- Sunburst block - the second block of six for the year, complete! No pic – just look at the last one. They are all the same.
Today’s main topic is my wishlist. There is probably some blogging word for it that I don’t know, but I am defining it as a list of techniques, materials, blocks, patterns, etc. that I would someday like to work with. In most cases I would create an entire bedsized quilt for an item on the list. What is on my list? You’ll have to listen to the show to find out!! What is on your list? Leave a comment or blog and leave a link to your blog entry. I’d love to know!
Happy quilting everyone! Welcome to Spring 
Hi Kelley! Glad to see you posted a new show.
On my site you will see I did a Hearts and Gizzards quilt and I did it all by hand.
On my wish list: Medaillion quilt, paper piecing, red work, whole cloth, trapunto (not sure if I spelled that right), grandma’s flower garden (by hand), Dear Jane, landscape, and something with a lot of embelleshment.
Show is great – keep it up.
Your coat looks great! My wish list-red and white schoolhouse, blue and white ocean wave, amish trip around the world, several quilts by Bonnie Blue and by Primitives by Lynda. I just really want to live long enough to finish up some of my ufo’s!
My wishlist:
New York Beauty – paperpieced, love those points.
Carpenters Wheel – DH is a carpenter.
APQS Longarm – preferrably Millenium, still saving, currently have a shortarm.
Anything Miniature – my first quilting project love is miniatures.
QOVs – 2 in progress. DH is retired Navy.
Oh so many more things but those floated to the top instantly while walking and listening earlier this week.
Hi! I am enjoying listening to your podcast. Could you e-mail me the link to the tea cozy tutorial. I can’t seem to find it and I think I would like to make one for a friend.
Keep podcasting!
Hi Kelley,
It is so refreshing to hear about your adventures as a young woman, quilting with 2 children! I wish I had started quilting when I was younger (started sewing when I was 11 ish and only started quilting 2 years ago).
I love that you have a wish list …. I actually made a spreadsheet of my projects and wishes … I have a completed list on the top and the wish projects on the bottom. It is neat to see what I have finished and the ones to look forward to stitching. One of the items that you mentioned on your wish list … the silk crazy quilt … I am making one with my hobbies and favorite places/cities; I love handwork and am including all the different ones that I have learned on mine including beading. Another spin on the crazy quilt … if you save scraps of clothing from your daughter (and/or son) and mementos/photos, etc. Then years down the road, you could put them together as a memory crazy quilt, stitch the pretty stitches and add embellishments for when they graduate grammar or high school. Just a thought … I am working on a college graduation quilt for my son and have bookshelves with books he has read/made a difference amongst the seal of his school, etc. It resembles a stained glass kind of quilt since each is framed with the same dark brown fabric and crazy square or rectangles are different sizes. I also like the red and white quilt idea … Thank you for your podcasts!
