a cool evening with a good book or perhaps a glass of red wine ;) !

.... and one more quilt to show you . . . This one is a lap quilt using the "Disappearing Nine Patch" pattern. I quilted it with Glide thread and Ebb and Flow panto from Willow Leaf Studios.

All of these quilts are warm looking, aren't they? Next time I will have some wilder colors for you to see - I promise. Here's a sneak peek . . .
The weather has finally turned for the better, so I may have to spend more time outside than in, but I still have lots of work to do! The quilts are piling up at Little House - and that's great!! Until next time, enjoy your Canada Day celebrations and I look forward to posting some great July quilts from the Little House.
