Quilty Pleasures at Quiltville Inn!

There is a lot of quilty fun happening in the Quilting Quarters at Quiltville Inn this week!

They may be a small group, but they are MIGHTY!

Celeste and her quilting buddies from Haymarket, Virginia are here - and their number totals 6, but let me tell you - they brought enough projects and food for 12, and could last 2 weeks! LOL!

Their small number enables them to spread out and really get some serious sewing done!

Cute little stars -

And cuter packages and presents -

Making the holiday version of this cute table topper by Carried Away Quilts.

Cute and quick hourglass blocks are becoming:

A sweet top with a piano key border!

25-Patch blocks made long ago by mom are turned into trimmed and appliqued circles, sashed with more blocks to become this top - and....

The remaining blocks became this lap quilt with scrappy square sashings!

There are new quilters in the group who are learning all of the beautiful basics! Cute cute Pickleball fabric!

Now just waiting for borders!

A wonderful beginner project.

Another valuable project for beginners - a Rail Fence from a Jelly Roll.  It's a wonderful way to learn about cutting and seam allowances and unit size.  Great job!  Keep going!

A man-child's memories in Power Ranger shirts and pajamas -

Becomes a quilt top of childhood memories now that he is in his 30s.

I know it brought a lot of memories while she was working on these saved clothing items from so long ago.

Every surface - everywhere you look something fun is being made!

St Patrick's Day table mats!

Who remembers this quilt book?

Evidently this is a VERY long term UFO - everything had been cut and kitted up and luckily the baggies were labeled with what was what...now the puzzle of figuring out how things go so they can be sewn.

Isn't it great the projects and fabrics have no expiration date?

Though it is a wonder that some fabrics were even printed.  LOL!!

Frogs with Santa hats?

Or what about this one?

Hello, the 1990s called and they want their hearts and teddy bears back!

What's going on here?  I've exhausted a good selection of the neutral cut off triangles I was using to stitch my sawtooth sashings.

Remember when Tumblers was our Leader & Ender challenge of the year?

Evidently I cut WAY more than was necessary for my project (Which is still found under the Free Patterns tab.) and this is a great way to use them.

I can get TWO triangles out of each tumbler, and since I am paper piecing, it just works.

More progress.

I counted everything yesterday and I only have about 80 more to make.

I don't know whether to cheer or cry.  LOL!

Okay, okay - I'll take my own advice and stop focusing on the number of pieces and just keep sewing.

It's going to be awesome....it just is starting to feel "Haven't I made enough of these already yet?" vibes.

But it will be worth it. Right?  RIGHT?!

I want to give a shout out to Lou Ann -

And to Times Square Sewing!

Beautiful display, Lou Ann!

Her En Provence, Good Fortune and On Ringo Lake are stunning.  Thank you for sharing this honor with our Quiltville's Open Studio Group on Facebook.  Well done!

And because it's Saturday Caturday - Here's a bit of Ivy between my kees on the foot rest of my reclining couch comfy spot while working last night's round of hand quilting.
Update:  I've turned another corner and am now on the 3rd side of the 2nd round in toward the center.
It's getting there!
