This quilt is called Sequoia Sampler by Alex Anderson.  I watched Alex Anderson's show, Simply Quilts every morning for years.  I love this fabric.  I have enough left to make another quilt.  The fabric is called Etchings.  A portion of the proceeds go toward Parkinson's Disease research and care.  I felt that maybe this quilt was a bit too busy.  But overall I like it.

This quilt took 7 months.  It was great for taking a square when I travel.  Hand sewing.  Mostly to Brooklyn, hanging out with the granddaughters. The Pattern is called Prairie Meadow by Lori Holt.  I used Lori Holt fabrics too.  Longarm quilting large quilts like this one is getting harder for me.  I have purchased a much larger longarm which will easily handle large quilts.  Yay!
 

 My trip to Lancaster, Pennsylvania!  Amazing quilt stores.  No chance of visiting quilt stores around here so this was a great opportunity.  Loved seeing all the Amish horse drawn buggies racing through all the traffic, clothes hanging on all the lines, boys and girls on scooters.  Everyone dresses the same.  Enjoyed visiting with the Amish women in the quilt shops.  Several had German or Dutch accents and very friendly.  And I bought lots and lots of fabric!!!

 Star Bright Quilt with my blue scraps.  Camille Roskelley pattern. On the wall is also Camille Roskelley pattern called Swoon Sixteen.  Lots of edge to edge quilting.  

 Whistle Stop Quilt.  Enjoyed piecing it.  I decided to quilt it with my regular sewing machine.  The longarm is loaded with another quilt.  It is not easy to quilt on the regular machine........I had some difficulty.  The longarm is much easier now for me.  

 A Very large quilt.  My new sewing friend Cynde and I each made this quilt.  Took us 9 months.  We did change the design a bit.  We left out the tiny pieces that were in the pattern.  This is a Lori Holt pattern called Calico Garden.  Used Lori Holt fabrics.  She has videos to watch for the construction of each square.  Super fun to make.  

 In my retirement community we started a Quilt group.  Four Season's Quilters.

Meeting once a month in the clubhouse.  10 women have signed up.  Our first gathering was January 4, 2024.  Super fun!  We each brought our own projects.  Some brought machines and some did hand work.  Very fun group of women!
