Primitive Peels

 

I'm honored to have my Primitive Peels quilt published in the 2015 Fall issue of the

Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine.

 

I used classic Brannock and Patek fabrics for the appliqued peels. 

I used the needle turn applique method to applique the peels.

 The background is a Moda woven black pinstripe. 

Hand quilted with black thread using the big stitch.

 

A beautiful cover photo of Sue Spargo's Pot of Blooms.

Primitive Crosses

 

This is my quilt, Crossroads, in the Spring issue of Primitives Quilts and Projects magazine.  The crosses are hand appliqued using the raw edge applique method.  The quilt is hand quilted using the big stitch.

 

Thankfully, I had the quilt finished and mailed off to the magazine right before I broke my leg.

Rhapsody in White

I have my wool mat back from the Prim magazine.  I needed a photo for my journal and an outside photo shows off the wools and whites so well.

Such sadness at the loss of the firefighters in Arizona, so very tragic.  I hope they can contain the fires soon without further loss of life or property damage.

A View From My Window and a Winner

A view from my kitchen window, some elk have come down to graze after a snow storm.  They look a little rough, shedding their winter coats,

They hear something.

Using the random generator, the winner of the Primitive Quilts magazine is

Lori of Humble Quilts.  Please email your address to me and I will get in the mail.

My Wool Mat in the Prim Magazine

 A peek of my wool mat in the Summer issue of the Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine.  Wool applique on a white wool background.  Some of the applique is stitched and some are couched using strips of wool.  You'll need the mag to see.

Lots of wonderful projects, I especially like a wool wallhanging called Autumn All Around by Tonee White. 

I have an extra copy of this issue, be a follower and leave me a comment that you would like to win and I will pick a winner in the next few days.

I Have My Quilt Back

I needed a picture of it to put in my quilt journal.  I wanted to take the photo outside, too bad I don't have snow.  I would have liked that look better.  You can see my quilt, Montana Majesty, and some of the other projects in the Primitive Quilts magazine on their new and improved website.  Free projects to download and of course get your subscription to the magazine if you don't have it already.

My copy of the Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine arrived.

A wonderful issue full of primitive and folk art projects for all us quilters.

Sharing the picture of my quilt, Montana Majesty, from the magazine's Facebook page that is in this Spring issue of the magazine.

Did you go look?

I'm tickled.

The Prim Mag and Out and About

The table of contents from the Primitive Quilts and Projects Magazine, lots of Winter and Christmas prim projects to choose from. 

I think I can see a red roof in all those trees, belongs to me.

Changing colors along the Yellowstone River.

Primitive Quilts & Projects Magazine

Did you all get your magazine in the mail yet?  Lots of fall projects to take the edge off the summer heat.  I found several designers who I had never heard of in the magazine.  One of my favorite designs is called Chocolate Bonbons, a pot of flowers appliqued on a rich chocolate background fabric, by Kay Harmon.

You can see the magazine is laying on Star Burst and I started the hand quilting with crochet cotton and the big stitch.

Oh Boy!

Slight glee at finishing the embellishment on these two blocks from Imperial Blooms, I told you there were a zillion stitches to add.   A few changes to suit me.  I can start sewing those blocks together.

A real thrill, the wool mat I had worked on and posted about months ago, I had submitted it to a mag, received a call this morning, must say it's very nice to talk to the real person behind a computer screen, especially when they end up sounding as nice in person.  Anyway, accepted to be published in the Prim mag.  I've named it Winter Whites.  A good start to the week.  Oh boy!

Purses and a Pic from the Prim Mag, Oh and Cats

I made more purses the other day, the pink one you've seen, at this rate, I'll have my Christmas shopping done or maybe a gift for a friend for Mother's Day.

A look at the table of contents from the Prim Magazine, I especially like the spool quilt.  I've been wanting to make a really large spool quilt, as in, the spools are huge, not the quilt.

Bailey and Sidney, love seeing them sleeping together.

One Lone Coneflower and Word Verification

A little peek of a wonderful wool applique design from Jan Goos in the latest issue of Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine.  I really love her style.

I came back to add this note after reading Lori of Humble Quilts post about the changes in word verification when one leaves a comment.  I think I noticed it yesterday and thought it was me, always tend to think that when it's computer related.  Who can read those letters, even with good eyesight.  So, as some are doing, will go without that nonsense of making sure you are not a robot.

Thank You Cheri

I didn't renew my subscription to the Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine in time to receive the Spring issue.  Thought, I can do without that copy.  Thought I could.  Then I saw some of the projects online.  What to do.  Order just that copy.   I can do without.  Thought that for days.  And days.  Then I read on Cheri's blog that she has some extra copies and she's giving those away.  I won.  I never win.  It came today in the mail, only because I drove 40 miles to the box, it might have been there for a week, anyway, a pic of Cheri's basket quilt, easy instructions, very prim and aged.  Another great issue.

My Maggie's Purse in Progress

One side of the my Maggie purse finished, love this color of wool and the multi colored embellishment threads.  I just happen to have that big vintage button with just the right color on hand to add to it.

Start of another Maggie Purse and a View from my Window

The start of another Maggie purse from the Primitive Quilt magazine, love this wool, can't describe the color, like a brownish pink.  Happen to have some great embellishment threads and then will find some stash wools for the stems and leaves.

A view from my window, can sit at the computer and this is what I see.  A couple of inches of snow last night. 

The Red Purse

To add straps or not?
