To Do Tuesday #99

Hello Everyone! Another week is in the books. Last week was spent in Reno taking a couple of classes at Quilt Festival before walking the floor. We checked out the vendors as well as all the quilts on display. I took a class from Laura Heine called Teeny Tiny Elephant Collage (class sample above). Check out what Mary Elizabeth and I got done in class.

The next day we took a class from Reezy for Electric Quilt 8. I have been trying to recreate a free quilt by Fat Quarter Shop for weeks now. All of the exact blocks were not in the program, so I needed to draw them. I wanted to color the quilt using the fabric I purchased Alison Glass 2024 Sunprints. The week before class, I successfully got the swatches loaded but hadn’t figured out how to save them into my library. I had a lot of questions for my teacher. She answered all of them and gave us a lot of good tips for creating quilts. By Friday I finished recreating the quilt design and coloring it. Check it out!

2024 Venti Sunprint Quilt design

I never knew the snail trail block could add so much to a quilt design. I came up with the border from the Reno class. I can not wait to start it. When I printed out the yardage charts I realize that I need a tad bit more fabric for 4 of my colors.

Afterthoughts

I am starting to get ready for the quilt retreat I am attending in July. Three of us are supposed to ride together. I am not sure if that is actually going to work. All three of us have a lot of stuff. LOL 😂

I realized I will need to make a cutting chart by fabric for my newly designed FPP quilt ~ 2024 Venti Sunprint FPP Quilt. I am trying to limit myself to only 3 projects and this will be one of them. I don’t know if it is possible for me to only do three projects for a week. That is way out of my comfort zone.

I really like how my new pieced borders look on my Sunshine Quilt. I totally love the new “red” fill in for my borders. It brought the whole quilt together. So pleased with the results. Now I just am waiting for Gammill to show up to tune my long arm (and rethread it for me 🥹).

I also have to work in some time for helping my daughter move 4th of July week. Plans are in the works but not firm yet. I am so glad it is not ME moving. Lots of planning in my future. Woohoo!

  1. I love the Venti design! Also love the Teeny Tiny elephant! The red absolutely suits the Sunshine quilt!! You have a busy month coming. So glad you added up all the fabric so you can get what you need!!

  2. Your collage is really pretty. The Venti Sunprint quilt will be stunning! I agree with you on the red on your border for the Sunshine quilt, so beautiful. Is your daughter moving near you? Hope you have a great rest of the week Peggy!
