My Quilt Info #1:

More Quilts For Babies

I have four more baby quilts to share this week.

My Quilt Info #1:

Japanese 99 Charms

These baby quilts are made from 5" charm squares of Japanese prints, cut from leftover bits and saved up over several years. 

I'm making 30 baby quilts to send to the mission board in Japan that my husband and I worked with for 25+ years. They will display them at a special event in Tokyo, in my husband's memory, before taking them on a mission trip to Cambodia in the fall. Read to the end to find out my current baby quilt count.

Pippa 🇯🇵

 This is Pippa, the 12th and last quilt in the Stripology Quickies Club that I've been working on for over a year.

My Quilt Info:

Winny

My finished Winny quilt, quilt number 11 in the year long Stripology Quickies Club!!!

This is my 2nd Winny. I made my first during the Stripology Virtual Retreat in March, 2024, when Winny was exclusively designed for that retreat. Later that year, Gudrun included the pattern in her book, Stripology Quickies. She asked me if she could include a photo of my Winny from the retreat! Here it is pictured inside the book--mine is the large quilt in the photo! ⤵️ I used fabrics from the retreat but changed the background fabric.

Quinn

 This is Quinn, the 10th quilt in the Stripology Quickies Club!!!

First, here are some "Quinn inspiration" I found on "Gudrun's Quilt Crew" Facebook page:

🌈RSC Blue🔷

I'm doing the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) in 2024! June's RSC color is blue! Angela at Super Scrappy posts a new color every month.

This year I'm making butterflies from my spare stash of 5" squares! I'm using the Hope Takes Flight free pattern from Robert Kaufmann.

With this month being all shades of blue, and Japan being the country of "Blue & White", 10 of my prints were purchased in Japan, so I'm not going to ask if you have any of them! There is also, a Tula Pink print, a Decostitch, a Floral Elements, and others, 6 in all, thrown in!

▪️Mini Quilts▪️

Since getting the cast off my arm, I've been making small projects! My wrist is still recovering from the break, so I've found making minis is easier on my wrist. Here are 6 I've made in the past couple weeks:

Back🏠Home x 4

Four of us took the all-day class, "Master Your Stripology Rulers" course at GE Designs in Chaska, Minnesota on October 14th!!! It was taught by 2 Stripology certified teachers, with cameo appearances from Gudrun, designer and author of the Stripology rulers and books. 

The class progressed very methodically from the beginning of her new book, Master Your Stripology Ruler, through to the end. We cut many different shapes and sewed samples along the way, and finished by working on one of the projects in the book, Back Home, involving the Stripology method of making flying geese. Pictured above are the four quilts we started in class, with details to follow, listed in the order I quilted them.

Villa Rosa🌹White Cloud

I was inspired to make this quilt after seeing the original in the Villa Rosa Designs booth at the Minnesota Quilt Show in June! The pattern reminded me of some Japanese fabrics I had that would look great featured in this design!!!
