2024 Finished objects

 

 I started this Kawandi during the class I taught in Fall 2023 at Cedar Lake Quilt Camp. I finished this in February 2024. I'm naming it Saving our Landfills. The fabrics I used were quilt scraps, doilies, and other scraps that were saved from old quilts plus some selvages and old fabric pieces. I love the way it turned out.

I decided to make a kawandi for the Cherrywood Challenge. I bought the stack of fat quarters and this is what I ended up doing. The theme is Poppy.

I really like the way it turned out. I don't expect it to be accepted but it was fun making it.

I spent the week of April 28-May 3rd in Ripley, WV at the first annual Cedar Lake Quilt Retreat. They originally planned to have classes, but no one signed up for classes so they turned it into  a retreat offering a $100 bonus for any guild that brought 5 people (only 1 guild did that.) I sat with some nice people and finished several things:

This is a 3 yard quilt pattern. I have taken it completely apart because once I took the picture, I realized I put it together completely wrong. I will post a picture when I get it put back together correctly.

Here it is put together correctly.

This was a quilt kit I purchased I believe at the OEQS show in Lebanon. I love this quilt and cannot wait to get it quilted.

I had a lot of fabric left over from the quilt kit so I started doing some improv blocks. This is how it turned out. When I showed it to my table mates, they mentioned it looked like it said LOVE. I LOVE how it turned out.

This pattern will have a crocheted edging around it. I pieced, quilted, and bound this while I was at the retreat.

I also started really working on my black and white kawandi. Its going to be so cute!

I finished a cross stitch pattern to honor my trip to South Dakota to see Ginny with Karen.

My latest kawandi called Ebony and Ivory:

My National Park Quilt - the fabric was chosen by Mountain Creek Quilt Shop, the block designs were from Tula Pink's 100 Modern Quilt Blocks. The layout was mostly my design with assistance from my Spring Quilt group, especially Ginny Storm. Ginny was also the person who quilted it on her longarm.

This quilt pattern is an exclusive class project by Linda Hahn. I took this class with Mom and Marian on November 6. I love the way the quilt came together and the fabrics work together. I have not quilted it yet, but that's next.

I finished the middle embroidery piece a little while ago. I purchased some new batting and wanted to try it out so I used this piece. I did not like the batting. But at least the piece is completely finished.

This piece was done in 2022 and I finally quilted it in 2024.
