An Invitation to Join A Guild

 

As a Quilter – I am a Maker.  I believe I am making things matter.  It happens in a smile, or conversation – a comforting fleeting moment of meaning that we must nurture in others, if we are to have our friends catch fire and make an impact in our world. 

Did you know that sparks become flames.  And the flickering light of a fire can be so constructive, warm and calming. Just this simple meeting with others proves to be a really big part of the fun that quilting can bring into our lives.   I have to say that I’ve met some of the finest people ‘around the quilting frame.’

It is the social aspect of meeting with other people who have similar interests.  This is also one of the ways this art of quilting has been passed from generation to generation.

As an organized unit, the Scissor Tales Quilt Guilt (STQG) plans to organize trips, organize quilt shows, invite speakers for trunk shows, make things together for community charity, and promote improvement on various quilting techniques through workshops, as well as encouraging members to show their quilts. To me – and to anyone else who has caught ‘quilting fever’, guilds are indispensable.  I strongly encourage quilters either join a guild -- one that is local to them, or (as I did) even start one of your own where none exist.

Hi Lovely Quilt Friends!   I’m growing my world… reach new horizons 

Etsy and Pinterest are linked in!   Visit soon!

I'm becoming consistent in the use of social media platforms to engage my target audience and steer them toward my website where they can buy my quilts and quilting accessories.  It's a great dialogue that I hope to generate with social media users to reinforce BQUILTIN STUDIO's presence in the market as well as the merits of joining Scissor Tales Quilt Guild. 

FACES ~ A New Way to Love Your Creative Vibe

Your inner being is LOVE- it’s a natural urging from birth.   Your inner being is all CREATIVE.  Both longings come with a mindset… that is…a choice we make again and again—to stay open, to be curious, to reach out others in many small and big ways every day. Love and Creativity looks different for each of us, but we recognize its presence all the same. 

The Future and Past

Younger people see a future that older people can’t see 

but older people have seen a past that younger people haven’t seen

Vivacious Girl ~ Violette's Heirloom Keepsake

 Hello today - Good Quilt Friends!

It's a great Tuesday.... really because it follows my day off.... my day on of free time to quilt.  The weather is still moody.... so good.  I'll go outside if its good for March... if Oklahoma wants to rain and try for storms.. then I'll quilt!

I like to eat, sleep, and breathe quilts, quilt blocks, magazines and quilting.  I check in weekly with my friends and family and I teach a quilt class two days a week.  I am truly inspired by fabric and a fabric sale.  Inspiration is everywhere and I smile daily.  

I'm sharing a bit more after my best friends welcomed their first granddaughter last year.

I'll let a few more pictures showoff my design process..... Go to my FB page to do a double-take journey!  

I knew I'd have to change courses in order to use the HEAT N BOND to cut out the applique letters for this little girl's name!!!!   So -- a few more days.   I really believe I'll be able to deliver this on Sunday to my friends.   

Layout, Layout, Layout.... oh the possibilities!   I switched out the green blouse with HST's

Thanks for sharing my quilt life.....   Be Well !

Finishing Glorious Snow Ball Quilt

 I added a pieced/// really wonderful backing!    Own ward Christian Quilter —-to my friend inspired L-Armer

Violette’s Quilt of Love

This has come along!  How?  

My longarm said her friend was having a fabric stash sale

Heresy where I make my HST line up

My magic is soul pleasing…. The hues of blue and teal.  Then the bold setting of RED … no less!

 I’ve been tasked as a method of friends who ask and joyously send a first grandchild’s tiny booties and clothing to me in a brown box!!!!

Well. I’ve been a year in finding a rhythm… I prepped several items.. but couldn’t get to a layout   So I never miss a sale and she has WORD panels!!

Perfect 

Winter Snowball Quilt is a Winner

 

                 Snowball Quilt

I taught this at my second beginner class project in abt February of 2025 at the NE Wellness & Community Center - OKC.   

I changed the HST to meet and greet.... as a quilter I knew I'd have to re-do the blocks to get this effect.   So near the end.... but it took a minute!

pieced and machine stitched:    size 64” x 78

Side-Line Quilt Start-up

 When have you missed a day of quilting?   Well, I fought the 3-day flu bug (longer) and I did not quilt.  OH MY!!

But my inspiration is still kicking.    I want to SIDELINE-START … the exploding heart quilt….   And another take on the Disappearing Nine Patch!    In fact it’s a Missouri Star…. But I REFUSE to pay pdf.  I’m thinking I’m good enuf (hmnnnn)😄😄😄 to recreate this beauty

I visited my longarm lady(I’m loving her!!!) and her design wall was my show n tell!  Then a couple of YouTube videos.   

I went ahead and///cheated in biting a 10” cake for $40!!

X's & O's Just for you ~ Hugs and Kisses

This,  

My darling -- measures 60" x 60" as a square.  

This quilt trip ---  began back in January 2024 @ the NE Community Wellness Center, NE OKC as I taught my (I'm possessive of this ladies....)... this wonderful group of first-time quilters.   Oh and did they ever learn!

The age-old Hugs and Kisses pattern was adaptable starting with the 7" square and the 4" squares being made into HST's.  

I worked at OK Quiltworks and the bolted fabric had several rows of varied oranges.... so it was a cinch to use.  The individual X/O's made a 13" block four across and four down.  

So here I am... a year later teaching a new SNOWBALL beginner quilt pattern for a new group of ladies!

Thus, I decided to take this quilt top and add the batting and backing!

The backing was my inspiration!!!!!  It was a gift of six yards of YARDSALE African fabric stash-give away!   Dropped off at my front door last month.

The Lord has a really really nifty way of bringing all things together.... for good, for joy and comfort!

African Elephants and Masked-Women ( I imagine) all with just the right tinge of orange   

Now... I'm pulling out my heart strings..... 

I love Ann.   

I love the quilt!   

PERFECT MATCH!   

Keep Stitchin' My friend!
