I hadn't ever paper pieced before and I am so happy that I learned. This month's friendship block was a paper pieced pine tree and it was so much fun. I think it turned out really cute too.

HMQS 2008
We are so excited for HMQS 2008!
This year we have decided to design our own quilt for the show. This has been a very interesting process. The quilt has changed many times and I am so excited about the latest idea. Here are some pictures of our ideas. I will post a picture of the finished quilt in a couple of weeks, I'm so glad that we've taken these pictures along the way! 
First Idea; Black background with poppy's, really cute but we got a cuter idea! 
New Idea; red daisies! They look so happy!

HMQS Block
For the Utah Valley Long Arm Quilt Guild we pieced one block to be in our groups quilt. You had to use the Marie Osmond fabric and the theme is "Wrapped up in our Quilted Past." This is the block that we made. We think that it turned out really cute!2.27.2008
I love machine quilting
One of my favorite things about machine quilting is seeing the quilts that my customers piece. I already love Buggy Barn quilts but this one is so cute. I have quilted these three quilts within the last month, they are all the same pattern but it's so fun to see how different people put a twist on the pattern.

Quilts 4 Cancer
My sister works for the Make A Wish Foundation of Utah. Since she started working there I have become very interested in helping these children who are fighting cancer and other illnesses. I am so excited that the Utah Quilt Guild has challenged us to donate quilts. I am currently making one for a small boy but am planning to make and donate many more!
We are proud to support the Utah Quilt Guild 2008 charity project - QUILTS4CANCER.
13,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year.
Childhood cancer is #1 disease killer of our nation's children
35% of children with cancer die.
Nothing warms a child's heart better than having a quilt of their own to comfort them through the long and strenuous process of treating cancer. Wouldn't it be great if each child between newborn to the age of 20 that is fighting this terrible disease had a quilt? How can you help? Donate a Quilt!
It is the goal of the Utah Quilt Guild to have 250 quilts by 2008 Quilt Festival (September 2008). The quilts will be taken to the area hospitals and given to the children in treatment. Make a difference in the lives of others.
Quilt Requirements
40" X 60" or larger
Tied or Quilted
Quilt Label on back with your name
We will give you a 5% discount off any quilt that we quilt for the Quilts 4 Cancer Charity! Just let us know.
As an added incentive to participate, your name will be entered into a drawing for each quilt you make to win a "Trip Around The World" quilt pieced by Terry Young and quilted by the Corn Wagon. What a great incentive!
Visit the Utah Quilt Guild for more information about this great cause.

Fun Pantographs
I love pantographs. They make quilts look so cute! This quilt was just two pieces of fabric and I used a verigated pink thread and it turned out so cute!2.18.2008
Friendship Block Exchange
In the Heber Valley Quilt Guild they have a friendship block exchange. This is the first block that I made for the exchange. I think this is a fun idea and it gives us the opportunity to make different types of blocks. 2.14.2008
